Caring for a loved one full-time shouldn't come with unpredictable or rising costs. At LivePeace 24/7, our flat-rate senior care plans make it simple and affordable to keep your loved one safe, supported, and comfortable at home — with one consistent, affordable rate and no hourly billing or overtime fees.
Trusted by 100+ families across Greater Vancouver, our flat-rate model covers 24/7 live-in caregivers providing safety, supervision, and companionship, all built around a caregiver-client matching process that pairs every senior with a compatible caregiver based on personality, health needs, language, and daily routine.
For families wanting to understand national and provincial care standards, you can also review the Government of Canada's home and community care information and BC's senior care guidelines.
Flat rate senior care means your family pays one consistent daily, weekly, or monthly price for a complete live-in care plan — instead of being billed hour by hour. The rate is agreed upfront, based on your loved one's actual needs, and it doesn't change because a shift ran long, fell on a weekend, or landed on a holiday.
This is the pricing model behind LivePeace's 24/7 live-in senior care service: a dedicated caregiver lives in the home and provides continuous assistance with morning routines, personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility support, transfers, and nighttime supervision — all for one flat number you know before care begins.

Hourly care may look affordable at first glance, but multiple visits per day, overnight premiums, and weekend surcharges quickly add up. Many agencies charge more for evenings, holidays, and last-minute requests — so a "24/7" hourly plan can become one of the most unpredictable line items in a family's budget.
One consistent price covers the full scope of live-in care:
| Factor | Hourly Home Care | Flat Rate Live-In Care |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | Per hour, often with overnight/weekend premiums | One fixed daily, weekly, or monthly rate |
| Predictability | Bill total varies month to month | Same rate every billing cycle |
| Coverage gaps | Care stops when hours run out | Continuous 24/7 coverage included |
| Overtime/holiday costs | Common premium surcharges | None — the rate is the rate |
| Best for | A few scheduled hours per day | Families needing full-time, round-the-clock support |
Every flat rate plan is a complete live-in care package, built around your loved one's actual needs and routine.
A dedicated caregiver lives in your loved one's home, providing continuous assistance with morning routines, personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility support, transfers, and nighttime supervision.
Caregivers are trained in memory care best practices, building calm routines, managing behavioural changes, and preventing wandering. We pair every dementia client with a consistent, long-term caregiver, since familiar faces reduce anxiety and agitation in seniors with cognitive decline.
The first 72 hours after hospital discharge are the most critical for recovery. We assist with fall prevention, mobility support, safe transfers, personal hygiene, medication reminders, nutritious meal preparation, and transportation to follow-up appointments — often with same-day placement.
Falls and confusion peak at night. Our overnight caregivers provide toileting assistance, fall prevention, repositioning for bedbound clients, and calm reassurance for seniors experiencing sundowning or nighttime anxiety — so the whole household can rest.
For families keeping a loved one comfortable at home, caregivers provide comfort-focused, non-medical palliative support alongside the client's care team. For family caregivers who need a break, respite coverage can step in for a few days or longer, all under the same flat rate.
"I was both physically and mentally exhausted when I turned to LivePeace for help. I had been looking after my wife by myself for fifteen months. I thought I needed four hours of help for five days a week. Once I experienced that help, I asked for twelve hours of help seven days a week. It changed the quality of my life and, more importantly, my wife's life."

What does "flat rate" mean for senior care?
It means you pay one consistent daily, weekly, or monthly price for a complete live-in care plan, instead of being billed for each hour a caregiver works.
Is flat rate care more expensive than hourly care?
Not usually for full-time needs. Hourly billing adds up quickly with overnight, weekend, and holiday premiums; a flat rate consolidates all of that into one predictable number.
How is the flat rate calculated?
It's personalized based on the level of care needed, the number of nighttime awakenings expected, and the specific services required. We provide a transparent quote after a free in-home assessment.
Does the flat rate include overnight care?
Yes. Flat rate live-in plans include 24/7 coverage, including overnight supervision, with no separate overnight billing.
Are there hidden fees with flat rate care?
No. The rate you're quoted is the rate you pay — no overtime charges, no weekend surcharges, no holiday premiums.
Can the flat rate change after care begins?
The rate is based on the care plan agreed upfront. If your loved one's needs change significantly, your care coordinator will discuss any adjustment with you before anything changes.
How quickly can flat rate live-in care start?
Many families have a caregiver in place within days, and care can often begin within 24 to 48 hours after assessment for urgent situations.
Is flat rate care cheaper than a long-term care facility?
For many families, flat rate 24/7 live-in care works out to be more affordable than a long-term care facility, while keeping the senior in their own home.
Does flat rate care work for dementia and Alzheimer's clients?
Yes. Dementia and Alzheimer's support is included under the same flat rate model, with caregivers trained in memory care best practices.
Can I get a flat rate quote without committing?
Yes. We offer a free, no-obligation in-home assessment and provide a transparent quote based on your loved one's specific needs.
Are LivePeace caregivers background checked and insured?
Yes. Every caregiver undergoes a criminal record background check, professional training, and ongoing supervision, and all staff are fully insured.
Can I choose my caregiver under a flat rate plan?
Yes. We select a caregiver based on personality, care needs, language, and cultural background, and you meet and approve the caregiver before care begins.
Does flat rate care cover post-hospital recovery?
Yes. Flat rate plans can include post-operative and hospital discharge support, often with same-day placement.
Is there a minimum commitment for flat rate care?
Live-in arrangements typically run in multi-day blocks; ask your care coordinator about minimums for your specific situation.
What areas do you offer flat rate care in?
Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Langley, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, Victoria, and Nanaimo.
