New Westminster, BC
Non-medical home care in New Westminster
The oldest city in the province, and it shows in the housing: character homes in Queens Park with a lot of stairs, and towers along the Quay where a good number of residents have downsized from exactly those houses.
Both situations produce the same call. In the character homes it is the stairs and the upkeep; in the apartments it is the quiet, once the familiar street and the familiar neighbours are gone. A companion who turns up on the same afternoon each week addresses more of that than families expect.
What we help with in New Westminster
Companionship and social visits
Someone to sit with, talk to and do things with — the part of the day that stops being lonely.
Appointment driving and accompaniment
More than a ride. We park, walk in, and wait with them rather than leaving them alone.
Meal preparation, including diet tracking
Proper meals cooked in your parent's own kitchen, the way they actually like them.
Coming home from Royal Columbian Hospital
Coming home from a hospital stay, with someone there for the drive, the shopping and the first evening. For families in New Westminster this is the call we can usually answer fastest — often the same day, and usually within 24 hours.
We collect them from the ward, drive them home, pick up a prescription the pharmacy has ready, stock the fridge, clear the walkways, and stay to get them settled on that first evening.
