How we see Berwick Parksville

Berwick Retirement Communities is run by Gordon Denford and son Chris, visionaries who set out to up the standards for senior living and have succeeded very well with six other beautiful communities elsewhere on Vancouver Island, along with one in Kamloops. Parksville Berwick builds on that experience and tradition and takes things to a new level in Canada’s “retirement capital.” There are many exciting things to highlight and talk about here.

The exterior of Berwick Parksville itself is very contemporary, a design inspired by white sandy beaches. It also features copious outdoor space and a coffee shop nearby. The waters of the Strait of Georgia are visible straight down Weld Street.

Inside, though, you’ll find a lively community. Seniors here tend to be a little younger than usual. There’s something for everyone here, ranging from an art studio⁠—where residents can explore painting, clay or beading⁠—to a putting green. The indoor theatre is very large, complete with a stage and a green room. It helps the community extend well beyond the walls of the building. There are performances from local schools, speakers, and musicians.

People here treat this not as anything like a closing chapter but more as a new beginning. The lifestyle apparent here really brings senior living to a whole new level of luxury and lifestyle. The dining, too, is exceptional. There are no set dining times, so people can eat at their leisure. Fare is prepared by Red Seal executive chefs. It’s like a cruise ship on land⁠—minus the seasickness.

Finally, two things make Berwick Parksville truly great. One is the sixth floor rooftop patio, with 360-degree views of the ocean, the mountains and downtown Parksville. The other is the staff here who very obviously love people, and love to make a difference.

On behalf of our entire team at Berwick Parksville, I invite you and your family to visit us in Parksville and to call on us for support and resources during this time of change. I am privileged to be part of this beautiful, seaside community and hope to make your visit enjoyable and meaningful. As advocates and counselors for seniors, we believe that by learning about their lives and interests, and helping them articulate their needs and wants, we can truly facilitate the transition from a situation that is not quite working anymore, whether to our community or elsewhere. In the event that one of these amazing people decides to call Berwick their home, we are then able to welcome them in a way that says, “This is home.” 

Berwick is absolutely committed to the safety of all residents and employees and monitors the COVID-19 situation with vigilance. We have taken the necessary steps to ensure our entire team is well-trained and has been proactively implementing provincial government health-and-safety protocols, while also providing both health and social supports to the residents and employees of Berwick. To keep our communities COVID-19 free, no stone has been left unturned. We have multiple layers of safety protocols and infrastructure in place to protect seniors and employees including enhanced and increased sanitization stations, mandatory face masks for employees, active pre-screening for visitors, amenities retrofitted with plexiglass barriers where appropriate. Berwick remains committed to creating safe, vibrant, independent, and healthy communities for residents.
