    Real Story: Cancer Recovery in Port Moody

    Maria, a 62-year-old woman from Port Moody, was recovering from breast cancer surgery and feeling overwhelmed during chemotherapy. Her daughter worked full-time and couldn’t always be there. Just Like Family Home Care stepped in with daily care visits—helping with meals, personal care, and transportation to oncology appointments. Maria felt supported, and her daughter could focus on being present emotionally, rather than burning out.
