This still-very-new community brings Tapestry’s brand of world class senior care to Victoria in a beautiful new setting, the harbourfront area just blocks away from verdant Beacon Hill Park. While the location itself is cause to consider a move, the life here promises to be fulfilling in a much deeper sense. Not only are you close to natural beauty along with bountiful urban convenience, you’ll also find great support by staff.
Sherwood House is ideal for active and independent adults who want to live in community with others. If you live in the area, have kids and grandkids near here, you need to look at Sherwood House. If you want to retire to a truly amazing Vancouver Island location (spectacular local scenery!), this is a remarkable find. It's especially ideal for seniors looking for a very happy, social retirement residence in which to settle.
Tapestry is truly a 65+ community that I haven't seen before. There are regular fun events and activities organized by friendly staff, an excellent restaurant and a bright inviting common area. Honestly, I really can't get over how great their food was, the halibut burger and salmon nicoise salad were amazing and reasonably priced. If the restaurant were available to the public it would be one of the best in Victoria.
When the move happened they were a huge help. Quite a few people here have gone through [being widowed], and everybody freely talks about that and that helps make it really simple to transition. It’s probably one of the best moves I’ve ever made…All the people are great. Move in and you’ll make lots of friends.
We have been looking for a place for my Mother, who in the past has been very active and social, however since my father passed, she has been struggling to find her new self. I found out about Tapestry through a friend and I decided to book a tour. Prior to the tour my Mother had concerns about being in a retirement community because in her day, all the residents did was sit around and play cards. I am thrilled to say, that is not the case at Tapestry! When we entered the lobby, we were very impressed with the décor and the greeting we received. The sales manager showed us the suites and also gave us the full run down on activities and let us know that there is a never ending calendar of events. We were delighted to find seniors in her age group, that are looking to be active, socialize and get the best out of life.
The staff get to know the residents. They get to know their stories and their lives. There’s a real family [feeling] to it. From the managers to the housekeeping staff to the dining room staff. Everybody there has been, in my experience, consistently caring and kind, and they’ll go out of the way to help. I feel relaxed, knowing that [my dad] is in good care.
In the the three years since our family member moved in (begrudgingly from their private home) — we have never had an issue at Sherwood House and I am fussy. The family member is happy they chose to live in Sherwood House and are very content — and that is top priority. Staff have been professional and responsive in all facets of service and including safety and security. Sherwood House is a relatively small complex which I believe enables them to offer more personalized care and interactions with clients and provide excellent communication with family members. With regard to Covid precautions and protocol — they have been exemplary in their communication and nimbleness to respond accordingly. Thank you for taking care of our family member so well!
I love it here at Sherwood House. I have no regrets at all for moving here. Everyone is really nice and treats you really good. I certainly say you should move in here!
A little more than a year ago, my step-father passed away and my husband and I began the difficult process of helping my mother adjust to a new life. The most challenging part of this journey was helping my mother realize that her home was now too large and remote for her to continue to live there safely. My husband and I were determined to find accommodation for my mother that was safe, friendly and allowed her the independence she so keenly wanted to preserve. It only took us a couple of minutes during our first tour of Sherwood House to realize we had found that place. Managers Bev and Roz Wilson are attentive, understanding and professional: it was clear they had helped many families make this transition and we felt in great hands. We had a few tours, including lunches and dinners in the dining room with the other residents, all of whom were welcoming and happy, and with every visit my mother felt more comfortable. Now a year and a half later, I can say that our first impressions were spot on. All the staff, from the front desk, to the kitchen, to the cleaners, are kind and caring. My mother, homemaker and cook extraordinaire, tells everyone how nice and clean the building is, how delicious the food tastes, and how everyone is so very helpful. A year and a half ago, we worried that she'd never say that about anywhere. Today, although she's begun repeating herself a little more often, every time we hear those words, we are so very glad.
Thank you for making dad's stay with you so enjoyable. He always had many nice things to say and do. We can't say enough about the care, support and true friendliness of all that work and live there. It takes the staff to create that and that will always be remembered.
