Family caregivers across Coquitlam often reach the point of needing a break before they reach the point of asking. Salve provides scheduled respite (a few hours, a weekend, longer if needed) across Town Centre and Westwood Plateau, Maillardville and Maillardville Park, Burke Mountain and Partington, with caregivers your loved one already trusts.

Who it's for
Family caregivers who've been at this long enough to know they need a break. The first call is the hardest; it gets easier.
Hours and schedule
Anywhere from four hours to a full week. We cover days, evenings, overnights, and around-the-clock multi-shift coverage when the situation needs it.
§
The workday, covered.
Coquitlam respite mostly takes the shape of the workday: a standing block that gets a family through eight-to-six while a parent is safe, fed, and in company. The deeper version belongs to the live-in carers: the spouse who hasn't had a full weekend in a year. For them respite is a planned exhale: a Saturday, an overnight, a week with multi-shift coverage, with the same caregiver each time so leaving stops feeling like a risk.

Respite for family caregivers in Coquitlam: what families ask.
Will it be the same person each time?
Yes: same caregiver across visits is the design, for respite especially. Your loved one isn't being handed to a stranger, and your handoff shrinks to a sentence.
Can we book respite for specific dates?
Yes. Plenty of Coquitlam respite is date-driven: a wedding, a work trip, a medical procedure of the carer's own. Scheduled ahead works best; we'll be straight about what's possible on shorter notice.
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.
