About Classic LifeCare
From a Family Business to a Community
Fueled by Family, Driven by Dedication
Classic LifeCare is a family-run agency that has been leading the way in home care since 1974. That’s 50 years of the best home care experience. Founded by nurse Janet Sherwood, Classic LifeCare began in the family home with a primary focus on high-quality care delivery and client satisfaction.
Classic has evolved through cultural shifts and enormous innovations in home care, but the Classic LifeCare of today stays true to its core values of exceptional service and safety. We offer home care services in Vancouver & the Lower Mainland, Comox, Prince George, and Calgary.
In 1997, John Sherwood, the son of Classic LifeCare founder Janet Sherwood, took over the business operations when his mother became ill. For the last three decades, John has been at the helm of Classic LifeCare, leading alongside dedicated long-term employees.
“With so many dedicated and long-term employees, Classic LifeCare’s story is not just about our family. Many have shared this journey or have been touched by Classic. It’s gone from a small family business to a long-term community, of which I’m now just a part.”
– John Sherwood, Owner & CEO
