Home care in White Rock

White Rock is built on a steep hillside, and that shapes care here more than almost anything else. Getting from a house near Marine Drive up to the shops on Johnston Road is a real climb, and many homes on the hillside have long staircases or steep driveways. For an older person, that can mean staying in more than they want to. Peace Arch Hospital on Russell Avenue serves White Rock and South Surrey, so most hospital stays and follow-up visits happen close to home. When we plan care in White Rock, we start with how the person gets in and out of the house, then build visits around errands, appointments and time outside.

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.
