This lovely community is ideal for a variety of people. The easily accessible golf course is ideal for golf lovers. There's also a ski hill nearby. The community also offers a variety of care to accommodate couples with varying levels of need. Couples where one spouse needs assistance while the other is independent can stay together under one roof.
Boardwalk Properties are cultivating a reputation for excellence with this and other projects in Alberta. Feel confident that they'll continue to grow this into a superb place to live. Award winning renovations elsewhere in the city have turned buildings into luxurious destinations that have blown away tenants’ expectations.
This was the most inviting community for us. It's got a great layout. It feels warm the minute you walk in. There's a big, beautiful kitchen with amazing smells coming out of it. The staff are lovely and kind... It felt like home [right away].
The Lodge at Valley Ridge is very big! The coffee chat, breakfast room, bar, exercise room, library and Chapel are beautiful. My bedroom [has a] very nice kitchen and outside with deck. l love it so much and [am] having a good experience.
The Lodge at Valley Ridge became home for my father after my mother passed in 2016. Before we chose this place, we toured 10 places in NW and SW Calgary and it is difficult to compare as they each have differences in what they have to offer. Together, my dad and I chose the Lodge, as we felt it stood out, and hoped for the best. They continued to impress us with their management, eloquent menu & dining atmosphere, amazing and personable Chef (I never saw a canned vegetable on the menu once and i ate their often with my father), and the dining room staff. The Chef created food and speciality items with ease and i felt like we were dining on a cruise ship. Their buffets on special occasions were remarkable and always packed with extended family joining the residents. There was an air of excitement and enjoyment at special food nights too! The airy classy dining room was always inviting. As my father’s health needs changed I was amazed with the care and assistance the medical team delivered and when we needed home care to become more involved, it appeared to happen seamlessly for my father. The nurse and aid care teams kept in touch with me whenever there was a problem arising or an urgent matter to address. A shout out to Nurse MaryAnne for her excellent communication with myself and my very deaf father; her passion for adhering to nursing protocols that far exceed minimum care made me rest easy at nights. Also a shout out to Ezel (overseeing the nurse team) for handling many phone-calls on behalf of my father when things were becoming more complicated. All this enabled my father to stay much longer than i thought possible for his declining health, which was important to my father. The Lodge had become a home, and all the staff had become extended family. My father was able to stay almost 7 years until the need for long term care was necessary. Thank you to the Manager (Glen) for running a quality home for Independent living, and thank you to the reception staff and maintenance staff for always addressing all the residents concerns (with computers, technical issues, laundry, cleaning, questions). No task was left unaddressed; another form of making the seniors feel cared for. There was very low turnover in the frontline staff over 7 years and I believe this also played a crucial role in the “family” atmosphere for my father. My husband and I both agree, that if a time comes that we need this type of facility for ourselves we would put The Lodge at Valley Ridge at the top of our list. We will continue to spread their good work to all our friends and acquaintances. To all the staff at the Lodge at Valley Ridge please accept our (myself and family members) deepest gratitude for taking care of my father for the last 7 years. He felt well taken care of and also valued by everyone.
The Lodge at Valley Ridge raises the bar with each passing day and sets a new standard in Retirement Residence living. The Lodge team is a strong Alberta Arm for individuals looking to make the change toward Retirement Residence Living. We are so glad to have seen how far the bar in Retirement Residence living can be raised and how high the standard is consistently set at your location on the global map. Beyond 5 Star!
The entire staff at this location is extremely caring. They go out of their way to make one feel comfortable & at home. The services at The Lodge are also top notch. All in all, a satisfying experience.
Although my parents have not moved in yet, the team at Boardwalk’s Calgary Retirement Community have gone above and beyond to provide the information they needed to make a decision that felt right for them. From our first inquiry, to helping us prepare for their move in August 2023, Sushil Singh’s excellent customer service has been amazing and greatly appreciated.
I started looking for a retirement complex in June [and] found Boardwalk Retirement Center's prices are very reasonable, they had some available units and my small dog is welcome. My two daughters and I went for a tour with Tony. He was very friendly, answered all our questions and invited us to stay for lunch on the house. We were very impressed with the menu and the quality of the food. It took awhile to make a decision and Tony is now on holidays. But no problem, because Sushil Singh took over very smoothly. I have gone back and forth changing move in dates and he handled it with understanding and patience. The general attitude of the staff is very friendly, helpful and caring. Some of the tenants we spoke to expressed happy contentment. The park like area next to the building is lovely. I will be a tenant soon and I look forward to it with happiness.
Very polite and courteous in every sense. Sushil was also very professional and informative.
I moved into the Boardwalk retirement apartment almost one month ago and have found the customer service outstanding right from the get go. Tony was my first point of contact and is super friendly, easy to talk to and very informative about this community. Rollan shows a calm and friendly persona every day no matter how busy he can get with multiple tasks and requests he tackles at the same time. Sushil is always ready to greet you with a big smile and is very helpful and quick to answer any questions and concerns that I have had. Whatever concerns or questions, all three of these wonderful gentlemen go above and beyond to help and provide the information required, always smiling, always helpful. Thank you for making this move and transition to the Boardwalk retirement community as smooth as possible 🙏
We recently started looking for a new home for my Dad. We found Boardwalk retirement and I connected with Sushil Singh. We were struck by his professional and friendly manner as we toured the building and apartment and Shushil answered all of our questions in a professional and friendly and courteous manner. The building itself was extremely clean and had great social and dining facilities and there seems to be lots of activities to keep my Dad busy. Sushil walked us through the application process and got us through it quickly and easily and we're looking forward to my Dad living there. I'd definitely recommend Sushil and Boardwalk to anyone that needs to find Senior living.
