Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer's can be overwhelming and exhausting for families. At LivePeace Senior Home Care, we provide specialized in-home Alzheimer's and dementia care for seniors throughout British Columbia — from Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley to Victoria, Nanaimo, and beyond. Our caregivers are trained specifically in dementia support, with care plans built around each person's current stage, daily routine, and comfort at home.
If your loved one is still living at home but struggling with daily tasks, medication management, or personal hygiene, or showing signs of confusion or wandering, in-home dementia care is likely the right next step. It's also the right choice if you, as a family caregiver, are experiencing exhaustion or burnout. Call us for a free assessment and we'll give you an honest recommendation.
Routine is medicine for someone with dementia. The more consistent the schedule, the more secure and calm your loved one feels — and the less behavioural distress your family experiences. Our dementia care visits are structured and unhurried, a minimum of 4 hours per visit, giving enough time to complete a full morning or evening routine without rushing. For more on the distinction between conditions, see our Dementia vs. Alzheimer's guide.
In-home dementia care is specialized, non-medical support delivered by a trained caregiver in the senior's own home, focused on maintaining safety, routine, and dignity for someone living with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or another cause of cognitive decline. Familiarity and consistency are the foundation of quality dementia care, and we honour that in every visit.

Alzheimer's disease progresses through distinct stages, and according to the Alzheimer Society of BC, each stage brings different challenges — and different opportunities for meaningful support. Our care plans adapt as your loved one's needs change, so you never have to start over or find a new provider as the condition progresses.
Support with reminders, routines, and safety awareness while independence is preserved
Structured routines, mobility assistance, and behavioural support for confusion and sundowning
Comfort-focused, hands-on care alongside your medical team — see our palliative care service
Every care plan is personalized, but here is what most of our dementia and Alzheimer's care clients receive during each visit:
Dementia care visits run a minimum of 4 hours, giving caregivers enough time to complete a full morning or evening routine without rushing your loved one.
Trained caregivers patiently manage mood, memory, and behaviour changes, including challenges such as sundowning, using structured, unhurried routines that reduce distress for both the senior and the family.
If your loved one also needs overnight support, our overnight care for seniors is available as a standalone service or in combination with daytime dementia visits, up to full 24/7 live-in coverage.
For families at the late stage, our palliative care at home service provides comfort-focused support that works alongside your medical team, with the same familiar caregiver your loved one already trusts.
Yes. All caregivers assigned to dementia cases receive specialized training before starting, including dementia-specific communication techniques, behaviour management, safety awareness, and wandering prevention. We do not assign untrained caregivers to dementia clients.
Dementia is a growing concern in Canada, with over 700,000 individuals currently affected. Familiar environments and personalized care can make a significant difference in managing symptoms and improving well-being — which is why our caregivers are matched for long-term consistency rather than rotated on a schedule.
"LivePeace Seniors Care provided excellent, reliable, and consistent support for my mother, who lived with mobility issues, dementia, and multiple medical issues. Ricky was organized and provided her caregivers with training and follow-up. The caregivers were warm and understanding. Communication was excellent and highly responsive. I highly recommend the service."
"They go above and beyond the call of duty, ensuring that my dad is happy and comfortable during his day. I highly recommend them to others who are seeking reliable, trustworthy caregivers to look after their loved ones."
— SharonMany families start with daily visits and later add overnight or full 24/7 live-in support as needs increase — you're never locked into one level of care.

Are caregivers trained specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia care?
Yes. All caregivers assigned to dementia cases receive specialized training before starting, including communication techniques, behaviour management, and safety awareness. We do not assign untrained caregivers to dementia clients.
How quickly can dementia care start?
In most cases, care can begin within 3–5 business days after the initial assessment and caregiver matching. For urgent situations, we can fast-track the process and start sooner.
Is Alzheimer's the same as dementia?
No. Dementia is a general term for symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and daily functioning. Alzheimer's disease is one specific disease that causes dementia; other causes include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.
How long is a typical dementia care visit?
Our dementia care visits are structured and unhurried, a minimum of 4 hours per visit, to allow enough time to complete a full morning or evening routine without rushing.
Can care increase as the condition progresses?
Yes. Many families start with daily visits and later add overnight care or full 24/7 live-in support as needs change — your care plan adapts without needing a new provider.
What if my loved one wanders or becomes confused at night?
Overnight and 24/7 live-in care are available as an add-on to daytime dementia visits, specifically to reduce the risks of nighttime wandering and confusion.
Does LivePeace provide dementia care outside Vancouver?
Yes. We serve Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island communities like Victoria and Nanaimo, and beyond.
What does dementia care cost?
Cost depends on the level and frequency of care needed. Ask about our flat rate care plans for predictable monthly pricing.
Can dementia care support someone in the late stages of Alzheimer's?
Yes. For late-stage clients, our palliative care service provides comfort-focused, non-medical support alongside your medical team.
What if my family caregiver is burned out?
In-home dementia care is often the right choice specifically because a family caregiver is exhausted. We also offer standalone respite care for short-term relief.
Will my loved one have the same caregiver every visit?
Yes. Familiarity and consistency are the foundation of quality dementia care, so we prioritize matching one long-term caregiver rather than rotating staff.
Are LivePeace caregivers background checked?
Yes. All caregivers undergo a criminal record background check and reference verification before being placed with a family.
