All the get-togethers and the staff are just phenomenal. There’s the gym, the book club, all the different game and card games. We have entertainment that comes in which is wonderful.
We have a pastry chef and our deserts are so delicious. We have an Executive Chef so our meals are prepared fresh everyday. I just have to tell everybody how happy I am because I love it here.
It’s just such a pleasant place to be. It’s like being on a cruise.
I knew it was just what I was looking for. I walked in, had an interview and just fell in love with the place.
My family thinks it’s great that I’m here because I’m being looked after. People that live in these places benefit from the care in every way, the meals, knowing your safe and what not.
I had the opportunity to visit the Sandalwood Residence this Christmas when visiting my Grandfather, Rev. Stan Smith. I was so impressed with the effort of the staff – from the greeting my family received when we walked through the front door, to the amazing Christmas decorations and the wait staff at the Christmas dinner that were so patient with any requests from their patrons. [We had] the grand tour and we were in awe of the facilities... Offering residents such great amenities shows great respect for their individual talents and interests, and offers them the opportunity to explore new ones.
My Grandfather has lived at Sandalwood for nearly a year and it has been such a great move for him. In his last home, he felt quite alienated and lonely... He continually praises the staff and facilities at Sandalwood. But it wasn’t until I experienced it for myself that I truly understood what a unique place Sandalwood is! There is such a sense of community at Sandalwood, and my Grandfather has certainly appreciated this. He has made great new friends and is never at a loss for things to do! My family and I are so happy knowing that he is well cared for and has found such an amazing place to call home.
Best retirement resort in Kelowna. Great food by Chef Doug. Staff very friendly & helpful. Happy residents with lots of smiles.
Really nice place in every way! My son and I visited recently, joining in many meals and attending the Friday Happy Hour. We were treated in a welcoming way, [enjoying] the pool table, theatre, library and weight room... It did my heart good to see my Mom and her husband in this fun, loving and supportive environment.
