Are transfers safe in a small apartment?

Yes, with planning. The assessment checks the actual spaces (bed height, bathroom clearances, what equipment would need if it ever comes to that), and techniques are matched to the rooms, not a textbook.

Can visits be timed to the morning routine?

That's the most common shape: a morning block covering wake-up, bathing, dressing, breakfast, and medications. Evenings work the same way in reverse.

Who it's for

Older adults who need physical assistance with daily activities, and the families who'd rather it be done by someone trained than by someone who loves them too much to do it well.

Hours and schedule

Four-hour minimum per visit. Days, evenings, overnights, and 24-hour care when needed.

Careful hands, every kind of home.

Personal care in Burnaby splits between tower bathrooms (compact, tiled, sometimes retrofitted) and older houses where the only full bath is upstairs. The caregiver's job is the same in both: bathing, dressing, toileting, and transfers done at the client's pace, with technique that protects skin and dignity at once. Family members often start by helping and gratefully stop; this is the work it's genuinely better to hand to someone trained.
