Personal care in Richmond (bathing, dressing, mobility) happens in homes from City Centre and Brighouse, Steveston and Seafair, Thompson and West Richmond 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.
§
Help that keeps its manners.
Personal care succeeds or fails on conduct: how the bathing is offered, how the dressing is paced, whether the person feels assisted or handled. Our Richmond caregivers are trained for that conduct (announce, ask, never rush) and for the mechanics underneath it: transfers, fall prevention, continence support. The visit also absorbs the small surrounding tasks, a meal or a load of laundry, so the help feels like care rather than a procedure.

Personal care in Richmond: what families ask.
Is bathing safe with her balance the way it is?
That's what the assessment answers honestly. We look at the actual tub and the actual transfer points, plan the technique to match, and tell you plainly if a grab bar or bath bench should come first.
Can what's included change over time?
Yes: the care plan is a living document. Many Richmond clients start with bathing support a few days a week and add pieces as needs grow. Nothing is locked at the first visit.
