Home care in Pitt Meadows

Pitt Meadows is a small city with no hospital of its own. Residents use Ridge Meadows Hospital on Laity Street in Maple Ridge, a short drive east, and the nearest Fraser Health home health office is on the same street. Much of Pitt Meadows is farmland and dyke trails, with most homes in and around the town centre. The town itself is easy to get around, but the farms and acreages to the north are spread out, so travel time is part of the plan. For family visiting from elsewhere, the Pitt River Bridge from Port Coquitlam and the Golden Ears Bridge from Langley are the main ways in.

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 Pitt Meadows

Is there a hospital in Pitt Meadows?

No. The closest is Ridge Meadows Hospital at 11666 Laity Street in Maple Ridge. For care it can't provide, patients may be moved to a larger Fraser Health hospital. Our hospital-to-home service can plan the trip home from any of them.

Can you provide care on a farm or acreage outside the town centre?

Yes. When you call, tell us about the driveway, parking and anything a caregiver should know about reaching the door, especially after dark in winter, so the first visit goes smoothly.
