Burnaby Home Care Resources and BC Health Authority Support Options
If you are looking for dementia or palliative home care in Burnaby, there are both public and private options available to you. Fraser Health’s Home and Community Care offices are a good starting point for publicly funded services. You can reach the Burnaby office at 604-918-7447, New Westminster at 604-777-6700, or Tri-Cities at 604-777-7300.
For private home care that works around your schedule and your loved one’s specific needs, our team is available 24/7. We work alongside health authority services and community organizations like Vancouver Coastal Health to make sure you have the full understanding of what support is available.
For many people living with dementia, staying at home is absolutely possible with the right support in place. The right care team, proper equipment, and some environmental modifications can make a significant difference in keeping your loved one safe and comfortable at home for as long as they wish. A care home may come into consideration when needs exceed what can reasonably be provided at home, but that point is different for every family. If you are unsure where you stand, we can help you talk through your options during your free assessment.
Yes, palliative care is absolutely available for people living with dementia. We offer in-home palliative support that centres on comfort, dignity, and managing symptoms, from pain relief and medication support to compassionate companionship. Our goal is to help your loved one feel safe, calm, and at ease in their own home for as long as possible.
End-of-life palliative care can last anywhere from days to weeks, and in some cases, several months. There is no fixed timeframe. It depends entirely on your loved one’s condition and how their needs change over time. We adjust our care around them, focusing on comfort and dignity for as long as support is needed.
Many palliative services in BC are publicly funded and available at no cost through the Home and Community Care program for those who qualify. Eligibility is determined by a physician or nurse practitioner, typically when a person is in the last six months of life and focused on comfort care. This covers medications, medical equipment, and home support services, such as personal care, for eligible patients. If you are looking for additional, more flexible, or more personalized care beyond what public services provide, we offer private home care options that can fill those gaps and give you exactly the level of support your loved one needs. Contact us, and we can help you understand what is available.
