Berwick Retirement creates some of the most beautiful communities in BC, many at some of the most attractive waterfront locations in the province. There’s something to be said for the revitalization value of living in a location like Berwick on the Lake. It really does “impress on every level” and we’re hard-pressed to isolate factors to highlight, but the location, care, and dining here are certainly a few.
This shoreline oasis is the ideal place for senior Vancouverites who expect the best. Basic costs are well within reason, when you consider all that Tapestry at Wesbrook Village has to offer. Care is available if needed, and people here find joy in the rejuvenating environment. This place is, as advertised, truly extraordinary.
The food is really wonderful. We have two choices everyday for both lunch and dinner. There’s a pub which is a little less formal. And the bistro is a third eating area, where you can ‘help yourself.’
I wanted to come here because I had back and leg problems. Standing up to prepare meals was hard. We were eating more prepared meals and that sort of thing. I like not having to think about what we’re having, then to stand up and prepare it. It was a big enough job to cook for the two of us, without others, but now, we sit with new people every night. And we love to hear about their lives. Some people here we’ve gotten quite close to.
My mother has lived at Berwick for a year. It is a gorgeous facility located on a picturesque lake. Unlike other Senior facilities, that have a very contrived, sterile atmosphere, Berwick feels like a classy Inn with a friendly atmosphere. The interior design of Berwick is exceptional. The food is excellent. I especially like the Bistro feature where you can have meals prepared by a chef. They are scrumptious and every bit as good as a high quality restaurant. The staff are friendly and there is a high level of service provided for my mother. I feel that she is "in good hands at Berwick." This is in sharp contrast to other Senior's facilities that she has lived at in Nanaimo where she often waited for close to an hour for assistance with personal needs. A huge to thanks to all the workers at Berwick who make my mom feel welcome, comfortable and cared for.
Would highly recommend Berwick on the Lake for respite care on the Brio Intermediate Care unit. Berwick is a beautiful facility right on the Lake with the most beautiful views, gardens, and the entire facility is lovely! Dining Room staff were great and the food usually was excellent. Brio Unit is filled with very caring and nurturing health care aids and some excellent LPNs. My father had high intensity and complex needs as a palliative and end stage renal failure patient. Having RNs on staff would have been beneficial. Luckily we were able to access the Island Health Palliative Care Team Nurse Coordinators, Palliative Care Drs, Island Health Physio and OT which were a needed addition to my Dad's circle of care. We did hire a private "companion for family care" for night shifts as Dad's condition deteriorated. He needed more care than 1 LPN and health care aid could provide for 37 clients on nights.
Dad was on the Brio Unit for 6 weeks until his passing on Friday. We are very happy that Dad was able to enjoy all that Berwick offered him. The night of his passing in his private room overlooking the calm lake, the gorgeous gardens with family surrounding him with love, music, candles and tears created a very intimate and best environment possible for his death. The staff were so caring, gentle, respectful and compassionate with our beloved Dad and family. Having jugs of ice water, tray of sweets and sandwiches was so appreciated and unexpected while we watched over him in his last hours. Thank you Berwick for your wonderful care and making the loss of our Dad a little easier for all of us.
It was a very hard decision to sell my house [but it was worth it]. I never thought I would be happy….but I’m happier than I ever thought I would be. They facilitate my art, they help me to continue my art. [Teaching] art classes for residents have been a great success. People that have never drawn or painted before have joined the class and are succeeding. It is just marvelous. I love seeing people happy and satisfied – and sometimes even astonished by what they create. Art… I can’t live without it.
An excellent senior centre facility. Its diversified programs and activities and supportive staff provide a happy healthy lifestyle.
The whole environment was a pleasant surprise. It was a wise choice [to come here] to spend this phase of my life. [It] provides my family great peace of mind to know that I am happy and well cared for.
The place is great for seniors. It's a very safe and secure environment to live. It has a lot of activities happening every week for the residents. The building is well built and the restaurant serves really delicious food.
The definition of resort-style retirement living, Berwick on the Lake’s gorgeous, peaceful setting on Long Lake in Nanaimo is perfectly complemented by the superior quality of the amenities and services we provide. This is affordable luxury at its finest, with an abundance of fine features along with 24/7 monitoring & security. Contact us today to arrange a personal tour. We look forward to seeing you.
