White Rock families coming home from Peace Arch 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 Marine Drive and the waterfront, Five Corners and Hilltop, East Beach and Centennial Park, and the rest of White Rock.

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.

From Peace Arch back to the routine.
White Rock recoveries have a defined goal: back to the life (the promenade walk, the coffee group, the garden) that made retiring here the point. Peace Arch Hospital is minutes away, which helps with follow-ups; the hill between the beach and Five Corners doesn't, so mobility work is planned around it. Daily visits carry the first weeks (medications, wounds, meals), then taper deliberately as the routine comes back within reach.

Post-hospital recovery in White Rock: what families ask.
How long until she's back to her walks?
The honest answer is the discharge plan's answer: we follow its pace, rebuild mobility indoors first, and accompany the early outdoor walks up the hill. We report progress rather than promising timelines.
Do visits taper off automatically?
They taper deliberately, with you. Most families step down from daily to a few visits a week as strength returns, and some keep a small standing arrangement after. Every step down is a decision made with you.
Where in White Rock we deliver.
We see White Rock families in Marine Drive and the waterfront, Five Corners and Hilltop, East Beach and Centennial Park, and West Beach and Bayview.
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.
