One-to-one comparison

CEDAR SPRINGS PARC

This home is ideal for many reasons but is especially appealing to outdoor enthusiasts who will love the many trails nearby. Many residents who move here find a new or renewed love for exploring; hiking, canoeing and kayaking become new interests. Cedar Springs offers an almost implausible number of attractions.

This is an ideal place to move into, if you are an independent senior in Vancouver seeking rejuvenation in a new community of people your own age. Let someone else take care of all the mundane cares (now burdens) of living in your own home. After you look at Summerhill and look at the cost realistically, you'll never want to be anywhere else in Greater Vancouver. As residents here say, there's always something going on.

My mother moved into Cedar Springs PARC in August 2023. She loved her apartment, it was bright and very quiet. The staff were always very welcoming, helpful and they all knew her by name very quickly. She loved not having to think about meals, just go down to the dining room, sit with friends and enjoy the fantastic food placed before you! Unfortunately, mum passed away in December and again, the team at Cedar Springs were available to support us during this difficult time. I would recommend Cedar Springs PARC to anyone thinking of making the move to retirement living.

My parents moved in July 2021 and what a difference Cedar Springs has made to their lives! They’ve expanded their social circle by attending happy hours and discussion groups, they enjoy at least one excursion a month, and both love the food. Recently they enjoyed a wine tasting and food pairing event - they have a richer social than I do! The staff is always very helpful, understanding and friendly. We always joke that it’s like living on a cruise ship but it really is. They love the quiet, park-like setting of the Mt Seymour area with services and amenities just across the road in Parkgate Village, too. Very happy with Cedar Springs!

My mom called Cedar Springs Parc home for almost 10 years. Last year she passed away. Throughout the entire time living at Cedar Springs, the staff treated her with the utmost kindness and compassion. When the pandemic surfaced, the staff and larger organization were excellent in caring for all the residents, providing clear, well-thought-out communications and working hard to ensure the safety of staff, residents and families. When my mom passed, they were there every step of the way supporting my family with prompt, professional service. The staff and facilities are top notch and I would highly recommend them.

It exceeds all expectations! My Mother was one of the first 11 years ago to reside. Now 98.5 , it probably kept her alive an extra five to eight years. Great people , ambience , staff , management , and nurse. Can not say enough good about Cedar Springs. Outstanding all around!!!! The Best staff and Management - a Big Thank you, our family will miss the special occasion events & the private dining option- we could go on….

[Since moving in, Mom] is much healthier now and having great meals regularly. The structured exercise and activities provide a much healthier environment than she had, living isolated at home. Also, if she wants a social cocktail, she has a lovely communal fireside area where she can sit down, have a glass of wine, and people join her for a friendly chat. She’s playing more bridge than she did at home, and she is going on afternoon walks with friends she has met there. I always look at Cedar Springs as kind of a stationary cruise ship – just without the seasickness! What a break for some of these people who have been working their whole lives, looking after their children and grandchildren. It’s perfect!

Nice retirement place.

I am so glad I have moved in here and hope to stay for ages. I am spoiled so much, and I love it! Most importantly, I feel safe. Friends, safety, your own place, good food and lots to do if you wish. This is home.

Exercise classes three times a week ... bus excursions ... bingo ... the casino ... Before moving in here, I was alone ... There's simply no time to think about feeling bad or lonely here... Life is great!

It hasn't got the feel of a retirement home at all. My kids tell me I seem very happy [and] I am!! I feel at home here.

I moved here because I wanted to be around people. Now, I'm a very happy soul.
