The AgeCare Monashee Mews is a long-term care home in Lumby with 46 publicly funded beds.

Long-term care is for adults with complex health care needs requiring 24-hour professional care due to physical disability, or mental or behavioural conditions, including brain injuries or dementia.

All long-term care facilities in British Columbia must provide care that meets Licensing standards. The Community Care Licensing office ensures these standards are met.

Generally, the best quality of life is achieved by remaining in one’s own home environment for as long as possible. However, when someone is no longer able to live at home with assistance, the Home and Community Care office of Interior Health is available to help explore the options. The Home and Community Care care manager will complete an assessment of need.

The costs of living in a long-term care home are very similar to the costs of living independently at home. The monthly cost for publicly subsidized long-term care is based on 80 per cent of your after-tax income, with set minimum and maximum rates. This rate schedule is determined by the province. Your personal rate is based on information obtained from your Canada Revenue Agency income tax assessment.
