One-to-one comparison

THE VILLAGE LANGLEY - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

The Village Langley is a state-of-the-art memory care community, an ideal setting for people dealing with the adverse effects of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. They can live here safely, free to come and go wherever they like within The Village. Family members' worries about tendencies to elopement evaporate. But there's so much more. Residents live a lifestyle that promotes more activity and requires less medication. The environment itself is a holistic treatment.

This retirement residence is ideal for seniors who want to live close to family in Surrey and who want to enjoy delightful senior living. Many families who move their parents and grandparents here express delight at the quality of the facilities ("like being on a cruise ship") and the caring staff ("all warm and so caring!")

The staff and services are AMAZING, especially given the lockdown due to the Pandemic, the residents are truly lucky to make this place their home. So glad we found them for my Mom, I honestly can not think of a better place for her through this time.

My aunt lives there. She has the best care and is super happy.

My aunt was lucky to become one of the first residents here, and I have visited often. This is a truly groundbreaking facility and the staff are as patient and friendly as you'd hope for. I have noted the postings by others who are upset by the cost of living at The Village; asking "who can afford to live here?" and suggesting it is only for the elite. While I could not afford to live here, that is due to my particular circumstances and life choices. My aunt can afford to live here for many years to come, but I want to share her story and show others that living like this is not reserved just for the wealthy. Auntie M. and her family were sent to live in a BC internment camp during the war, when she was just a young girl. She left, barely into her teens; left her family and left school to return to the Lower Mainland to toil as a housekeeper for a wealthy family. She made this sacrifice to send money back to her parents and siblings. Later, after the war ended and everyone moved back to the Lower Mainland, Auntie M. found work in the Steveston cannery. She never completed her schooling; having to still help her parents and siblings and with little education, working in the cannery was what she could do. But, she was wise with her money, saved up, and bought a house. This house and her very dedicated savings are what allows her to enjoy life in the wonderful The Village now and for years to come. I am so happy that this amazing woman, who did hard physical work her whole life, sacrificed her youth and her education, is thriving at The Village due to her own self taught money management efforts. So to those who are affronted and snidely suggest that a community like The Village is an elitist utopian ideal, I suggest otherwise. Yes, it is costly but it is worth every penny for the high quality of care, the beautiful atmosphere and the priceless dignity with which residents are permitted to live. I couldn't recommend it enough!

We couldn't be more happy with the level of specialized dementia care and understanding provided by all the staff at the Village.

Thank you Arbourside for everything. Everyone there is so kind and caring. Manager Tania Miller is a gem!

My mom was at Arbourside for just over 3 years and she loved it! Truly an exceptional place - the staff and services provided are amazing. They make you feel like family; service is above and beyond. They truly care, looking out for the residents and always make you feel welcome and loved.

My lovely Aunt lived at Arbourside for 8 years. She made great friends, participated in the many activities and was well taken care of. The staff were all very caring and excellent. They were so kind to me when she passed and I have visited on several occasions since and always enjoy being there. Many fond memories.

My Mom was in need of independence and a place to call her own, while still being allowed to care for her cats and be in close proximity to stores, services, and her family. We found Arbourside and was instantly drawn to the warmth of the Management (Tania and Ross) and the residents. The activities and support services are wonderful and the one-on-one care that the staff have towards the residents is really appreciated. In these difficult times with every changing rules and guidelines, Arbourside has done a great job in communicating the latest protocols and keeping the residents safe. We are happy with our decision to have my mother here and would recommend this retirement community for you or your loved ones.

There're so many things that they do so well. The primary thing for me with Arbourside is the staff [who are] absolutely phenomenal. They all seem to go above and beyond what one might expect to be happening. They have great patience with my mum [who is] 101. They're fabulous! They care for everybody. It feels more like they're a big family than they're staff. So I appreciate that immensely. It's fantastic. There's always something to do and it's really a great community and great camaraderie. The social aspect of it is fantastic. My mom has the sense of security [and] she's not alone... and there's always somebody there. That [sense] is the same for me as well, that if when I'm working or I'm away, I don't have to worry about her because I know her meals are being taken care of, her cleaning is being taken care of. Most importantly for me is that she has that social interaction that there's always somebody there.
