Home care in Mission

Most of Mission's health care sits on one stretch of Hurd Street. Mission Memorial Hospital, with a 24-hour emergency department and free parking, is at 7324 Hurd Street. The Mission Home Health office is a few doors down at 7298, and Fraser Health's local day program and overnight respite stays are at The Residence in Mission, at the hospital address. That keeps a discharge and the follow-up simpler than in many towns. For care the local hospital can't provide, patients may be sent across the Mission Bridge to Abbotsford. Homes range from the older streets near downtown to acreages in Silverdale and around Hatzic Lake, where getting to appointments takes more planning.

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 Mission

Can private care help on the days my parent isn't at the day program?

Yes. A caregiver can help your parent get ready in the morning, drive them to Hurd Street and back, and cover the days the program doesn't run. Fraser Health books the program itself through home health at 1-855-412-2121.

We live near Hatzic Lake. Is that too far out?

No, Mission is part of our service area. Rural homes just need a little more planning, so tell us about the road and parking when you call, and whether your parent still drives.
