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.

CHELSEA PARK

Among Vancouver retirement homes, Chelsea Park is a uniquely homey, comfortable environment offering striking value for anyone 55 and older. It’s a boutique-style retirement community, less formal than some other retirement residences, but with much of the vibrancy you’ll find in more expensive communities. With respect to the activities and amenities, you’ll find everything you need to make days complete.

CEDAR SPRINGS PARC

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!

CHELSEA PARK

We are very proud of the Chelsea Park staff and the warm and caring community that they have created in this small spot near Trout Lake Park.

Thanks so much for the care you and your team gave to my mother while at Chelsea Park. I was not expecting such a great experience. We looked at the places that charge double the cost of your facility does so we were expecting to lower our expectations since we could not afford the other places. But much to our surprise you were so much better than we could’ve ever experienced at any other place, simply the best. I think it is because of your genuine care and attention to my mother and all of the other residents under your management. I honestly found that the rest of the staff were very good but somehow you were a shining like that made me feel like I was leaving my mother with a loving family member who really cared about her. You were professional and caring to the maximum degree.

If you want a friendly place, not too formal, this is the greatest place to be. I would never want to go anywhere else. I would recommend this to anyone. I would recommend it to anyone.

You couldn’t ask for any better service than the girls that work in the dining room. The chef is also wonderful. Bus trips to different places are also very enjoyable.

We felt very uncomfortable about moving to the city, but you would never know we are in one. We walk across the street to places we call the ‘People Beach’, the ‘Dog Beach’, and the ‘Duck Bench’ at Trout Lake. At our new home we get lunch & dinner served in the attractive dining room. The staff are very good at remembering what people can and cannot eat. We are very happy here and cannot imagine living anywhere else. We get our suite cleaned once a week. I feel very spoiled. I would advise anyone looking for a place to live, “Come to Chelsea Park you will be very happy.”
