One-to-one comparison

ARBOURSIDE COURT

This retirement residence is ideal for seniors who want to live close to family in Surrey and who want to enjoy delightful senior living. Many families who move their parents and grandparents here express delight at the quality of the facilities ("like being on a cruise ship") and the caring staff ("all warm and so caring!")

There are a number of things about this community that make it easy to move here. There's the encouragement to personalize your suite with effects from your home. Another is the warmth of staff, who create a strong sense of kinship and community. Here, community includes not just every senior, but staff and family of residents. Adult children love how they are included in all important discussions.

Thank you Arbourside for everything. Everyone there is so kind and caring. Manager Tania Miller is a gem!

My mom was at Arbourside for just over 3 years and she loved it! Truly an exceptional place - the staff and services provided are amazing. They make you feel like family; service is above and beyond. They truly care, looking out for the residents and always make you feel welcome and loved.

My lovely Aunt lived at Arbourside for 8 years. She made great friends, participated in the many activities and was well taken care of. The staff were all very caring and excellent. They were so kind to me when she passed and I have visited on several occasions since and always enjoy being there. Many fond memories.

My Mom was in need of independence and a place to call her own, while still being allowed to care for her cats and be in close proximity to stores, services, and her family. We found Arbourside and was instantly drawn to the warmth of the Management (Tania and Ross) and the residents. The activities and support services are wonderful and the one-on-one care that the staff have towards the residents is really appreciated. In these difficult times with every changing rules and guidelines, Arbourside has done a great job in communicating the latest protocols and keeping the residents safe. We are happy with our decision to have my mother here and would recommend this retirement community for you or your loved ones.

There're so many things that they do so well. The primary thing for me with Arbourside is the staff [who are] absolutely phenomenal. They all seem to go above and beyond what one might expect to be happening. They have great patience with my mum [who is] 101. They're fabulous! They care for everybody. It feels more like they're a big family than they're staff. So I appreciate that immensely. It's fantastic. There's always something to do and it's really a great community and great camaraderie. The social aspect of it is fantastic. My mom has the sense of security [and] she's not alone... and there's always somebody there. That [sense] is the same for me as well, that if when I'm working or I'm away, I don't have to worry about her because I know her meals are being taken care of, her cleaning is being taken care of. Most importantly for me is that she has that social interaction that there's always somebody there.

My 100 year old mom from Calgary wanted to see her sister-in-law Alice S. as they haven’t seen each other for many years. The staff made us so welcome and the accommodations are so beautiful, I had a hard time leaving! Thank you all for making our stay so wonderful! It meant the world to us! Oh! And the food! Just incredible!

My mom is a very young 93, and she loves the youth connection at Thornebridge. She’s gained new friendships among the youth ambassador program there… You can have as much social life there as you want. For people who like having a big group of friends like my mom, she’s been able to take advantage of the knitting and the bridge clubs, movie nights. One of her favourite things this year is that she has started a gardening club. She’s made some really great friendships there. We’ve been so grateful that she’s so well looked after… [It’s] a place that gives [seniors] what they need.

My mother has lived at Thornebridge Gardens for 4 years. She wanted to live there, so put her house up for sale, and Thornebridge found her the perfect suite. Being almost 92, she is needing more help these days, and the staff are very helpful. Although she does pay extra for the help, help is there. The staff are very patient as well, and handle [her] well.

My mother moved to the Thornebridge in July 2015 because she thought she would need extra care as she approached 97. Her suite is well appointed and more spacious than in the retirement residence she was leaving. She is more active here than ever as the activities are varied and well attended. Mother likes to be around people and is finding the residents to be very friendly. The staff are very accommodating, always willing to do that extra that makes living here so enjoyable. The residence and grounds are well maintained and any issues have been quickly dealt with. The Thornbridge is the 4th residence my mother has lived in and she finds that last is sometimes the best.

What can I tell you about Thornebridge? Well, as you arrive you see a very attractive building in a park like setting. Friendly Benches at the front entrance for visiting or waiting for pick up. A patio where summer barbecues are held is also a nice spot to sit & enjoy the flowers. An easy paved walk around the building, a short walk to uptown New Westminster for shopping. A nicely appointed interior holds a library, an all purpose room for various activities & entertainment so one can be quite busy--or spend quiet time in your suite. Our staff are amazing, they know everyone by name, are friendly, gracious, caring & capable. Servers in the dining room soon get to know your likes or dislikes, our excellent chef creates a wide variety of yummy meals attractively presented & regularly holds a meeting where residents can voice their opinions & suggestions. A pleasant, safe environment for our retirement years.
