I reached out to Home Instead in order to secure overnight care for a friend’s Mum who was in the hospital in North Vancouver. Selena was very quick to respond, and Fiona was able to organize everything for us at short notice. Melanie, our carer, was extremely helpful, and made my friend’s Mum feel safe. She had such a horrible night beforehand, and having Melanie there as an advocate was invaluable. Melanie ensured that she was comfortable and had everything that she needed. Thank you again to Fiona, Melanie and Selena. You were all so brilliant and kind. You provided us with the peace of mind that she was being taken care by a truly caring professional.

We've been a client of Home Instead for my 87-year-old mother for a year now as we are very pleased with the service and care. From the front line Care Pros who are with my mother for an hour every morning, to the back of house staff doing the scheduling, accounting and all the regular phone and email communicating with family members such as myself, we are thankful to everyone on her care team. My mother is in the early stages of dementia and having a few regular care pros was the main reason we went private vs public, as this, along with specific times, is very important to my mother. They are beyond competent and most importantly, kind. What we thought was going to be a huge transition for my mother was a seamless one. We are especially thankful for Carol and Tahere. With their help, mom is able to stay where she is safe and happy in her 'independent' living seniors residence in North Vancouver.

- Missed medications, meals, or appointments

- Increased forgetfulness or signs of memory loss

Still unsure? A care consultation is a great place to start. We'll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore your options—with no pressure or obligation.
Here's when home care might be the right step:
- You're juggling caregiving with work, family, and your own well-being
- Your loved one's needs are growing beyond what you can manage alone
- You're noticing signs of burnout, frustration, or fatigue
- You want a consistent, trusted partner to rely on
Home Instead Care Pros provide support that fits your routine—not the other way around. Whether it's meal prep, a walk, or help getting to appointments, our care is designed to enhance—not replace—your role.
You don't have to wait for a crisis. Most families who start care with us say they wish they had done it sooner.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer—but if your loved one wants to stay in their own home, in-home care can be the most personal, flexible, and reassuring option.
In-home care vs. assisted living
Assisted living can be great for those who want a communal setting and are ready to relocate. But if your loved one wants to stay at home, in-home care offers:
- One-on-one attention in familiar surroundings
- A flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle
- Support with meals, mobility, personal care, and companionship
- Help from Care Pros who get to know your loved one—building trust and routine
In-home care vs. hiring a private caregiver
Hiring an independent caregiver can seem less expensive—but it comes with risk. As the employer, you'd be responsible for payroll, insurance, and coverage when they can't show up.
With Home Instead, we handle everything:
- Professional hiring, training, and supervision
- Background checks, insurance, and 24/7 backup support
- Personalized matches and no long-term contracts
In-home care is all about helping your loved one stay independent, comfortable, and safe—right in the place they know and love. From simple companionship to specialized dementia support, our Care Pros are here to help make life easier.

It's care on your terms. Ready to get started?
At Home Instead, we don't just send a caregiver—we introduce you to a Care Pro. It's a title we take seriously, because our team members bring more than just help—they bring heart, consistency, and respect for the life your loved one has built.
Here's what sets our West Vancouver Care Pros apart:
- They're trained and trustworthy. Each Care Pro goes through a thorough background check, reference checks, and extensive training—including how to support Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and chronic health conditions.
- They're employees—not contractors. That means we handle taxes, scheduling, and supervision. We also provide liability insurance and workers' comp, so you're fully protected.
- They're matched with care. We take time to match each Care Pro based on your loved one's personality, preferences, and needs. It's not just about filling a shift—it's about building a relationship.
- They show up, and we've got your back. If your regular Care Pro can't make it, we'll send a qualified backup—no scrambling on your end. Our 24/7 support line means help is always a call away.
