One-to-one comparison

THE WEXFORD

Seniors find comfort in the surroundings and joy in the company of both staff and fellow seniors when they move into the Wexford. The warmth of the community makes this a beautiful place to live, notwithstanding the fact that it is indeed a beautifully landscaped, well-appointed retirement community. The always-sunny Tsawwassen weather combined with the quiet, peaceful exterior and interior of the Wexford make community living ideal here.

Great care is found at Gilmore Gardens. The environment here leaves nothing to be desired, certainly, but staff really goes out of their way to cater to residents' needs. When you (or one of your parents) experiences a setback, you want to find the best care that will quickly bring you back to enjoying life to the fullest, surrounded by caring people, great friends and an optimally healthy environment. Staff here combines the qualities of being knowledgeable and personable with a love of fun.

Lots of fun and lots of a delicious food.

My mother lived at The Wexford for a year before moving to full care late October 2019. Her time at The Wexford was an outstanding experience. The staff were caring, knowledgeable and always attentive. She enjoyed a bright, spacious 2 bed apartment that felt like a real home, something very important to mom after living 40 plus years in her previous home. While mom was initially concerned that it would be difficult to adjust, the Wexford management team made her feel exceptionally welcomed and provided a variety of services, an excellent menu as well as socialization opportunities with the friendly residents. Well done Matt and the rest of your team - mom and our entire family will miss you!

We can’t say enough about all the good people here … The social director is a phenomenal woman who gets them engaged in things they wouldn't normally partake in. She can get [my dad] to go dancing, he’s gone bowling … [He takes part in] the fitness group that’s here ...   For me, the advantage of having my dad in place like the Wexford is that I know that he’s in a safe community, he’s well fed, meals are like a cruise ship … Even though I’m not there [all the time] I always know he’s well cared for.

I’m very happy with being here … You can be busy all day, or you can go to your room and close it and be private … It’s freedom and yet you feel secure. ... They know what they’re doing.

My mother has been a resident for over 2 years, she is almost 90. The staff are very kind and considerate. She loves the activities, the exercise classes, the library and the meals. They have been very good with their [COVID-19] response and precautions.

Gilmore Gardens is truly exceptional. My mother has been a resident for over three years. The leadership is outstanding, and this reflects onto all management and staff. I see residents being treated with dignity and respect, in a warm and welcoming family-style community. [What] sets Gilmore Gardens [apart] is the people - friendly, efficient and helpful in all positions and at all levels.

I'm so very grateful for the care my mother received when she was at Gilmore Gardens.

My expectations were exceeded ... It was great to find such excellent assisted living in the city of Richmond ... I highly recommend Gilmore Gardens for anyone looking for a high level of living and senior care for elderly loved ones.

Four stars. Clean suites. All common areas are really neat and tidy.
