As the senior population grows across B.C., families are asking tough questions: Is it still safe for my parents or loved ones to live at home? What happens in an emergency? Can we afford round-the-clock care – or risk caregiver burnout?
Vancouver Island Care Staffing (Vic Staffing), was established to help families navigate these questions with compassion, clarity and clinical experience.
The private health-care company was founded by three nurses who saw first-hand the cracks in the system. “We are nurses first,” says Brad L., one of the founders. “We’ve worked in hospitals and long-term care, so we understand the overwhelming real-life challenges families face.”
What began as a service for long-term care sites across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands has evolved into a lifeline for families who want to keep their loved ones safe, comfortable and connected at home.
“Most people want to stay in their own space, but families worry – about falls, loneliness, medication management and more,” Brad says. “Whether they need a little support or more complex care, we feel a free in-home consultation reveals their needs.”
Vic Staffing takes pride in their flexibility, offering everything from companionship and meal prep to overnight care and mobility assistance. They provide the time and consistency clients need – without disrupting routines or independence.
Vic Staffing understands that affordability and the community matter. Supplying their caregivers with monthly bus passes, ensures transportation isn’t a barrier to service – or employment. They’ve also launched a 'companion course' for caregivers with life experience, creating more inclusive pathways into meaningful, hands-on roles.
For families weighing the emotional and financial costs of senior care, Vancouver Island Care Staffing offers peace of mind. Their honest, no-pressure consultations give families a realistic sense of what’s needed – and how to balance safety, support and independence.
