OPAL VANCOUVER

OPAL represents an exciting new vision in senior care, offering superior senior living, with an upscale modern design and up-to-the minute technology, in an intergenerational living environment. This building, the flagship of Element Lifestyle Retirement Inc., has excited us here at Comfort Life, since we first heard about it in 2016.

It's a safe feeling of being here, and I feel that I have support.... I can't tell you how much the staff and residents [have meant to me.] The people are there for you. It's a very nice feeling!

My Dad had a health event the next month that did not allow him to live alone anymore. I immediately called Courtyard Gardens. The General Manager, LPNs, and aides worked quickly to accomodate my Dad in a beautiful room. My Dad is now... enjoying the great food and atmosphere of Courtyard Gardens. I am grateful for the compassion and expert care they are providing my Dad.

My father was able to spend 3 wonderful years at Courtyard Gardens. He often said to me that this is the most beautiful place in the world. Excellent food was very important to him. He also really appreciated the all-round support.

This Facility is very clean and comfortable with many amenities. The staff are wonderful caring people. My father in law has been very happy here.

Very comfortable, lots of space, terrific staff, clean, pleasant dining room. We are happy to be here.

I feel so fortunate to have joined the Opal and to be living in this stressfree and most attractive environment! I love the multi-age concept and the diverse culture atmosphere here. The buildings are full of light and delightful art ,a lovely dining room with interesting menu choices, comfortable seating areas to enjoy conversations with interesting residents. Lots of choices of activities to join, makes life interesting! But what is most important to me is the staff and their welcoming, helpful and fun attitude with everyone they deal with ..... I feel very much at home at the Opal.

I was looking for an intergenerational community with Independent Living and licensed care options for my husband, who needs a licensed care suite, and me. I couldn't find a suitable community until my friend Stanley introduced OPAL to me. OPAL Licensed Care suites have 24-hour registered nurses, a team of healthcare aids, a rehab assistant, onsite physicians, recreation assistants, and an onsite dietician. I love OPAL recreation classes like gym, Zumba, Tai Chi, dance expressions, and bus tours. I have my favorites food in OPAL: double-boiled soup, Shanghaiese, and Cantonese food.

I do enjoy the life, the food and all the activities in Opal that's why I put the 5 stars for OPAL. My favorite activities are the exercising events such as dance class and pool. The culinary programs' "food" are the best. I love the Chinese and European style food. Everyday we have different menu that's the best! Every week we have a bus tour for field trip. Opal Recreation take us to many places that I never been before. They are amazing!

OPAL is a good place for seniors. Good food, cleaning weekly, and many activities to join. Air conditioning is a big advantage in this hot weather.

OPAL is definitely a gem. I was looking for a place for my mom who needs 24/7 care in the Vancouver area. I toured all of the top senior communities over three years and none was the right fit. Then came OPAL. I have high expectations on quality of the physical space, service, care and food. Our family members had multiple meals at OPAL with my mom and WOW! The food was as good as top restaurants and presentation, beautiful. I always promised my mom that I would never encourage her to move anywhere that I personally would not stay at. OPAL is a home run in every aspect. My usual lodging is the Shangri La or the Fairmont Pacific Rim when I visit, next time I'll request a hospitality suite at OPAL so I can stay close to my mom and enjoy the lifestyle. The staff, care team members and admin are all incredibly warm and kind. They run the senior community like it's a Four Seasons but better, with more service, amenities and tremendous kindness.
