Healthy Aging
Community Living BC and the BC Ministry of Health are committed to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities as they age. We are working to make sure that individuals with developmental disabilities can access high-quality primary care family physicians in their communities, and receive the same attention and care to support healthy aging as other people.
CLBC is the organization responsible for providing disability-related services and supports to individuals living with the label of developmental disability and their families.
