Home care in Burnaby

Burnaby families looking for respite care have more choices than most, and it helps to know how they fit together. Fraser Health runs day programs for older adults at New Vista on New Vista Place and at Fellburn Care Centre on East Hastings Street, and Dania Home offers short overnight respite stays, booked through Fraser Health's BookABreak system. Both go through Fraser Health's home health intake first. Private respite with us needs no assessment, so it works well for the gaps: a Saturday off, a week away, or the evening hours after a day program ends. Most hospital stays here are at Burnaby Hospital on Kincaid Street, where a new six-storey pavilion opened to patients in March 2026.

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.

Questions about care in Burnaby

How do I get respite care in Burnaby?

There are two routes. For a Fraser Health day program or an overnight stay at Dania Home, call 1-855-412-2121 and ask about respite. For private respite, call us: we can set up a regular break, like every Tuesday afternoon, or cover a full weekend, with the same small team each time.

My mother goes to a day program. Can you cover the rest of the day?

Yes. Many families pair a day program with private hours: help getting ready and a ride in the morning, then company after she gets home until you are back from work.
