Records of the Continuing Care Division

  • GR-2690
  • Series
  • 1981-1983

Records of the Continuing Care Division, a successor of the Long Term Care program. The Long Term Care program became effective 1 January 1978. It was designed to meet the needs of persons who could not live without help because of health-related problems which did not warrant care in an acute care hospital. The Ministries of Health and Human Resources were jointly responsible for the program. In 1983, the program's official designation was changed from Home Care/Long Term Care to Continuing Care Division, Institutional Services.

  • Series
  • 1979-1987

The series consists of policy, program, and committee files from the executive director’s office, Continuing Care Division, Ministry of Health, 1979 to 1987. These records document the division’s core function of administering continuing care programs (Home Nursing Care, Community Physiotherapy, and Long-Term care) that enable individuals with health-related problems to maintain personal independence as much as possible. The records demonstrate how the division supports personal, family, and community involvement in the planning and provision of care for these individuals. Examples include: community physiotherapy, home nursing care, and long-term care (from home support to residential care). The records were created by BC’s Ministry of Health under the Community Care Facility Licensing Act (RSBC 1979, c. 57) and the Hospital Act (RSBC, c. 176).
The records are arranged by subject and numerically by ministry code. They consist of correspondence, reports, meeting agendas and minutes, program guidelines, memoranda, and briefing notes. The records are covered by the Executive Records schedule (schedule 102906). Routine administrative files were selected for destruction.
