I was greeted by the general manager Michael Tablit upon arrival. He was extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable. His knowledge and attention to detail was awesome and answered all my questions. He introduced me to some of the residents who all seemed to be happy with him and how things were going. The place was clean and felt organized.
Ray Halani, senior

Leigh Carriere, the community relations manager, gave us a tour of the place, and she was highly professional in her presentation, great to talk to, and answered all our questions most helpfully! It is a beautiful, new facility in a lovely residential neighborhood. The other staff seemed attentive and friendly too. Definitely worth considering for anyone needing a retirement home.

I researched a number of retirement residences in and around Vancouver prior to my Dad’s arrival from New Brunswick in the fall of 2022. Granville Gardens stood out for its friendly and caring management and staff, contemporary and clean facilities, and the top calibre meal, social and fitness programs. Since he moved in, Granville Gardens has delivered beyond our high expectations. Thank you to the management and staff!

We give Granville Gardens A+ for effort, kindness and care for people. The Community Relations Manager, Leigh Carriere was the epitome of grace, respect and openness as she toured my father and me around the beautiful building and grounds. Leigh was genuine and down to earth. There is no high pressure sales. She took the time to get to know my father's needs and was transparent about everything. This is a people-centred place!

We've recently moved my grandmother to Granville Gardens, as it was time for her to not be living by herself anymore. It is such a nice community here - the meals are delicious and offers a great variety, there are plenty of activities for my grandmother to join if she wants to, the other residents seem friendly and she seemed to have made some friends already, there are nice outside areas that are safe, and most importantly, the staff are friendly and attentive. We don't have to worry about her not eating enough or just sitting around alone all day, and best of all, Granville Gardens doesn't seem like an old person's home. This is the best decision we all could have made for her.

Granville Gardens has changed our family life! Udo and his staff have made my brother feel at home for almost a year now. He is well cared for and much more confident and happy. He is able to commute easily to work and comes home to a nice dinner. He loves movie nights and talking with the friendly staff and fellow residents.
Denise Foster, family member
My mom has been living at Granville Gardens for just over a year. It is a perfect new home for her. The staff are wonderful and they have done a fantastic job over the course of the pandemic. We wondered if she would cope here with her dementia, but my mom has thrived here. She has made new friends and has embraced the activities here. She has been more active in the last year than she was in previous few years prior to moving in. In her words: "I love it here!".

My mom has lived here for 2 1/2 years. She has faced many adjustments, her husband of 70 years passed away, COVID lockdown, and living alone for the first time in her life. Granville Gardens made her feel important and loved. The staff go above [and beyond] to make her feel loved and valued. Eating with her friends is her highlight of the day. She joins activities and has made new friends. Change is never easy, imagine doing it at 100. [Granville Gardens] makes the transition a positive one. [Jan 2021]
Cindy Ricketts, family member
Granville Gardens welcomed my sister into this home like she was royalty. She was treated with the most loving and caring treatment by all staff. [She] was very sick, and everyone went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable. I cannot rave enough about how much [they] accommodated our family and the kindness that they showed to all of us. My sister's memories of Granville Gardens and our family are, that the people that work [here] are very special, and they truly care for the residents. I met many of the residents, and they are all friendly and happy [here]. Thank you Granville Gardens for making the last few months of my sisters life special.

Donna, family member
It's a beautiful and spotless [brand new] home ... [we're] very comforted with the fact that mom will have the best care possible.
