- Contact Vancouver Coastal Health to request a home care assessment. A coordinator will visit your parent, review their needs, and build a care plan. You can also ask a family doctor or hospital discharge planner to make a referral. Starting the process early, even before a crisis, gives you more options and less pressure.
- Can I top up public home care in North Vancouver with private help?
- Yes, and many families do. Public hours cover the core needs identified in the assessment, but if your parent needs more help than the funded plan provides, [private home care](/home-care/north-vancouver/) can fill those extra hours. The two services work alongside each other without affecting your parent's publicly funded entitlement.
