Shylo
Companion Care
Services in North Vancouver

At Shylo, we prioritize Consistency of Care by scheduling the same Companion or Caregiver whenever possible, reducing stress and confusion for senior clients. Most clients need just one or two Companions, depending on their weekly schedule, allowing for a balanced team approach to meet all needs. While some may initially hesitate about having two Caregivers, many find they complement each other’s strengths, like cooking or organizing. Consistency is best achieved with a regular schedule, as frequent changes or short notice can make it more challenging.

Some insurances in Canada do cover in-home support. We encourage each client to speak with their insurance provider directly to confirm what their specific policy covers. We find it’s always best to have confirmation of insurance coverage in writing to avoid misunderstandings.

Companions provide non-medical support like companionship, transportation, meal prep, errands, and even pet care, while ensuring client safety and calling for help in emergencies if needed. They can also organize social events or enjoy one-on-one activities like board games. For more advanced care, such as personal care or medication assistance, a Home Support Worker may be required. Shylo Nursing Supervisors offer complimentary in-home assessments to create tailored Care Plans.
