Personal Care at home in Metro Vancouver

Personal care is hands-on help with daily routines a person can no longer manage safely alone, like bathing, dressing, grooming and using the toilet. A trained caregiver comes to the home on a set schedule and follows the same routine every visit, at the person's own pace.

What's included

Bathing, showering and washing
Dressing, grooming and oral care
Toileting and continence care
Help getting in and out of bed or a chair
Safe walking and moving around the home
Meal preparation and help with eating

Who it's for

Seniors and adults with limited mobility, people recovering from illness or injury, and families who can no longer safely give this care themselves.

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.

Personal Care: common questions

Is personal care covered by the BC government?

Publicly subsidized home support in BC covers personal care, but only after a clinical assessment by your health authority, and you pay a daily rate based on income. Private personal care with us needs no assessment and you choose the hours. Some families use both.

My parent is embarrassed about needing help bathing. How do you handle that?

We keep the same small team so the person gets to know who is helping them. Caregivers explain each step, let the person do what they can for themselves, and keep them covered and warm. Dignity comes first.

Can personal care visits be short?

Yes. A morning visit to help with getting up, washing and dressing is common. We plan visit length at the free assessment.
