The Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL) program gives eligible individuals greater control over how they arrange their home support. CSIL employers are responsible for managing their funding and arranging support according to their individual circumstances and program requirements.

If you are already participating in CSIL and are exploring private home care options, our team can discuss your care needs and explain our available services.
It is important to understand the difference between the CSIL program and a private home care provider.
CSIL is a BC health authority program with specific eligibility, assessment, funding and employer requirements.
1st Choice Home Health Care Servicez Limited does not administer CSIL and does not determine CSIL eligibility or funding.
We are an independent private home care provider.
If you receive CSIL funding, you should confirm with your applicable health authority or CSIL representative whether the services you arrange are consistent with your individual CSIL agreement and requirements.
