Lee Harris, resident

Berwick Comox Valley - accessibility to local shopping, medical and dental offices, walking distance to Marina, Filberg and Mac Laing Parks, a variety of suites with views over Comox Ave., or the park and tennis courts, security, a variety of meals and most of all, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. There are bus trips on a regular basis to shopping in Courtenay and Naniamo, scenic tours and outings to suit everyone. It's a good life!

My mother lives here and it appears very friendly and warm. Very clean and well managed in my humble opinion.

This staff here is just fabulous. Fabulous. If there is a heaven on the planet, then I’m sitting in it. I tell people that are visiting or touring here, ‘If you join us, you’ll never regret it. Just as an example: we are having family here for a family celebration and we were looking at the wine list, and [a staff member] said ‘Mr. Denford suggests that you try this wine – it’s his favourite, and if you like that, you can have it for the same price as the next one we were going to go for that was less expensive.’ You know, you don’t get that very often – personalized service like that.

The big thing here is the staff. The waiters and waitresses – they are so good with elderly people. They are so patient. The staff are so marvelous. It’s not like you are institutional, they are so warm with you. You’re not a number sitting at a table at all. It’s just not like that here.

Berwick is home for my mother. It’s everything that she could possibly want. It has everything she wants and stuff that she didn’t even know she wanted.

Both my parents were fortunate to get in to Berwick. The facilities are so nice and the staff made them feel welcome and safe immediately. There are so many activities and the support resources are fantastic! I was worried about the transition as I live so far away, but I have complete peace of mind. Thank you to the wonderful team at Berwick!
