Abbotsford, BC
Non-medical home care in Abbotsford
Abbotsford is the furthest east we go, and it is a city with a genuinely rural half. A family on a berry farm out past Bradner is in a different situation from one in a Clearbrook townhouse, even though both have the same city on the envelope.
On the farms the problem is distance. Once someone stops driving, the nearest shop is a twenty-minute trip and the visits stop arriving. Closer in, around Clearbrook and the older streets near downtown, it is more often the house itself — the stairs, the upkeep, and the long afternoons alone. We schedule Abbotsford in longer blocks for the same reason we do in Maple Ridge, so the drive out does not eat the visit.

Coming home from Abbotsford Regional Hospital

We collect them from the ward, drive them home, pick up a prescription the pharmacy has ready, stock the fridge, clear the walkways, and stay to get them settled on that first evening.
