    What affects home care pricing in BC?

    Two families asking for senior home care rates in Vancouver can get different quotes. These are the factors that move the price:

    • Level of care. Companionship and light household help cost less per hour than hands-on personal care, and specialized care such as dementia, Parkinson's or palliative support is priced higher because of the added training.
    • Hours and schedule. Flat-rate visits, hourly care, overnight shifts and live-in care are priced differently depending on the length and type of support required.
    • Day and date. Weekend-only bookings carry a 10% surcharge and statutory holidays have their own rates, but clients on a fixed monthly plan skip the weekend surcharge for regularly scheduled visits.
    • Transportation. Rides to appointments and errands are priced by distance, or at a lower escort rate if you arrange your own ride.
    • Location and availability. Final pricing can vary by city and by caregiver availability, which is why every quote is confirmed at a free assessment.

    Paying for private home care

    LivePeace's private-pay home care services are separate from publicly funded home support programs. Eligibility for publicly funded care depends on an assessment and the applicable provincial or health-authority programs, and private care can work alongside it. Some families also use private or extended health insurance, Veterans Affairs Canada support, or ICBC funding for motor vehicle accident recovery.

    For a full guide to government funding, MSP, tax credits and financial assistance in BC, read the home care funding articles in our senior care resources.

    Is home care covered by MSP or government health insurance?

    LivePeace's private-pay home care services are separate from publicly funded home support programs. Eligibility for publicly funded care depends on an assessment and applicable provincial or health-authority programs, and our care can work alongside it. Some clients also use private or extended health insurance, Veterans Affairs Canada support, or ICBC funding for motor vehicle accident recovery.

    Do you charge extra on weekends or statutory holidays?

    A 10% surcharge applies to weekend-only bookings, and statutory holiday rates apply where applicable. Clients on a fixed, ongoing monthly care plan do not pay the weekend surcharge for their regularly scheduled visits.

    Are taxes included in your prices?

    All prices shown exclude applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. Foot care services are GST exempt.

    What is the Wellness Check-In Program?

    A $400–500/month Basic Support package of roughly 12–16 hours, delivered in 30–60 minute visits scheduled around the client's needs. It confirms that a senior, or their home, is doing okay and covers safety checks, light dusting, plant watering and other small household tasks.

    Why are Transportation & Escort rates a range?

    With a LivePeace-provided vehicle the rate is $65–75/hour depending on travel distance, and includes travel time, gas, mileage, pickup and drop-off, and in-appointment support. If you arrange your own ride (HandyDART, Uber/Lyft or taxi), escort and companion support is $32–35/hour.

    How accurate is the cost calculator?

    The calculator gives a close approximation based on the services, hours, days and level of care you select. Your final rate is confirmed during a free, no-obligation care assessment.

    Is there a minimum number of hours per booking?

    Minimum hours can apply depending on the type of care required. For example, dementia care visits typically run a minimum of 4 hours. Your care coordinator confirms the right minimum for your situation.

    Can I change my schedule or switch caregivers?

    Yes. Your care plan can be adjusted at any time as needs change, with support from your care coordinator. If a caregiver isn't the right fit, we will rematch you at no extra cost.

    What if I need to cancel or reschedule a visit?

    Contact your care coordinator with as much notice as possible. For Transportation & Escort, please give 7 days' notice for any shift change, cancellation or termination of service; late cancellations are billed at 100% of the scheduled shift.

    How are your caregivers screened?

    Every caregiver completes a vulnerable-sector criminal record check and reference checks, and holds the certifications required for their role, before being matched with a client.

    How quickly can care start?

    In many cases care can begin within 24–48 hours of your initial assessment. For urgent situations we do our best to arrange support sooner.

    Do you offer ICBC-funded home care?

    Yes. We provide home care for clients recovering from a motor vehicle accident once services are approved by ICBC. See our ICBC-funded home care page.
