On the North Shore, the calls cluster around three things: respite for adult children commuting across the bridge to downtown, support for parents whose homes have stairs (and steep streets to get to them), and the first weeks back from Lions Gate Hospital.
A Lions Gate Hospital discharge lands differently on the North Shore: the home that was fine before the fall has stairs at the front door and a slope to the sidewalk. Our caregivers plan the first weeks around exactly that: where the grab points are, which routes a walker can manage, how to do Lynn Valley in the rain. Medications, wound care, and follow-up appointments come with us; many families call from the ward so the start date matches the discharge date.
More on how those weeks work: post-hospital recovery in North Vancouver.
Public home support in North Vancouver runs through Vancouver Coastal Health, and many families pair it with private hours for the parts of the day it doesn't reach. Caregiver-led visits run $41–$45 an hour. CSIL, BC's self-directed funding program, works for North Shore families who want to manage their own care budget; with CSIL you hire and pay us directly, while VAC and ICBC we direct-bill, and we provide receipts for extended health plans.
The full picture, including every funding source we work with: costs and coverage.
No. They change how we plan it. The first visit maps the house and the street: where support is needed on the way in, what's safe with a walker, what isn't yet. North Shore terrain is a routine part of the job.
Yes. Our coverage runs from Lower Lonsdale out to Deep Cove and Seymour, and up through Lynn Valley and Edgemont. Distance from the highway doesn't shrink the visit.
Four hours for caregiver visits, which is the minimum-shift standard our caregivers are paid under. Most North Vancouver families find the four hours go to real work: the morning routine, a meal, the walk, the notes.
