Visit in the summer and you'll be very impressed by the outdoor patio. Courtyard Gardens lives up to its name with pleasant floral arrangements spread around the exterior. But, as Canadians, we know that you are going to have to spend time indoors during the year, too. Inside, there are resident art classes, movie nights, exercise programs and more. Take care of yourself better than you ever have before thanks to the in-house spa and beauty salon, and there are also scheduled outings for sopping and fun shared activities like golfing. The only thing that there is little of, here, is house cleaning, cooking and putting away dishes.

Hawthorn Park Retirement Community
Hawthorn Park is at the top of the list of retirement homes in Kelowna proper. A number of things about this community make it outstanding: the personalization of each suite, fantastic features inside and out, and its care for dementia sufferers. The suites here are some of the most reasonably priced we have seen for a community of this quality.
When the time comes and you know you have to move, Hawthorn Park allows you to create a new life for yourself, to start over from where you are. You'll find great new friendships with people your own age. There's always just enough to do, no matter who you are or what you like: card games on the patio, yoga classes, or just a chat over coffee. The community is especially nicely decorated throughout -- just one more aspect that facilitates happiness of residents.

The Heritage
The Heritage is the destination for West Kelowna seniors and families looking for the finest senior care environment. It's an exceptionally beautiful community, featuring wood grain floors, carpeted stairways, elegantly spacious dining areas and brightly lit suites. It's well-known that living in a better environment improves your overall wellbeing, and seniors who move into this community find revitalization, an improved outlook, and increased strength.
Staff is very comfortable answering questions you have as you tour here, and when you compare this to other communities in the area you will find this one outstanding in terms of the quality of the facilities and the attentiveness of care workers and others. Just one example of the way these facilities supersede many others in the area is the heated indoor swimming pool. On top of that, there's exquisite food service, in-house yoga classes, a hair salon and a long list of other amenities that make this a place any senior or family member in the area needs to investigate.

Gilmore Gardens
This brightly lit, homey Richmond retirement community offers a welcoming environment that gives new energy to the seniors who make this their new home. This is a Verve community, with that company's distinct take on combining exceptional environments with detailed care, in a vision that's intent on helping people live every moment to its fullest – no matter what your age.

Granville Gardens
This is another exceptional senior care community from Verve, a company that brings more than 40 years' experience to every property they offer. Granville Gardens exhibits Verve's penchant for creating a variety of welcoming spaces throughout the community. We particularly love the main foyer, which is spacious and immediately presents different settings where you can take a quiet moment by yourself and look forward to times in the future when you will sit with friends to enjoy a chat. There's a capacious dining room with tables spread generously around the room, featuring daffodil-coloured carpeting. Seniors' rooms are bright, spacious and comfortable.
The best thing about Granville Gardens is the care you'll find here. Having regular, chef-prepared meals offered daily is just the start of the life enhancement you'll take part in here. The group activities – including games, exercise, outings and in-house entertainment make life as sociable as you want it. There's round the clock watchful security provided by professional staff. Staff has been characterized by one family member as "a wonderful, caring group who [has] patiently held our hands" through the decision process.

The Concorde Retirement Residence
Penticton, BC residents have an elite quality retirement destination in the Concorde. People seeking supportive services, get assistance with dignity, here. But you also get so much more than care. Every community is shaped by individual involvement and personal attitudes. By optimizing every individual's personal wellness and happiness, the Concorde creates and daily renews a uniquely happy community. Community staff are focused on offering vibrant social outlets and creating fulfilling days for residents in their care.
While there are social outlets, life at the Concorde is, as one family member has put it, "perfect" as is. Fine dining here uses locally sourced food in meals crafted expertly. Then this is presented to you in a spacious, comfortable setting where you sit with good friends. You can also gather in the café. There's even a hair salon where ladies can get their hair done weekly if they want. This is top shelf senior living right in the Okanagan Valley!

Thornebridge Gardens
Thornebridge Gardens in downtown New Westminster is the place to go for seniors who want to continue all the best things in life while leaving behind cooking, taking out the garbage, cutting the grass and other pesky household tasks you'd rather do without. Thornebridge's independent living lifestyle encourages renewal through a lifestyle focusing on the things you want to do.
In the décor throughout this community there's an emphasis on coziness. The dining room features four chairs per table, creating intimate conversations over dinner. This coziness and closeness is also seen in the Social House Pub and the fireplace lounge. That coziness translates well for the activities going on here, too, which – depending on the time of day – may include people taking an art class, small groups in Bible study or people chatting over a cold beer in the pub. On the exterior, there's a wonderfully sunny patio populated with bright flowers in the summer. Seniors also keep their own private gardens on their balcony or in the courtyard.

Oceana PARC
PARC Retirement Living continues to boost its reputation for providing superior senior living throughout Greater Vancouver. They already offer several stellar retirement homes that rejuvenate lives. This community, just opening, promises to continue PARC’s redefinition of great living in our senior years.
Oceana PARC might be their most impressive work to date, if only for the location, a short few blocks from the shoreline, with clear views of Semiahmoo Bay. A noteworthy aspect of the interior here is the use of a bolder colour palette, with lots of deep blues most noticeably, to match the name and ethos of the community.
