Liz and her remarkable team were paramount in making an extremely stressful time period and situation, MUCH easier to navigate. I HIGHLY recommend this company for ANY situation where professional, compassionate, attentive, dedicated & flexible medical assistance is required, both short and long term. My personal experience, and that of my Mom, were made much easier to handle, with Liz's professional knowledge of the system enabling me to navigate some very dark & uncharted territory for me. I couldn't have managed the past 3 months without her & her team. From a simple " nurse call" to full time hospice care at home, Liz & her team handled it all with grace, dignity and charm. I do not hesitate in recommending this company for anyone's needs at all. Bravo Liz & team....you will be in my heart for always.

Although I've only been with Proper Care for a short time, I already feel so welcomed and supported. The team has been incredibly kind, easy to work with, and you can really see how much staff are valued and appreciated. What stands out most is how attentive and dedicated everyone (from the owner to the caregivers) is to the clients' needs. It truly feels like a family than just another workplace. I can proudly say that I've found "the one" work wise! :)

Liz at Proper Care is an absolute gem. As a Registered Nurse, her compassion, professionalism, and dedication to both her clients and the community truly shine through in everything she does. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure people feel supported, cared for, and genuinely valued. What stands out most is her warm and friendly nature — you can immediately tell she has a true passion for helping others. It’s no surprise that Proper Care was recognized with the 2026 Business Excellence Award – New Business of the Year by the Parksville & District Chamber of Commerce. A wonderful local company led by an even more wonderful person. Highly recommended. Bradley Kuerbis
