Home Care
A Burnaby home care agency that names Richmond among its service areas, covering personal care, dementia and palliative support, and in-home nursing.
The service list runs from companionship at one end to catheter care at the other. Between them sit personal care, home support, dementia care, medication management, post-hospital recovery and end-of-life support, with live-in and overnight cover available. The agency works from Production Way in Burnaby and names Richmond among the communities it covers, alongside Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Langley and several Fraser Valley towns.
Personal care, as the agency defines it, means bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, oral and skin care, and help with mobility and transfers. Companionship runs to community outings, physical activity and memory games. Home support covers grocery shopping and light housekeeping, while dementia care takes in meal preparation and keeping the setting familiar and safe. All of it sits on the home care services list. Seniors, adults with disabilities and people who need additional daily support are the clients described, and caregivers go through multiple interviews plus a reference and criminal record check.
Staffed by registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, the nursing side is a separate line of work, and the company states that every nurse it sends is licensed in British Columbia. Among the services set out under in-home nursing care are wound care and dressing changes, catheter and ostomy care, foot care including diabetic foot care, medication administration by injection or IV where prescribed, chronic disease management for diabetes, COPD and heart failure, and palliative symptom management. What any one client receives is set by the care plan built at the assessment. Nurses are described as staying in contact with the client's physician or discharge team.
From enquiry to care, the process runs in three steps. A call comes first, then a free assessment at home, in hospital or virtually with no commitment attached, then service with caregivers matched for compatibility. Cost depends on the service, the level of care, the hours involved and whether overnight cover is needed, so the quote comes out of that consultation. A mobile app lets families follow the care from anywhere, and a nurse line is described as open around the clock.
Non-franchise and Canadian-owned is how the organisation describes itself, and it frames the benefit as flexible care plans, faster decisions without corporate restrictions and direct contact with leadership and care coordinators. The company is a private home care and nursing provider, and its entry in the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association directory records bereavement support, respite care, and pain and symptom management. Arranging the free assessment starts on 778-608-4255.

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.

Nothing on Alexandra Road is a secret. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.

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.
