CEDAR SPRINGS PARC

This home is ideal for many reasons but is especially appealing to outdoor enthusiasts who love the many trails nearby. Many residents who move here find a new or renewed love for exploring; hiking, canoeing and kayaking become new interests. Cedar Springs offers an almost implausible number of attractions. It's a world class retirement destination.

For all of the features onsite, it's the people that make this truly great. Mulberry PARC broadcasts itself as "a welcoming community" and that's truly a focus. The knitting group is just one example of a friendship circle (a "great group of ladies," says one member) within the larger community. Ideal for families from Burnaby and New Westminster, and for seniors who want to be closer to family here, it's a spectacular retirement home experience. Here, it's easy to pursue previous passions or try out new interests.

[Since moving in, Mom] is much healthier now and having great meals regularly. The structured exercise and activities provide a much healthier environment than she had, living isolated at home. Also, if she wants a social cocktail, she has a lovely communal fireside area where she can sit down, have a glass of wine, and people join her for a friendly chat. She’s playing more bridge than she did at home, and she is going on afternoon walks with friends she has met there. I always look at Cedar Springs as kind of a stationary cruise ship – just without the seasickness! What a break for some of these people who have been working their whole lives, looking after their children and grandchildren. It’s perfect!

As a Vancouver Coastal Health employee - I have just appreciated all the extra care and consideration for COVID as my parents move into Cedar Springs - Thank you it is very reassuring. I also have to give a huge "shout out" to Sean Wilkinson and his team - they have made the home transition of two 90 year old people - so incredibly helpful - I have so welcomed forward their "positivity", immediate and timely responsiveness as we work through all the details in some challenging times!

Cedar Springs is truly a welcoming place for anyone contemplating a move to Independent living. The beautiful suites and many services as well as outstanding food makes it one of the best of the facilities of the several facilities we toured in North Vancouver for my parents. We found it to be the best fit for active and independent seniors. We also know that it is people that make a place home and we would not have been able to navigate this journey without the kindness and warm understanding of Sean Wilkinson. He truly made the difference with his informative and yet "no pressure" approach as my parents contemplated this significant transition. We are so grateful to Cedar Springs , especially in these trying COVID times, as they make every effort to assist my parents in settling into their new home safely.

I don't think there is anything that you have missed... I love the fact that dogs and kids are welcome there. I can't tell you what a relief it is for our family to have my mother in a residence that so clearly cares about the comfort, safety and enjoyment of everyone.

I used to live in a nice condo in West Vancouver. But when you're by yourself, you maybe go two or three days before you even see anybody out in the hallway. I thought, there's got to be a better way. Here, it's like Cheers: 'where everybody knows your name!'

We keep very busy here. When people say they're bored, it's because they're not doing anything. Here, there's always something to do.

[Knitting-For-A-Cause, one weekly group] is a wonderful social time ... [some members] would say to me they hadn't knit in years and I decided to change that. It brings them out of their suites and out of their shells. Their disposition improves.

There's lot to do here. I really appreciate the flexibility and freedom here because I've always been very busy in my life.
