  • Health Authority Redesign Accomplishments
    September 2005 Health Authority Redesign Accomplishments A Four-Year Picture Better Care for Seniors BETTER CARE FOR SENIORS Home and Community Care Redesign Seniors are a vital resource to British Columbia. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our communities and to our growth as a province. Today’s seniors are healthier, living longer and more active than ever before in our history. As this new generation of seniors approaches retirement, British Columbia is striving to ensure they receive the care they deserve. Health authorities are working to provide better care and more options for today and for the future. British Columbia’s strategy involves ensuring seniors receive the right care in the most appropriate setting. Based on extensive research and consultation, health authorities are redesigning health care services to be more senior friendly, to provide more options for independent seniors and to ensure residential care is available if and when seniors need it. When this government took office in 2001, British Columbia’s seniors’ care system was outdated and out of step with what today’s seniors need and want. Since that time, the province has made significant strides. • Wait times for residential care facilities have been reduced to an average of 60 to 90 days, compared to up to a year (and two years in some areas) in past. • Seniors now have more options, in newer facilities that meet modern care standards. Most of all, they are obtaining more timely, appropriate care that supports their independence. • As of June 2005, 4,142 new and replacement residential care beds, assisted living units and supportive housing units have been developed to upgrade outdated care facilities and create new beds and units where needed.

  • BC PROVINCIAL NEWSLETTER.Cdr
    Provincial Newsletter BC October 2013 Hello Brothers, Well it’s been a few months since the Provincial Convention and I just wanted to thank everyone for your support. I have some special thanks going out to the Rossland Aerie members who supported me through the Provincial Chairs, the Drill Team with Captain Joan Klit who did such a great job during the Installation of Officers, and to all the Chairmen who have taken on committees for me during this term. When you receive this newsletter, Yvonne and I will have already started our official joint visitations and we are looking forward to meet as many of you as possible. We are going to start on the Island and then on to the Interior, Kootenays and the Mainland. Check with your local Secretaries for dates. They have my booklet. My theme this year is Irish and my slogan is Bring in a Member and Fill the Pot of Gold. My pin is a Leprechaun and he is the Keeper of the Gold. Should you know of a person who has dropped their membership, pay them a visit and find out why. Maybe you can convince them to re-enroll. It has been shown that most members who come back into the Eagles are usually more involved than before. Due to the rules of the Gaming Commission, I had to change my charity from Alzheimer’s Research to buying much needed equipment for the Alzheimer’s Unit at the Village by the Station in Penticton. This place is operated by a non-profit organization (The Good Samaritan Society) who take in patients from all over the Province.
