SUNNYSIDE MANOR

VRS is driven by a mission to make excellent senior living affordable. That’s manifested in Sunnyside Manor, an intimate, comfortable community with very reasonable fees. It’s a bright, cheerful place to settle into and enjoy life with people your own age, attended to by staff and management with a reputation for responsiveness and considerate care.

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!")

We recently moved our mother into Sunnyside. From the first tour through to now our experience has been nothing but positive. Management and staff are quick to respond and accommodate our requests/needs Staff makes it a friendly and welcoming environment. The building is clean and has a homelike comfortable vibe. We feel Sunnyside is using an abundance of caution when it comes to health and safety keeping mom safe. Update: Our mother has now been here over two years now. We have spent much time there, more in common areas than mom’s suite. We’ve gotten to know all the staff and most residents. You can sum Sunnyside up like this. Sunnyside can be your loved one’s residence, or it can become their community, or it can become family. You get out of it what you want to put in. We love being a part of the Sunnyside family. The manager has a real heart for people and her staff has years of experience.

Mom moved into Sunnyside Manor in November 2019. Shortly after her move, there was a change in management and the noticeable shift that has happened since is quite remarkable. New programs were implemented within the confines of Covid and adjustments were made to make life easier for the residents. Personally this really helped me feel better about mom being there since I live far away and visitation was restricted. Dealing with the shifting restrictions we experienced during 2020 and continue to through 2021, is a testament to the care brought to Sunnyside Manor residents and staff by their management team. The menu has improved significantly! It’s obvious Chef Louise and the kitchen team really care that the residents have delicious and healthy meals and are introducing new food items to keep things interesting and adventurous. A big change. I also appreciate the additional information sessions introduced to the residents on healthcare, new food item introductions, insurance, etc. as well as activities (art and tai chi!) to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing. I feel these sessions help with the residents feeling active and engaged in life. I enjoy seeing photos and updates on the activities on their Facebook page every day! I would recommend Sunnyside Manor to anyone looking for a retirement community for their family member! [They've made] mom's life easier.

I visit a friend here and I must say the quality and care they staff put into the place is amazing. The activities were well planned and the food is really good. Very impressed that the in house chef made food which also caters to dietary restrictions. My friend is very happy here.

Sunnyside Manor has vastly improved under the change in management [in 2021] as evident by the thriving residents and happier staff! Food has improved immensely as they've introduced fresh produce and improved their menu significantly. You can tell the staff really care about the well being of their residents by providing additional informational sessions and activities to improve their health and fitness. Sunnyside also has close ties to Harmony Health and other healthcare providers in the immediate area to provide those with more complex medical needs with the help they deserve, which is a huge bonus. I would recommend anyone looking for a new home to look at Sunnyside Manor. The team there will take care of all your needs.

I was inquiring about a place for my father to live and the staff were very friendly and assisted me greatly. I am very excited to have found this home for my dad.

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.
