Dementia Care, Alzheimers’ Care And Other Special Needs in North Vancouver

We know how hard it can be on a family when a loved one is suffering mental health issues. Life does not stop. You still have a full-time job, kids that need you, and a loved one who cannot manage safely on their own. Let us help!

As registered nurses we are trained to handle special care cases like Dementia and Alzheimer’s’ disease. We know what to look for and how particularly to handle each delicate situation. We can help the family understand what is happening to your loved one, and as things move and progress, we can keep you up to date so your loved one is getting the very best care.

Changes in Care

As time goes by, your loved one may require more or less care than originally planned. This is never a problem.

We are very flexible and can re-organize our Caregivers and/or hours of care to meet any new requirements. Should it be necessary for a client to move into residential care, Shylo can offer continued support through private companionship and Added Care services.

We know how overwhelming it can be when you’re suddenly faced with a health crisis in your family and how confusing the healthcare system can be for those not familiar with it. Let us help you and your loved one make a difficult situation easier for everyone concerned.

Margot Ware

Margot Ware Shylo Healthcare

Owner of Shylo Home Care for 25+ years!

I am Margot Ware, RN BScN, GNC (c), the present Director/Owner of Shylo Home Healthcare. I initially joined the Home Healthcare company as a Companion in 1986.

Impressed by both Betty and Linda's home nursing and palliative care of my terminally ill mother and later my aged grandfather, I felt that I literally stumbled into my vocation through their wonderful example.

I started my educational journey towards a Registered Nursing degree while continuing to work as a Home Healthcare Aide at Shylo. Ten years later, when Betty and Linda decided to retire, I took over the company that she'd grown to love.

FAQs

Couple reading FAQs about their mortgages

What Is the Complimentary, No-Obligation, In-Home Assessment?

We’ll come to your home to assess your needs and discuss care options with you. With a personalized care plan and some support from qualified caregivers, most seniors can stay in their own homes if they wish. Even if you choose not to use our services, you will be better informed about which services are available for you.

Are Home Care Services Available 24 Hours A Day?

Yes, we design your individual care plan together based on your specific needs and we can adjust, as your care needs change. We can provide care as needed from 4 – 24 hours a day or Live-in Care.

Is Homecare a Cost-Effective Alternative to Institutional Care?

Yes, Home Care is an affordable option. Most people would prefer to remain in their own home, and we help make this dream a reality. One of the most common misconceptions about private nursing is that it’s a luxury reserved for the wealthy as many people cannot afford ongoing 24-hour care, but most of our clients only need a few hours of support a day, some only require support a few times a week or month.
