Surrey is big enough that it works like several cities, from Whalley and Guildford in the north to Newton, Cloverdale and South Surrey. Surrey Memorial Hospital in Whalley handles most hospital care, while families in South Surrey often use Peace Arch Hospital. A second hospital and BC Cancer centre is being built in Cloverdale, targeted to open in 2030. For respite care, Surrey has six Fraser Health day programs for older adults, including Brella's sites in Newton, Guildford and South Surrey, one at the Czorny Alzheimer Centre, and one run by Progressive Intercultural Community Services. Private respite with us fills the hours those programs don't cover, like evenings, weekends or a full week away.
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.
Fraser Health has two home health offices in Surrey, Gateway on 108th Avenue and Newton on 132 Street. New clients start with the access line at 1-855-412-2121.
Brella Community Services runs Better at Home across Whalley, Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton, Cloverdale and South Surrey, with housekeeping, grocery help, yard work and friendly visits for people 65 and over.
If your parent is most at ease in Punjabi, Hindi or another language, say so at the assessment. Language is one of the things we match caregivers on.
