Choosing a licensed care facility for your loved one is an important responsibility. It takes time, planning and patience to find the right care provider. Licensing staff represent the public and families who rely on care providers (operator's and employees) to look after their loved ones.
The main goal is to ensure care providers meet and maintain basic health, safety and care standards as described in legislation and treat those in care with dignity and respect, recognizing the individuality of each person and honoring their rights.
The Licensing Program is responsible for monitoring compliance of licensed facilities to the Community Care and Assisted Living Act, the Community Care and Assisted Living Regulation, the Child Care Licensing Regulation and the Residential Care Regulation.
