One-to-one comparison

BERWICK ON THE PARK

Berwick is the name behind some of BC’s most spectacular retirement home locations, and Berwick on the Park is no exception. Located on a hilltop overlooking Kamloops and the Thompson River, the beauty of the location alone is striking, but it’s really just the starting point for a community that impresses on every level. Seniors find a place to thrive here, surrounded by like-minded peers in a setting that caters to their every need.

SANDALWOOD RETIREMENT RESORT

It’s significant that Sandalwood has both staff and residents who have been here for more than a decade. Drive into the property here, look around, and you’ll see what inspires such loyalty. There’s beauty throughout, ranging from the beautifully landscaped exterior and gardens to the fun lifestyle seniors live here.

My grandma [lived] here 6 or 7 years before she [passed away] at the age of 91. The staff there was really good to her. I remember as a kid I would look at the fish tank in the lobby for hours on end, it was truly a special spot for me. The room that my grandma got was really nice compared to her old apartment. They have a bunch of activities for the seniors to participate in such as bingo. My grandma met some friends there who were all super nice and funny. I miss my grandma a lot but I’m glad that she was put in this wonderful retirement home and lived out the rest of her days happily.

All the get-togethers and the staff are just phenomenal. There’s the gym, the book club, all the different game and card games. We have entertainment that comes in which is wonderful.

We have a pastry chef and our deserts are so delicious. We have an Executive Chef so our meals are prepared fresh everyday. I just have to tell everybody how happy I am because I love it here.

It’s just such a pleasant place to be. It’s like being on a cruise.

I knew it was just what I was looking for. I walked in, had an interview and just fell in love with the place.

My family thinks it’s great that I’m here because I’m being looked after. People that live in these places benefit from the care in every way, the meals, knowing your safe and what not.
