Frank'n Sense, who is a member of this forum, is a relocation consultant and realtor. If he is not familiar with the market niche in which you are interested, I'm sure he can refer you to a realtor who is.

Here is the link about BC Housing,hopefully you will find info.as a
housing provider for the seniors according to their level of care.

Private and corporate homes in BC work in partnership with the govt.
and the health care system.

With more housings available in the community that would surely help to ease
the bed shortages in the hospitals.

Good luck with your elderly home care venture.

Much the same as 'hen's teeth'...I wish you well!
