I would like to find a reasonable, perhaps government subsidized, apartment for my family member -perhaps assisted living as they are a wheelchair user. This family member lives in another province, and I would like them to move to BC but they are afraid to fly, get on a bus, and unsure about driving. First question, do you know how I could find suitable Assisted Living residences? Second question, do you know of of anyway someone could drive them here? Thank you.
