One-to-one comparison

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.

TAPESTRY AT ARBUTUS WALK

Tapestry at Arbutus Walk is an ideal new home for people who love good living and good friends. It's really more like a luxury resort than anything people traditionally associate with a seniors' home. Living here is a unique experience in care and community.

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.

Quiet retirement home. Allows pets. The staff I’ve bumped into are friendly. There is a dog water dish set outside during the summer so that’s a thumbs up from me!

I reached out to Tapestry for a family member and I was so impressed by the help and my experience with their employee Laura Vasquez!

[This] was the best location for my grandmother to live her final years. They were incredibly accommodating, kind, and thoughtful throughout all stages. We will forever be thankful to the staff and residents at Tapestry.
