Senior care in Victoria
Victoria is served by Island Health, which coordinates publicly funded long-term care and assisted living placement through a central Community Access Line. The city offers a strong mix of publicly funded care homes, non-profit residences, and private independent living and memory care communities, with several campus-style sites providing multiple care levels on one property. Families should contact Island Health to start a care assessment, as publicly funded placement involves an eligibility process and waitlist.
