At Home Program
Also known as: British Columbia At Home Program
What does At Home Program mean?
The At Home Program is a British Columbia program that may offer supports to eligible children and youth who have severe disabilities or complex health needs, helping families care for their child at home rather than in a residential setting. Supports through this program can vary and may include things like respite, specialized equipment, or medical supplies, depending on a child's assessed needs. It is designed to recognize the significant efforts families make in supporting children with high support needs.
Why this term matters
For families in British Columbia whose child has complex needs, the At Home Program may provide access to supports that can make daily caregiving more manageable and help the whole family thrive.
Canadian context
The At Home Program is specific to British Columbia, and eligibility is assessed on an individual basis by program administrators. Not all children with disabilities will qualify, and the types of supports available may vary depending on a child's specific needs and circumstances.
