Home health care for Richmond households: hourly, overnight, companionship, respite and specialised dementia, Parkinson's and stroke care, open 24 hours from a Surrey base.
Guarding Life Home Care keeps a dedicated page on home care in Richmond, reflecting how much of its work sits on this side of the Fraser. The company is based in Surrey at 3211 152 St and sends caregivers to Richmond households that need a hand, whether that is a few hourly visits a week, overnight cover, or full-time support for someone living with dementia or recovering from a stroke.
The range of care is the point. Beyond hourly and overnight home care, the team provides companionship for people who are isolated, respite so a family caregiver can rest, and specialised plans for Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's and stroke recovery. It also covers care in assisted living facilities, disability support, post-hospital transitions and end-of-life care, all delivered in the client's own home. A walk-through of what hourly care looks like in practice is on the hourly home care page.
The service runs 24 hours a day and holds a 5.0 Google rating. A free first consultation, by phone at (236) 473-1021, sets out what the household needs and what it will cost before anyone commits to anything. Because that range runs from a few hourly visits a week up to full-time and end-of-life care, the consultation is also where a Richmond family works out which level of support actually fits their situation before anything is booked.

Longer reads from the editor, with the places worth a detour linked inside them.
The Night Market's final season is the loud story. The quieter one: free admission at the Cannery ends Monday, Britannia keeps summer hours through Sunday, and Steveston does sunsets better than anyone.

The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
