Traveling to home-bound and institutionalized clients fits into our mission statement. Our goal when seeing these clients would be to provide the best care we can. We realize time constriction, positioning, medical conditions, and comfort play an even larger role in mobile care but we are willing to take it on and do our best.

We currently provide services for the Valley Manor and the Water Tower Lodge both located in Barry’s Bay.
