The North Shore’s Original Home Care Company

APPRECIATION MONTH

Shylo Home Healthcare is a North Shore success story

The founder, Betty Brown, a nurse from West Vancouver, recognised the need for inhome care back in the 1970s when there was no government home support program or private Home Care agencies, so she formed Shylo Nursing Services Her original group of about a dozen RNs started serving clients on The North Shore but quickly grew to serve clients all over the Lower Mainland

Margot Ware initially contacted Shylo to help support her mother who was battling terminal cancer, and later her ageing grandfather Margot was fortunate to grow up in a multigenerational family in West Vancouver with her mother and grandmother being RNs and her grandfather a renown Canadian surgeon Dr W G. Cosbie MD, OBGYN, FRCPC, RCP, LLD who was integral in the formation of the Canadian Cancer Society

Margot grew up seeing her grandparents age gracefully and pass peacefully in their own beds—this obviously had an effect on Margot’s vocational aspirations

Margot was pleased to join the company that had supported her family for many years and work her way from a Companion in 1985 to buying the company as a Geriatric Specialist RN in 1998 where she proudly continues offering quality care to the citizens in our community and managed by a local RN and offers clients a complementary intake assessment with one of our Geriatric Nurse Specialists. Our RNs visit our clients regularly to assess their evolving healthcare needs and are available 24-7 for support by phone for both our clients and caregivers all a complementary part of Shylo’s service

It is our honour and privilege to be trusted to care for you and your loved ones

As we often say at Shylo,“If you ’ re going to be in the nursing care business, we believe you really should be a nurse ”

Shylo continues to be the only Home Care agency that is owned
