Better at Home Services
Better at Home is a provincial program that helps seniors with non-medical day-to-day tasks so they can continue to live independently in their own homes and remain connected to their communities. Some services are offered for free and provided by volunteers and staff from non-profit organizations. Services may have fees according to a sliding scale that is based on your income and are provided by qualified professionals. Better at Home services vary from community to community.

Our Programs & Services
Boundary Family Services provides a wide variety of programs to meet the interests and needs of children, youth and families throughout the Boundary with the main hub being the Glanville Family Centre in Grand Forks. Some programs require an appointment while other programs are open for drop in. Accessing most programs just requires that you contact us for an intake appointment or drop in time but some programs have specific guidelines and require a referral.
Please call or email us to discuss interest and eligibility.
Boundary Family Services is committed to maintaining the health and safety of our participants through our Communicable Diseases Plan:
- Please do not attend the centre or outdoor groups if you are not feeling well
- Physical distancing with staff and other participants is encouraged
- Practice healthy hand hygiene by washing your hands or using the provided hand sanitizer when entering the centre or attending an outdoor group
- Enhanced cleaning measures are in place in all areas
- Masks are available but are no longer mandatory in indoor spaces
Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep our community safe and healthy.
