Coquitlam stretches from Maillardville's older streets to the newer subdivisions on Burke Mountain. Our caregivers cover both, with the same trained, insured care to either side of the slope.
Most Coquitlam calls come from adult children commuting to Vancouver who need eyes on a parent a few hours a week. Then dementia care with a steady caregiver, and respite for the spouse who's been holding it on their own.
For Coquitlam families the discharge call usually comes from Eagle Ridge, sometimes from Royal Columbian after something bigger. Either way the first weeks look the same: a plan that assumes supervision, and a family that can't provide it around work. We take the daytime (medications, wound care, meals, the careful first walks on Burke Mountain's slopes or Austin Heights' stairs) and hand back a parent who's further along each week.
Fraser Health arranges public home support in Coquitlam; most families who call us are either waiting on it or topping it up. Many also discover their extended health plan helps: the employer plans common among commuting families often reimburse home care against our itemized receipts. Caregiver-led visits are $41–$45 an hour; VAC and ICBC are direct-billed, and with CSIL you pay us directly from your funding.

Common questions from Coquitlam families.
Can you cover hours while I commute downtown?
That's the most common Coquitlam arrangement: a morning or afternoon block timed to your commute, so the day has eyes on it while you're on the highway or the SkyTrain. Schedules flex as yours does.
Do you serve Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau?
Yes: the newer subdivisions up the mountain, Town Centre, Maillardville, Austin Heights, and everything between. Hills and new-build cul-de-sacs are part of the route.
