Testimonials

  • Thanks for the help

    Homecare West works for me, with me and takes care of chores that I can no longer handle.  The caregivers offer an affordable luxury that gives me comfort and peace of mind.  Thanks for the help. Lynda Kirkham

  • Thank you for your staff

    Thank you for your staff always being so reliable- your girls were great with Mom! I appreciate also that you always kept me in the loop - trust me not everyone does that! Thank you again for all your help! “B”

  • “The staff went above and beyond”

    Rachel and her staff from Homecare West were wonderful with my parents.  Always courteous, caring and professional, the staff from Homecare West made a great difference in both of my parents health and well-being. The staff went above and beyond in their work. Even when we needed to change the care schedule on short notice, Rachel and her staff were most accommodating. Barbara and I highly recommend Homecare West.

  • “He feels extremely safe”

    We absolutely LOVE Emelee, as do the staff and other residents at Point Grey. I find the elderly residents get a little jealous of the attention my father gets, but we remind them that Emelee does not work there. She is constantly observing my Dad, and understands his little nuances. He feels extremely safe with her; and we have absolute peace of mind that he is well looked after. I love that they sing together; and that she takes him outside for fresh air. I have become very aware of the needs and issues of the elderly over the past several years (adding to the compassion I have always had for older people). In addition to health care/support, the key to a happy remainder of one’s life is social interaction and the feeling that you are still loved and needed. Emelee makes him feel that way. I would also commend your other team members (past and present) for their excellent work with my Dad – specifically, Aberash, Grace and Marsel.

    Thank you!

    First of all, let me thank you and Homecare West for all your service for our service for our mother, over the past four years. Very much appreciated.

    We will certainly recommend Homecare West to any friends of ours who are looking for those services.

    Thanks again

  • “You are the best care girls in the world”

    Re: My Aunt

    You are the best care girls in the world. You were such a wonderful support for Marion to have in her home for the last 2.5 years. You were kind, caring, and attentive. You made the last few years of Marion's life manageable and easy. She would have hated a nursing home...noise, confusion, sterile. You made it so possible for her to remain in the only home that she ever had. Her neighbours and community were so special to her. She was a very lucky person. I so enjoyed coming and staying with you in my grandparent's home. I got to know you both and appreciated all that you did for her (and me too!).

    Marion was soon special to me (as you know). I loved her dearly.

    You both deserve a holiday for your fine, fine work.

    Am so glad to know you both and when I'm in Vancouver the next time, I hope to meet you and give you both a big hug.
