We’re Adam and May Adult Family Home, a warm and welcoming adult family home in Vancouver where we really care about the people who live here and the people who work here.
Our home is a great place to work if you enjoy building real relationships, being part of a small team, and making a difference every day. We support residents with needs related to dementia, mental health, and developmental disabilities, so the work here is meaningful, hands-on, and full of purpose.

Here, your work matters, your effort is noticed, and you get the chance to be part of a home where care feels personal. We’re also proud to serve a diverse community, and our home includes multilingual support, which helps us connect with residents and families in a more comfortable and meaningful way.
If you’re looking for a workplace where you can do caring work, be part of a close-knit home setting, and help people feel safe and supported every day, we’d love to have you on our team.
