Private Home Care · Vancouver
Alder Living offers private, considered care for those who have lived remarkable lives — and intend to keep doing so. By referral, by appointment, by design.
Begin a ConversationThe Name
The alder is among the first to take root after the forest awakens. Quietly, it nourishes the soil for everything that follows.
Its wood — prized for its warmth and resilience — has been used for centuries to build the things meant to last. Cradles. Chairs. Instruments. The objects that hold a life.
Our name is our compass. We are here to support, to enrich, and to make the later chapters of a life as considered as any that came before.
The Care
Every household is its own. Care begins with listening — and is built around the rhythm you already know.
i. Essential
For days that benefit from a quiet, capable presence.
ii. Considered
For lives that ask for more, without losing their pace.
iii. Concierge
For households that require the fullest expression of our care.
A life well lived deserves to be
well kept.
— Our promise
More Than Care
Care is the foundation. What rises above it is a way of living — curated, connected, and quietly extraordinary.
— 01
Private dinners, in-home performances, salon evenings. The cultural life of a city, brought to a familiar room.
— 02
A discreet network of members and their families. Introductions are made carefully. Conversations are kept in confidence.
— 03
Theatre, gallery, concert, garden — by arrangement. Always with a known and trusted companion at your side.
— 04
Programs that bring grandchildren close. The pleasures of family, made simpler to share.
Our Principles
— i
Our people are paid well, trained deeply, and given the time to do the work properly. The relationship is the service. We protect both.
— ii
Names are not shared. Households are not discussed. Discretion is not a policy — it is the precondition of trust.
— iii
We do not bill by the visit or measure our worth in hours. We hold a household. The shape of that holding is yours to define.
— iv
A home is not a facility. We arrive quietly, leave it better than we found it, and respect the rhythms that make it yours.
— v
The adult child carries quiet weight. We share thoughtful updates, anticipate questions, and lighten what was never meant to be carried alone.
— vi
Later life is not a problem to be managed. It is a chapter to be lived. We are here to make it as well-considered as any that came before.
Begin
Care is personal. Before we recommend anything, we listen — to you, to your family, and to the rhythm of the home in question.
Conversations take place in person, by appointment. There is no obligation, only the chance to determine whether we are the right people for the work.
