One-to-one comparison

THE WATERFORD

The Waterford is a special place that delivers all the best of contemporary retirement living. Meals are excellent, activities fun and varied. To round it all off, the people that work here and live here are the best. What people find after moving into this community is that they have space to live anew and explore the freedom that comes with retirement living. That freedom (from tiresome daily chores like dishes, housework, and home maintenance) opens up liberty to do more with your day, to make new friends and find out how great community living in a group with your peers can be.

Great care is found at Gilmore Gardens. The environment here leaves nothing to be desired, certainly, but staff really goes out of their way to cater to residents' needs. When you (or one of your parents) experiences a setback, you want to find the best care that will quickly bring you back to enjoying life to the fullest, surrounded by caring people, great friends and an optimally healthy environment. Staff here combines the qualities of being knowledgeable and personable with a love of fun.

The staff is incredible! All of them! The servers, the recreation (staff), the management, they all all work so well with one another. This became apparent [in 2020] when they all had to deliver all the meals to the residents' suites. The attitude was amazon, they would come singing. This is the kind of staff we have. I call it the wonderful world of the Waterford.

My mother has been a resident at the Waterford in Tsawwassen for over 7 years and we have been very happy with her care. Whenever we visit, we enjoy the food in the dining room. The staff has been friendly and helpful. We will be coming in May, hopefully to eat chocolate!

My mother was recently in the care centre at the Waterford and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for the staff who cared for her. She felt safe and had real affection for the nurses and aids involved in her care. The centre itself is comfortable and the food exceptional.

A wonderful space for senior residents to live as independently as they wish [with] a care option available in house if/when they decline physically or mentally. [Many] activities to choose from, as well as a private bus that they share with their sister site down the street. [It's an] extremely convenient location [when you want] to run errands and things, without needing a vehicle.

After interviewing several similar organizations in Vancouver, my daughters and I decided to send their father here to recuperate after a minor stroke. He is now settling in nicely and started to like the services, people and food provided by the home. We found the home extremely well run under the General Manager Mirandah Sinden, with impressive teamwork among all the staff and workers. We cannot be more pleased with this home, without which we would have to spend a lot more time and energy managing their father's well beings. Thank you Gilmore homes, we are forever grateful 💕❤️🙏🙏🙏

My parents have been living in Gilmore Garden since last summer. It was extremely difficult to find a right place for aging parents, but we are so glad that we found GG. So far we are very happy that they are in this warm, bright, and welcoming community where all staffs are friendly, caring and helpful to answer their needs. They enjoy the holiday celebrations, parties, concerts, and performances. They participate in programs and activities as they like. Most importantly, we feel that they are in a safe place should they need any health assistance. GG has done an outstanding job in creating a happy and comfortable home for seniors!

I can't say enough about the staff and volunteers at Gilmore Gardens. They are respectful, responsive, and truly care for the residents they serve. My father has been their since January 2020, and has been pleased with the food, programs, and support provided.

Extremely friendly staff and facility have a warm and homelike atmosphere.

My mom has been well taken care of in the past 1.5 years at Gilmore. The Staff has gone above and beyond in my mom’s needs. Everyday my mom is treated with caring, helpful and friendly staff. I would highly recommend Gilmore Gardens.
