Personal care in White Rock (bathing, dressing, mobility) happens in homes from Marine Drive and the waterfront, Five Corners and Hilltop, East Beach and Centennial Park 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.
§
Trust, built one visit at a time.
Accepting help with bathing and dressing is hardest for the generation that prides itself on never asking, which is much of White Rock. So the care is built to earn its place: the same caregiver every visit, introductions done properly, the early visits paced so dignity is never the price of safety. The technical work underneath (transfers, fall prevention, continence support) is trained and certain; the manners are what make it welcome.

Personal care in White Rock: what families ask.
What if she cancels the first visit?
We expect some of that, and we don't force the pace. A softer start (shorter involvement, companionship-forward) usually succeeds where insistence fails. The 15-minute call is where we plan that approach with you.
Both my parents need a little help. One visit?
Often yes: couple's care covers both people in a single visit, with the second person added at $20 an hour rather than a second bill. The assessment confirms it suits their needs.
