Richmond runs from Steveston's village quiet to City Centre's tower communities, and we've worked both since 2011. Our caregivers know the parking, the elevators, and the long blocks between.

Most Richmond calls are about Richmond Hospital discharge weeks, parents aging in place who need eyes on a few times a week, and the kind of hourly support that fits around adult children's schedules.
Richmond Hospital discharge weeks drive most of our Richmond calls, and they follow a pattern: the plan assumes someone will be home all day, and the family can't be. We cover the gap (medications, wound care, meals, the first careful walks) and we keep notes the family actually reads. For parents aging in place in Steveston or Broadmoor, the discharge visit often becomes a few steady hours a week once recovery settles.
More on how those weeks work: post-hospital recovery in Richmond.
Public home support in Richmond is arranged through Vancouver Coastal Health; families often blend those hours with ours rather than choosing one or the other. Salve's caregiver-led visits are $41–$45 an hour with RN-led clinical visits at $75. We direct-bill VAC and ICBC (ICBC matters more often than people expect after a crash), while with CSIL you pay us directly from your funding, and we provide itemized receipts for extended health plans.
The full picture, including every funding source we work with: costs and coverage.
Usually within a few days. For Richmond Hospital discharges, call during the stay and we can often have a caregiver at the house the day your loved one comes home.
That's most of our Richmond work: a few of the right hours, timed so someone's there when you can't be: mornings before work, or the late afternoon stretch. Schedules adjust as the situation does.
