ALL for Seniors provides information for seniors, their families and their caregivers to assist them in finding senior housing accommodations, from independent retirement living to complex care, on beautiful Vancouver Island.

For those seniors still in the market to purchase homes in Vancouver Island and wish to have adult or senior age restrictions in place, ALL for Seniors provides actual current property listings from REALTORS® and also an extensive list of age restrictive property addresses. Also, ALL for Seniors provides current lifestyle information, such as news and events, specifically for seniors.

For your search options, you can search by area, government subsidy program and/or by care level of senior housing. Click here for the definitions of the different care levels offered by the providers. Click here to get a map of the island.

If there is limited information in the senior housing accommodation postings, it is because the senior housing providers have not completed the FREE All for Seniors Questionnaire.
