Meet the Vancouver, BC Office

At Senior Helpers of Vancouver, we are committed to providing the compassionate care your loved one needs to age with dignity in the comfort of home. Marika Oba opened the Senior Helpers of Vancouver office in 2024 because she recognized the growing need for a personalized approach to in-home care, an approach that puts the individual first. We provide proprietary training and ongoing education for our care professionals to ensure they stay at the forefront of the industry and can offer the highest possible level of service for our clients. 

It does not have to be complicated to get the right care for your senior. Marika and the entire team at Senior Helpers of Vancouver is here to make it simple to customize your in-home care plan with the services your loved one requires.

Our story is rooted in connection and resilience, with recognition for our shared humanity. 

Though we may all have different needs on our journey through aging, we all deserve support and dignity. Our care solutions are unique to each individual client, and our experienced caregivers are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of seniors and their families.
