[Article] Using Public Funds To Manage Your Own Home Care In BC
Among the myriad options for British Columbians looking for home care, one lesser-known option is the ability to apply for government funding for private home care under the Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) program. This gives patients, and their families, the opportunity to manage their own home support services rather than relying on local Health Authority home support programs. This program is designed to provide greater autonomy and flexibility, allowing people to customize the care they receive.
