Winner of multiple building and design awards, Berwick Campbell River has one of the most breathtaking locations we’ve ever seen, overlooking the Strait of Georgia. It’s a special place that, to our minds, immediately leaps onto a short list of the very best retirement communities in all of Canada. For seniors anywhere in the country who’ve been exposed to the beauty of BC and want to retire in “the most beautiful place on earth,” this place is worth taking a closer look at.
Westerleigh PARC is an ideal destination for Canadians and international clients who expect the best in life and want to have an outstanding retirement in one of North America's most sought-after residential areas. You receive excellent care and service in a stunning location. The base price is surprisingly affordable in this market.
I moved into Berwick by the Sea, “Independent Living” facilities in July 2020. This was done after considerable research and number crunching to convince myself that it was do able, considering my pension, my savings and the sale of my Condo in Sask. and the savings of the monthly cost of taxes, utilities and condo fees. After 2 ½ years, I am convinced that I made the right decision. Independent living means I am free to come and go as I wish. I am still living alone but there are always fellow residents close by to chat and socialize with. The best part, everything in provided in the monthly rent including all means, utilities, weekly cleaning and laundry service. It’s like living on a Cruise Ship without being on the water. Granted, the rental costs do increase each year but usually in line with taxes and living costs associated with owning and maintaining one’s own home.
For me moving to Berwick by the Sea was never a consideration. I had always owned my own home and that is what I planned to do when I moved to Campbell River. After I investigated the Berwick advantages, I decided I would try it and now it would be difficult for me to consider making a change. At Berwick I have my meals, my housekeeping, my laundry service and most importantly I have found a building full of new friends I can visit with while enjoying the exercise room, the coffee breaks and the many other advantage of retirement living. Berwick has changed my lifestyle – for the better!
Last year I made the decision to explore senior independent living. I took a tour of Berwick and was impressed with what I saw and could see myself living here. When we discussed the monthly rates I wasn’t sure if I could afford it. I was given a package outlining all that Berwick provided including a form where I could outline my current expenses and compare them with what I would pay at Berwick. Much to my surprise, I found that what I was currently paying was more than what I would pay at Berwick. I have since been able to save money each month. It was certainly the right decision for me.
I moved in July into 1 of the larger 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom suites. I , too, did the math, and the totals were so close! If I had chosen a smaller suite, I’d be saving even more. And there are so many activities going on that I am sure I’m saving money over those as well.
When I came here I had a feeling that fills you with calmness and love. I went back and talked to my family and said, “That’s where I want to be.” And I haven’t been sorry for one day.
The Westerleigh PARC is a fantastic residence with the most friendly and caring staff. I was impressed when my Dad moved in 3 years ago, that all of the staff from cleaning crew all the way up to the Manager knew not only my Dad's name but our families' names from the first day there. Everyone made my Dad so welcome and he developed some wonderful friendships. The food is fantastic as are the other facilities such as the gym, pool table, library and movie theater. The Westerleigh has done such a fantastic job during COVID keeping everyone safe and putting into place a safe family meeting area early on during the epidemic and now they have safe dining areas where family can eat with their loved ones living at the Westerleigh. Also a big thanks to nurse Vickie who goes above and beyond in helping with my Dad and to all of the fantastic servers, chefs, handymen, cleaning staff, reception staff and management. My Dad has really enjoyed his stay at the Westerleigh and it has always been such a pleasure to visit him there. [Google Review, Aug, 2020]
My whole family is thrilled at the quality of care and service being offered to my father in general, but his birthday was particularly heart-warming. We are most grateful to all the staff at Westerleigh PARC.
The staff are excellent here, highly skilled and funny. They bring in the [best] people.
I love the exercise class. We exercise probably six to seven days a week. If it's a beautiful day, we'll go for a walk afterwards.
I love the area. I think it's just one of the nicest places I've ever seen. I can walk down to the seawall. My advice for people moving in here is, pick the people that you enjoy being with and share the same interests with. You just have to listen and join in.
