Personal care in Vancouver (bathing, dressing, mobility) happens in homes from Downtown and the West End, Kitsilano and Point Grey, Mount Pleasant and Main Street 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.
§
Done with care, in every sense.
Personal care in Vancouver happens behind a lot of different doors: a Strathcona heritage house, a Yaletown tower, a basement suite in Renfrew. The work is the same everywhere: bathing, dressing, transfers, continence support, delivered at the person's pace by a caregiver they recognize. Buildings add their own logistics (bathrooms up narrow stairs, tubs from another era), and the first visit maps all of it before the routine starts.

Personal care in Vancouver: what families ask.
What if the bathroom setup is awkward?
Awkward bathrooms are the rule. The assessment looks at the actual tub, the actual stairs, the actual grab points, and the care plan works with what's there, with honest advice when a piece of equipment would make things safer.
Does personal care have to mean daily visits?
No. Some clients need help with a morning routine a few days a week; others need daily support. It scales to the situation, four hours at a time.
