Langley is two municipalities. The small City of Langley sits in the middle, and the much larger Township of Langley surrounds it, taking in Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Brookswood, Fort Langley and Aldergrove. Langley Memorial Hospital on Fraser Highway serves both, and Langley Home Health and the Langley Adult Day Centre are both on 56 Avenue. The Township is spread out, though. Aldergrove is a good drive east of the hospital, and Fort Langley and Walnut Grove are in the north, near the Fraser River, so appointments and errands take more planning from there. When we plan care in Langley, we look at where the bedroom and bathroom are, how the person gets around, and how far they are from the help they use most.

Does it matter if we live in the City or the Township of Langley?
Not for care. Both are served by Langley Memorial Hospital and Langley Home Health, and we cover both. It mostly changes travel time: a home in Aldergrove needs a little more planning for appointments than one near the hospital.
Where can my mother meet people her own age in Langley?
