Home care in Abbotsford

Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre on Marshall Road is the largest health care facility in the Fraser Valley, and it is where most Abbotsford residents go for emergency care, surgery and cancer treatment. Fraser Health's Abbotsford Home Health office is on Marshall Road too. The city covers a lot of ground, from Clearbrook and the city centre out to the farms of Matsqui, Bradner and Sumas Prairie, so distance shapes care here. Abbotsford also has a Fraser Health South Asian Day Program for Older Adults on George Ferguson Way, alongside day programs at Maplewood House and on Cottage Lane. Language is one of the things we match caregivers on, so tell us at the assessment if your parent is more at ease in Punjabi.

Companionship to 24/7 live-in care, from a small, consistent team. Free in-home assessment: call 604-374-1927, 7am to 9pm, seven days a week.
