Hero Home Care

What Hero Home Care does

Hero Home Care is a privately held Canadian in-home senior care provider headquartered in North Vancouver, British Columbia, founded approximately 20 years ago by Co-Founder and Co-CEO Danny Birch. The company was created in response to a personal family experience with inconsistent caregiver quality and is structured around clinical accountability, caregiver consistency, and outcome-oriented care delivery. It serves seniors and their families across 8 British Columbia markets — Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Abbotsford, and Langley — and reports having served over 3,000 customers cumulatively.

The service portfolio comprises 7 Core Services (Companionship Care, Personal Care, Nursing Care, Cooking & Meal Support, Homemaking, Transportation for Seniors, and Medication Management) and 8 specialized Care Journeys (Dementia & Alzheimer's, Hospital Discharge Support, Respite Care, Round-the-Clock Care, Health Navigation, Recovery & Rehabilitation, End-of-Life Care, and Thriving at Home). Care delivery is overseen by Nurse Care Managers who design and adjust personalized Care Plans, with a values-aligned hiring process and industry-leading caregiver compensation intended to drive retention and stable caregiving teams. The company also operates a Family Room client portal powered by the third-party ClearCare Online platform for schedule visibility and caregiver communication.

Revenue is generated through private-pay, usage-based hourly billing within the mid-range of the industry $35–$75/hour band. GTM is sales-led: customers reach out via phone (1-888-988-9913) or web form, and a local Care Manager conducts a free in-home Care Consult. Supplemental channels include content marketing, SEO, Google Reviews, hospital/healthcare professional referrals, and partnerships with Vancouver Coastal Health, Veterans Affairs Canada, WorkSafe BC, ICBC, Community Living BC, safeCare BC, BCCPA, Squamish Nations, and Care2Talk Health. Headcount sits at 51–100 employees.
