Coquitlam families coming home from Eagle Ridge Hospital usually need the same thing the first week: someone to follow the discharge plan when family can't be there all day. Salve covers that across Town Centre and Westwood Plateau, Maillardville and Maillardville Park, Burke Mountain and Partington, and the rest of Coquitlam.

Who it's for
Families whose loved one is coming home after surgery, a hospital stay, or a fall. With registered nurses on the team and a BC HCP license, we cover both the personal-care and the clinical sides of recovery: wound care, infusions, medication management, the lot.
Hours and schedule
Most families start with daily visits in the first week, then taper. Four-hour minimum per visit. Days, evenings, overnights, or 24-hour care depending on what the recovery calls for.
§
The bridge between discharge and independence.
Coquitlam's recovering patients tend to come home from Eagle Ridge to houses with levels (a Westwood Plateau split-level, stairs to the only full bathroom) while the adult children are an hour away in traffic. Recovery visits bridge exactly that: the daytime hours nobody can cover, spent on medications, wound checks, and mobility work matched to the actual staircase. The family gets notes instead of guesswork, and the recovery gets supervision instead of luck.

Post-hospital recovery in Coquitlam: what families ask.
Can visits run evenings instead of days?
Yes: days, evenings, overnights, or 24-hour coverage depending on what the recovery calls for. Many Coquitlam families anchor visits to the commute window, then shift as strength returns.
How do you handle a sloped driveway with a walker?
By planning the route before practising it. Slopes, steps, and rain are standard Coquitlam variables; the caregiver maps the safe path at the first visit and mobility work builds on it gradually.
Where in Coquitlam we deliver.
We see Coquitlam families in Town Centre and Westwood Plateau, Maillardville and Maillardville Park, Burke Mountain and Partington, Eagle Ridge and Coquitlam West, and Austin Heights and Como Lake.
What it costs, and how families pay for it (extended health, VAC, CSIL,
and more), is laid out in costs and coverage. The people behind the visits are here: meet our caregivers.
