Home care in Hope

Hope sits where Highway 1, Highway 3 and the Coquihalla meet, at the eastern edge of the Fraser Valley, and it is the farthest community we serve. Fraser Canyon Hospital on 7th Avenue is a small 16-bed hospital with 24-hour emergency care and general medicine, and Fraser Health's Hope Home Health office shares the same address. For surgery or specialist care, patients often travel to Chilliwack or Abbotsford, so coming home to Hope can mean a long drive on discharge day. Winter adds to that, because the highways around Hope can close in bad weather. Care here works best when it is planned a little further ahead than it would be in the city.

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 Hope

My mother is in hospital in Chilliwack but lives in Hope. How do we get her home?

Our hospital-to-home service can cover the drive back to Hope and the first days of settling in. Give us as much notice of the discharge date as you can, and in winter keep an eye on the highway forecast.

Is Hope too far for regular home care?

No, Hope is part of our service area. Regular, scheduled visits work best here, so we set the schedule with you at the free assessment rather than booking one visit at a time.
