Our Perspective

How we see Shannon Oaks - Vancouver

Older Vancouverites will find a bright, welcoming retirement home in South Vancouver’s Shannon Oaks. Those who are currently living alone in a place that’s no longer suited to them will find this is an especially ideal place to live. You’ll discover friendly, kind people your own age, served by exceptionally helpful staff in a setting that’s wonderfully comfy and homey. It’s ideally suited to seniors, built and run with their needs in mind.

Pull up to Shannon Oaks and the impressive stone-and-wood exterior will immediately invite you to take a closer look. We love the bright lobby, naturally lit by floor-to-ceiling windows, and accented by colourful carpeting. As you look around, you’ll recognize an attention to detail that speaks to a desire to create a lovely home for seniors. It feels like a luxury hotel, but for the fact that people you see are so obviously at home here.

You’ll meet a number of people who have lived in this community for five, ten years or longer. There are some obvious reasons why they love it here. Staff provide loving care, and are well-trained and experienced in accommodating the needs of seniors. Dining is excellent, with the dining room carrying over the elegance of the rest of the interior.

There are many other noteworthy features at Shannon Oaks, including exceptionally spacious, well-appointed suites that are accessible and kept immaculate by cleaning staff. You’re free to bring your own furniture, personalizing the space as much as you see fit. That said, people don’t want to spend a lot of time in their apartments. There’s a variety of activities and amenities right here that will let you fill your day with fun and socializing, including a lively games room, exercise space, library, and more.

Joe Meier, family member

"It has a feeling of home, or maybe even better than home... It's like a cruise ship on land and there's just all the facilities. [Mom] doesn't have to worry about her meals. My mom doesn't drive, so [before] that was just something that was very difficult. All her shopping is taken care of for her now. And it's got a lovely inner courtyard.

"My sister has lived at Shannon Oaks since September of 2014. She has been very happy there and I have found the staff and administration very kind, considerate and competent in all of their interactions with her and me, I am her main support system and I do not live in Vancouver so it is a huge relief to know that she is safe and cared for. It is a beautiful facility and the residents are friendly, helpful and from my observation live their life adhering to their Christian values in terms of how..."
