The senior home in Ucluelet

Forest Glen, at 1783 St. Jacques Blvd., is the only option in town and it offers assisted living: a private suite along with hospitality services and help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and mobility, plus a 24-hour emergency response system, consistent with how assisted living is defined across British Columbia. There's no independent living, long-term care (nursing home), or memory care community listed in Ucluelet itself, so anyone needing a higher level of care, or wanting more choice, will likely need to look beyond the town. See the full assisted living listing for Ucluelet for details on Forest Glen.

Public long-term care and home care for Ucluelet residents

Publicly subsidized long-term care and assisted living in British Columbia are arranged through the regional health authority after a care needs assessment, with subsidized rates based on income. Assisted living residences, including Forest Glen, must be registered with the province's Assisted Living Registrar. To start the process, a family can contact the local home and community care office, or call 8-1-1 (HealthLink BC) for guidance on eligibility, assessments and what's available in the area. Because Ucluelet has only one private listing, residents who need a subsidized placement or a different level of care, such as a nursing home, may be offered options in nearby communities as part of that assessment.

How to choose a senior home in Ucluelet

• Start with a care needs assessment through the health authority (or use our free care assessment) to clarify the right level of care before you call any residence.
• Contact Forest Glen directly for current pricing, suite availability and what's included in the monthly rate.
• Ask what is and isn't covered: meals, housekeeping, personal care hours, and any extra charges for medication management or higher care needs.
• Given the limited choice in Ucluelet, many families also look at senior homes in nearby larger centres to compare price and availability; expand your search if you want more than one option.
• Tour in person, ideally at mealtime, and read the residency agreement closely before signing anything.
