SHERWOOD HOUSE

Staff is caring and professional, making everyone truly feel at home...The food is absolutely great, dining room staff are very helpful. I really am blessed to have found this place.

Life is much more relaxed [since moving here]. There are no worries about keeping up the housekeeping and making food. Our family has said that we seem more relaxed and we have more time to visit together. Family loves to come to Sherwood House.

[When we were looking for a retirement residence for my mom] it only took us a couple of minutes during our first tour of Sherwood House to realize we had found [a safe and friendly] place. [Staff] are attentive, understanding and professional: it was clear they had helped many families make this transition and we felt in great hands… with every visit my mother felt more comfortable. Now a year and a half later, I can say that our first impressions were spot on. All the staff, from the front desk, to the kitchen, to the cleaners, are kind and caring. My mother, home maker and cook extraordinaire, tells everyone how nice and clean the building is, how delicious the food tastes, and how everyone is so very helpful.

Life is much better at Sherwood House, the people are so helpful here. I'm just much happier here.

I love it here at Sherwood House. I have no regrets at all for moving here. Everyone is really nice and treats you really good. I certainly say you should move in here.

ARBUTUS RIDGE BY THE SEA

Everything we could ask for: water access, views, a beautifully landscaped community, a 4 star Golf Digest ranked golf course, award winning wineries just down the road...

On days when we wake up to the sun shining on the water, fresh air breezes and the new relaxed life we have come to enjoy, we are reminded that paradise really does exist! What a great way to spend the next chapter of our lives! 

When I travel annually, I never worry about my home. I always know everything is safe and sound. The endless things to do in Arbutus Ridge help me to stay active, healthy and feel youthful.
