It’s significant that Sandalwood has both staff and residents who have been here for more than a decade. Drive into the property here, look around, and you’ll see what inspires such loyalty. There’s beauty throughout, ranging from the beautifully landscaped exterior and gardens to the fun lifestyle seniors live here.
Orchard Gardens offers Kelowna and Okanagan Valley seniors a comfortable, affordable senior living solution in a home created with them in mind. Part of VRS Communities Society, this location also focuses on an enriched lifestyle that gives seniors and families real value for their money. Residents here share that they enjoy the company of both staff and other seniors with whom they find many things in common.
All the get-togethers and the staff are just phenomenal. There’s the gym, the book club, all the different game and card games. We have entertainment that comes in which is wonderful.
We have a pastry chef and our deserts are so delicious. We have an Executive Chef so our meals are prepared fresh everyday. I just have to tell everybody how happy I am because I love it here.
It’s just such a pleasant place to be. It’s like being on a cruise.
I knew it was just what I was looking for. I walked in, had an interview and just fell in love with the place.
My family thinks it’s great that I’m here because I’m being looked after. People that live in these places benefit from the care in every way, the meals, knowing your safe and what not.
My Dad is really happy there. All of the staff are helpful, kind and accommodating. The residents are very friendly and welcoming. He enjoys the delicious meals and the activities.
What a wonderful community and home we've found for our Dad! The staff have been so caring and accommodating and as per my Dad, the food has been excellent. His apartment is quiet and perfectly sized and the grounds are just beautiful. But what takes a place and makes it a home is the warmth and good feeling you get when you come in. You feel that at Orchard Gardens. It feels alive with happy staff and happy residents mingling and socializing. We can't begin to describe the positive effect it's had on our Dad and how much younger and happier he seems. Our biggest regret is not moving him here sooner.
I have lived [here] for 2.5 years. I love my suite; it is comfortable, quiet and secure. I also enjoy the large library and Beauty Salon. The management and staff are of a top caliber and put their hearts into their work.
The atmosphere of Fernbrae is different from every old folks home I’ve been to. Everyone there, residents and staff, are very welcoming and they all seem to care deeply about one another. From what I’ve seen, the staff goes above and beyond to put effort into helping with any problems the residents have. :D
Orchard Gardens is a very special place to reside. Our meals are lovely and are served in an elegant dining room. Orchard has so many choices for entertainment that I never tire for things to do. I love the beautiful grounds full of different variety of colorful flowers. There is fun to be had at Orchard Gardens and above all kindness and understanding for those that live in our community.
