Personal care in New Westminster (bathing, dressing, mobility) happens in homes from Queens Park and Uptown, Sapperton and McBride, Downtown and Quayside to the rest of the city. Salve caregivers are trained to do it carefully and with the dignity of the person being cared for.
§Small tasks around the visit: a meal, bed changing, a load of laundry
§
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.
§
Modern care in hundred-year-old bathrooms.
New West's heritage homes come with heritage plumbing: clawfoot tubs, narrow doorways, bathrooms retrofitted into former closets. Personal care here starts by solving the room (the assessment maps what's safe in the actual space) and then runs on conduct: bathing, dressing, toileting, and transfers at the client's pace, by the same caregiver every visit. The house keeps its character; the care keeps its standards.

Personal care in New Westminster: what families ask.
A clawfoot tub and a bad hip: honestly, workable?
Honestly: sometimes, with technique and the right equipment, and sometimes not. The assessment will tell you which this is, and what a bath bench or a shower conversion would change. You'll get the real answer either way.
What does “at her pace” mean in practice?
The visit is paced to the person. The four-hour structure exists precisely so bathing and dressing never have to be rushed to fit a schedule.
