How we see Berwick On The Lake
Berwick Retirement creates some of the most beautiful communities in BC, many at some of the most attractive waterfront locations in the province. There’s something to be said for the revitalization value of living in a location like Berwick on the Lake. It really does “impress on every level” and we’re hard-pressed to isolate factors to highlight, but the location, care, and dining here are certainly a few.
Berwick on the Lake is like living in a five star hotel, one where you are served on a daily basis by staff that goes above and beyond. Tour the community and you’ll see staff members genuinely enjoying the interactions they have with residents. Staff here has a reputation for promptly responding to requests for help. Family members and residents acclaim the depth of attention that staff give to those in their care.
The dining here is superb fare daily, prepared by red seal chefs. Food is prepared using fresh ingredients, and the shared meals tend to be lively experiences involving both staff and residents. There’s a games room and a library that people enjoy, while the lakefront location creates a palpably chill vibe. Nearby there are all the conveniences you’ll ever need. After moving here, seniors find that they have many connections with others. One more noteworthy aspect of this community is the continuum of care available here. It’s an ideal solution for couples with varying care needs.
