Home care in Port Moody

Port Moody is small enough that most families are a short drive from Eagle Ridge Hospital on Guildford Way, right on the Coquitlam border. That makes the first days after a discharge easier, because follow-up appointments and lab visits are close by. Fraser Health's Tri-Cities Home Health team is based in Port Moody too, on Brew Street. The harder part is often the home itself. Housing here ranges from the towers of Suter Brook and Newport Village near Inlet Centre station to houses on the slopes of Heritage Mountain and Glenayre, and each needs a different plan. In a tower, we look at elevators, buzzer codes and parking. On the hillside, we look at stairs, steep driveways and winter access.

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 Port Moody

Which hospital will my parent come home from in Port Moody?

Most likely Eagle Ridge Hospital at 475 Guildford Way. If they needed more specialized care, they may be at Royal Columbian in New Westminster instead. Either way, call us before the discharge date so the ride home, the house set-up and the first visits are planned.

Is there help for seniors in Port Moody beyond home care?

Yes. The Club, run by the Port Moody Seniors Friendship Society on Noons Creek Drive, has programs and company for older adults, and SHARE's Better at Home program helps with chores and rides. A companion caregiver can take your parent to The Club and stay with them.
