Live-in care/ Live-in companion services in Duncan & Cowichan Valley
At Unique Home Health Care, we provide various home care services for seniors to meet their requirements without having to move to an assisted living facility by providing live-in care/companion services. Our live-in care/companions help seniors keep up with daily tasks, including the taking of medications and dealing with emergencies.
We understand that seniors living alone might struggle with isolation, which is why our services extend to include meaningful live-in companionship. We will organize social outings and encourage seniors to have social interaction. Get in touch with us if you'd like to know more about our live-in care/companions in Duncan and Cowichan Valley.
Public Facilities/Institutions
The only alternative left is a public facility/institution, for which the wait list is generally 6 to 9 months. Unfortunately, in Canada, public facilities/institutions are no more than “warehouses” for seniors where they are simply processed and drugged daily. These facilities shamefully strip individuality and over-medicate. Life expectancy is greatly decreased.
World-wide statistics encourage seniors staying in their homes for as long as possible. They live happier, longer, more productive lives and take far less medication. Remaining at home should be the priority whenever possible.

Live-in Care/Companion Coverage
Unique Home Health Care provides two consistent live-in care aides. The client has the same two care aides on an ongoing basis. Two care aides also provide for sick time and vacation coverage.
Coverage for a twenty-four-hour sleep-over shift is $375, which is currently the most competitive rate in all of British Columbia.
Companionship
Seniors living alone experience more isolation than other age groups. For seniors, the lack of family and friends interactions causes loneliness.
Safety and Peace of Mind
Unique Home Health Care’s 24-hour in-home care/companionship offers the family and concerned friends the assurance their loved one has a capable care aide with a watchful eye.
This wonderful service is a caring, compassionate alternative to a facility or institutional placement.
