Companion Care at home in Metro Vancouver

Companion care is a caregiver who visits on a regular schedule to keep someone company and help with the small things that keep a week running. It suits seniors who live alone, are getting less confident on their own, or simply go too long without seeing anyone. Visits can be a few hours a week or every day.

What's included

  • Conversation, games, reading and hobbies
  • Walks and outings around the neighbourhood
  • Grocery runs, pharmacy pick-ups and light errands
  • Rides and company at appointments
  • Meal preparation and tidying up
  • Reminders to take medication on time

Who it's for

Families who worry about a parent being alone too much, and seniors who want help without giving up their independence.

How it starts

Call or send the form below. A care coordinator visits for a free in-home assessment, checks the bathroom and home for safety risks, recommends a starting plan, and introduces your two or three caregivers before the first visit. Hours change whenever your needs do, with no long-term contract.

Companion Care: common questions

What is the difference between companion care and personal care?

Companion care is company and help around the home: conversation, errands, meals and outings. Personal care adds hands-on help with the body, such as bathing, dressing and getting to the toilet. Many families start with companion care and add personal care later as needs change.

How many hours of companion care can we book?

As few or as many as you need. We set the starting hours at the free assessment and adjust them whenever you ask. There are no long-term contracts.

Will it be the same caregiver every time?

Yes, as far as schedules allow. Each family gets a small team of two or three caregivers, introduced before the first visit, so your loved one sees familiar faces.
