The call from Maple Ridge often comes after a fall. Not a dramatic one, just a stumble in the yard or on the stairs that ends with a night in hospital and a family suddenly aware that the house is not as manageable as it was.

Recovery at home after that kind of event is where a few weeks of structured help earns its keep. Someone to be there in the morning, to make sure the exercises happen, to cook something and to notice if the bruising is worse than it looked. Alzheimer’s support is the other frequent need out here, usually because a spouse has been managing and has reached the point of needing relief rather than advice.

Caregivers come from the Surrey office at 3211 152 St. There is no charge for the first conversation, and the line at (236) 473-1021 is answered day or night.
