One-to-one comparison

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.

SUMMERHILL PARC

This is an ideal place to move into, if you are an independent senior in Vancouver seeking rejuvenation in a new community of people your own age. Let someone else take care of all the mundane cares (now burdens) of living in your own home. After you look at Summerhill and look at the cost realistically, you'll never want to be anywhere else in Greater Vancouver. As residents here say, there's always something going on.

[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!'

I am so glad I have moved in here and hope to stay for ages. I am spoiled so much, and I love it! Most importantly, I feel safe. Friends, safety, your own place, good food and lots to do if you wish. This is home.

Exercise classes three times a week ... bus excursions ... bingo ... the casino ... Before moving in here, I was alone ... There's simply no time to think about feeling bad or lonely here... Life is great!

It hasn't got the feel of a retirement home at all. My kids tell me I seem very happy [and] I am!! I feel at home here.

I moved here because I wanted to be around people. Now, I'm a very happy soul.
