In-Home Personal Care & Daily Living Assistance in Langley, BC
Needing help with a shower or getting dressed doesn’t mean someone has to give up their home or the way they like to start the day. It usually means a few specific tasks have become tiring, slow or risky to manage alone.
Personal care fills exactly those gaps — with privacy and patience — while the person keeps doing everything they can and want to do themselves.

Requests in Langley City, Willoughby, Walnut Grove, Fort Langley, Brookswood, Murrayville and Aldergrove are assessed for a suitable local worker match.
Signs that a little hands-on help could make a difference
Families and individuals usually notice small changes first:
- Showers are being skipped because getting in and out of the tub feels unsteady
- Buttons, socks or getting dressed now take a very long time
- Getting up from a chair or the bed has become a struggle
- A spouse is doing more lifting and helping than is comfortable for either of them
- Grooming and appearance matter to them, but have become hard to keep up
- Meals are going half-eaten because eating has become effortful
What personal care can include
Only what has been assessed and agreed in the Care Plan:
Bathing and showering
Help getting safely in and out, washing and drying, at the person’s pace.
Dressing and grooming
Choosing clothes, dressing, hair care and shaving, the way they like it done.
Toileting
Discreet, respectful help with toileting and continence routines.
Mobility and transfers
Help moving around the home and between bed, chair and bathroom.
Eating assistance
Support at mealtimes when eating independently has become difficult.
Personal Care is $65 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum.
Personal care may suit
- Older adults who want to stay at home but need help with a few daily tasks
- People living with a disability or long-term condition
- Someone whose spouse can no longer safely manage the physical side of care
- People who need temporary help after an illness or injury
Why personal care starts with an assessment
The Care Assessment looks at current abilities, daily routines, personal preferences, the layout of the home and any guidance already given by healthcare providers. It also sets out the type and amount of help needed, so the Individualized Care Plan is specific rather than general.
Personal care is only assigned to workers eligible for it. We consider the person's support needs, worker eligibility, availability, preferences and relevant fit when coordinating care. As abilities change, we review the plan with you.
