Verdict
Home Instead's Nanaimo office at 327 Prideaux St Unit 14 is verified and exactly matches the posting's mailing address, so the physical address is a real business office rather than a residence. The concerns are that this is an office/administrative role asking for mailed resumes, and that $36.60/hr for an 'administrative assistant' is well above the Nanaimo market: the duty list is really HR-manager-level work packaged under a clerical title, a common wage and title inflation pattern.
