Family caregivers across Langley 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 Walnut Grove and Yorkson, Willoughby and Routley, Murrayville and Brookswood, 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.
§
Stepping away, when stepping away is hard.
On a Langley acreage, the family carer can't just pop out: leaving means logistics, and so nobody leaves. Respite restores the option: a trained caregiver takes the day or the weekend, your loved one keeps their routine and their property, and the carer gets distance that doesn't require guilt or a contingency plan. It runs from a four-hour block to a week of multi-shift coverage, scheduled ahead so the rest is real.

Respite for family caregivers in Langley: what families ask.
Could I actually take a week away?
Yes: a full week with multi-shift coverage is an established arrangement. It takes planning on both sides, and the handoff notes at each end make it work.
What do the handoff notes include?
What happened, what was eaten, medications given, mood and mobility, anything unusual. Detailed enough that you come back informed, short enough that you'll actually read them.
