Meet the Team
Behind Two Decades of Home Care in Squamish
Since 1999, our team has been part of the Squamish home care and community health network, walking alongside clients and their families through some of life’s most challenging transitions. That’s over 25 years of hands-on experience built by caregivers who know this community well.
Every member of our team brings genuine compassion to helping seniors stay independent in the homes they love. We take the time to understand each client’s unique needs, then build personalized care plans around them, offering not just practical support with daily activities, but real relief and peace of mind for the whole family.
What sets our team apart is a shared commitment to dignity and independence. Whether it’s a familiar face helping with morning routines or a steady presence during a difficult diagnosis, our caregivers show up with skill, patience, and heart.
Patricia King | Founder & Managing Director
Patricia has played a decisive role in creating a vision for comprehensive and personalized senior care services. One of her early clients responded so well to an individualized enhanced program that she began offering it on a regular basis. Her approach was noted in the wider health care community, and she attracted professionals who also wanted to work in this caring manner that takes the whole person and their families into account.
Patricia’s focus is on offering a helping hand to the family while empowering seniors through engagement with art, music, companionship and more. Two decades of experience enable her to focus on what is most important and relevant to her clients.
A graduate of Douglas College’s End of Life Doula program, Patricia offers educated choices and a sense of empowerment and closure to families engaged in the end of life journey. She provides care, support and advocacy for someone who is facing the end of their life.
