Family Caregivers of BC and SafeCare BC bring you COVID-19: Social Visitation Essentials. This self-paced, online course is intended for those who would like to visit a family member or friend residing in a long-term care home or assisted living residence, as permitted by the care home’s safety plan and regional public health direction.
BC is taking a careful, phased approach to re-opening the province. We’re currently in Phase 3, which means that BC’s long-term care homes and assisted living facilities have begun to accept social visitors which is important to support the emotional well-being of their residents. Residents in these organizations are allowed visits from one family member or friend, as long as the necessary precautions are taken.

- an introduction to COVID-19
- details on where British Columbians can find current and reliable COVID-19 information

Upon successful completion of the course and quizzes, you will receive a certificate that can be presented to the management personnel at the long-term care home or assisted living residence. The course is intended to take approximately 1-hour to complete.
