B.C. Needs 16,000 More Seniors Care Beds — How Prima Living Is Rising to the Challenge

Written By Stephen Im

According to the Office of the Seniors Advocate, British Columbia will need 16,000 additional long-term care beds over the next decade to meet the growing demand for seniors housing and care. The numbers are clear: as our population ages, the need for safe, supportive, and community-focused living environments is only increasing.

At Prima Living, we see this challenge as a call to action. Our mission has always been to reimagine senior living in Canada — creating communities where older adults are not just cared for, but truly seen, valued, and inspired. By blending operational expertise, cultural sensitivity, and people-first values, we’re working to expand access to high-quality senior living options across the country.

Our Commitment

  • Expanding Access: Through partnerships and acquisitions, we are actively growing our network of managed residences to meet rising demand.

  • Community-First Care: Every property we manage emphasizes warmth, belonging, and culturally attuned services — from tailored dining to meaningful activities.

  • Operational Excellence: Backed by Primacorp Ventures, we bring proven systems, healthcare expertise, and best practices to every community.

The growing need for seniors housing in B.C. underscores why our work is so vital. Seniors deserve more than a bed — they deserve a home that offers safety, connection, and dignity.

Prima Living is committed to being part of the solution. Together, with government, partners, and families, we can ensure that seniors today — and tomorrow — have the homes and care they need to thrive.
