Berwick is the name behind some of the most beautiful senior living buildings in British Columbia. Royal Oak, just outside of Victoria, is one more example of their finesse in turning senior living into a “Wow! experience.” From the stone construction exterior, to the multiplicity of dining options, to palatial suites, everything about this community speaks to Berwick’s emphasis on creating wonderful living experiences for our elders.
Sherwood House is ideal for active and independent adults who want to live in community with others. If you live in the area, have kids and grandkids near here, you need to look at Sherwood House. If you want to retire to a truly amazing Vancouver Island location (spectacular local scenery!), this is a remarkable find. It's especially ideal for seniors looking for a very happy, social retirement residence in which to settle.
My mom (Joan Power) ... is now currently in the Brio at Royal Oak Berwick. It's a very beautiful facility and incredible staff and care... Thank you to all the wonderful staff, aids and nurses at all three Berwick's she has been in. You all go above and beyond and you are very much appreciated
My Mother in law is here. Great place, staff and care!
Outstanding facilities, gardens, activities, menu, staff and management. Close to shopping malls, Commonwealth Place, public library, forest trails, bus south to downtown, or north to Ferry or Sydney.
Mom moved into her suite at Berwick Royal Oak in June 2021 and she loves living there. She had wanted to move for several years and finally did. She keeps telling me how content she is. The staff are outstanding she says, and I completely agree; the staff go above and beyond. Her suite has everything she needs and the community is bustling with activities and the food is very good. She was lucky to have friends already as residents when she moved in, and she has made many more in the last two months. I have peace of mind knowing she is safe, and mom has peace of mind as well. thank you Berwick Royal Oak!
Nearly three years ago my family and I visited the Berwick to see what it was like. I had been checking out places to call my next home. We all agreed that Berwick was it! During that visit, I found the staff very friendly and I was impressed with all the activities that were offered . I also liked that there was good variety of suites available. My move in 2021 was fairly smooth considering COVID 19. Even with downsizing . I have enough space in my suite for all my furniture and belongings. I am still getting use to having my suite cleaned and vacuumed, my bed made and some laundry done. Every week a bubbly, happy, smiling cleaning lady shows up! I am now truly retired! There are three places for dining and even a Pub for glass of wine or a pint of beer. Also if you want to take food up to your suite, you can go to the Bistro. There are always several choices on the menu. The servers in the dining area are friendly, helpful and kind. They joke and laugh with the residents, treating them like Grandparents or Aunts and Uncles. It is really lovely to see . I suppose if you are a nitpicker, probably could find something not the same as it use to be. But I have seen the staff and residents working hard to keep everyone happy and safe. I am very happy that I made the choice to move to Berwick. It gets a 5 star rating from me.
The staff get to know the residents. They get to know their stories and their lives. There’s a real family [feeling] to it. From the managers to the housekeeping staff to the dining room staff. Everybody there has been, in my experience, consistently caring and kind, and they’ll go out of the way to help. I feel relaxed, knowing that [my dad] is in good care.
In the the three years since our family member moved in (begrudgingly from their private home) — we have never had an issue at Sherwood House and I am fussy. The family member is happy they chose to live in Sherwood House and are very content — and that is top priority. Staff have been professional and responsive in all facets of service and including safety and security. Sherwood House is a relatively small complex which I believe enables them to offer more personalized care and interactions with clients and provide excellent communication with family members. With regard to Covid precautions and protocol — they have been exemplary in their communication and nimbleness to respond accordingly. Thank you for taking care of our family member so well!
I love it here at Sherwood House. I have no regrets at all for moving here. Everyone is really nice and treats you really good. I certainly say you should move in here!
A little more than a year ago, my step-father passed away and my husband and I began the difficult process of helping my mother adjust to a new life. The most challenging part of this journey was helping my mother realize that her home was now too large and remote for her to continue to live there safely. My husband and I were determined to find accommodation for my mother that was safe, friendly and allowed her the independence she so keenly wanted to preserve. It only took us a couple of minutes during our first tour of Sherwood House to realize we had found that place. Managers Bev and Roz Wilson are attentive, understanding and professional: it was clear they had helped many families make this transition and we felt in great hands. We had a few tours, including lunches and dinners in the dining room with the other residents, all of whom were welcoming and happy, and with every visit my mother felt more comfortable. Now a year and a half later, I can say that our first impressions were spot on. All the staff, from the front desk, to the kitchen, to the cleaners, are kind and caring. My mother, homemaker and cook extraordinaire, tells everyone how nice and clean the building is, how delicious the food tastes, and how everyone is so very helpful. A year and a half ago, we worried that she'd never say that about anywhere. Today, although she's begun repeating herself a little more often, every time we hear those words, we are so very glad.
Thank you for making dad's stay with you so enjoyable. He always had many nice things to say and do. We can't say enough about the care, support and true friendliness of all that work and live there. It takes the staff to create that and that will always be remembered.
