How we see Granville Gardens - Verve Senior Living
The best thing about Granville Gardens is the care you'll find here. Having regular, chef-prepared meals offered daily is just the start of the life enhancement you'll take part in here. The group activities – including games, exercise, outings and in-house entertainment make life as sociable as you want it. There's round the clock watchful security provided by professional staff. Staff has been characterized by one family member as "a wonderful, caring group who [has] patiently held our hands" through the decision process.
This is another exceptional senior care community from Verve Senior Living, a company that brings more than 40 years' experience to every property they offer. Granville Gardens exhibits their penchant for creating a variety of welcoming spaces throughout the community. We particularly love the main foyer, which is spacious and immediately presents different settings where you can take a quiet moment by yourself and look forward to times in the future when you will sit with friends to enjoy a chat. There's a capacious dining room with tables spread generously around the room, featuring daffodil-coloured carpeting. Seniors' rooms are bright, spacious and comfortable.
What people love about life at Granville Gardens is the many different spaces available to pamper yourself in different ways. There are spaces where you can indulge in art, another room where you can do chair yoga or work on a jigsaw puzzle (by yourself or with a partner), quiet spots to have a chat or read by yourself, and many daily activities … You can really create a complete life, a new life, within the walls of Granville Gardens. Of course, outside there's so much more to do, including neighbourhood strolls with the walking club, shopping, restaurants and lovely Kerrisdale parkland.
The great thing about this new life, of course, is that you don't have to do your own cooking or housecleaning, and there are always people standing by to offer your assistance or care … whatever you need. For those who have worked hard for themselves all their lives, it can be hard to accept a helping hand, but once you get used to it (and admit that maybe you deserve it), there is nothing like the life you will find at Granville Gardens.
How Granville Gardens - Verve Senior Living sees itself
Experience modern retirement living in our boutique-style residence. Granville Gardens offers peace, comfort, and safety nestled in the charming Vancouver neighbourhood of Kerrisdale, where everything you need is at your fingertips. Discover a new passion in our art centre or enjoy socializing in one of our bistro and lounges. The inviting West Coast design surrounded by Japanese-inspired gardens and terraces, exciting seniors’ programming, and 24/7 warm, caring team members are ready to welcome you home to your small oasis in the city.
At Granville Gardens, because we are a small boutique residence that only has 62 suites, our ability to really know our residents well is part of our appeal. We take the time to recognize their particular likes and dislikes & our caring staff learn people’s needs quite quickly. Connections with other residents are easily formed because we are a small community.
We have an extensive list of Ancillary and Personal services list residents can choose from to help get them established comfortably from the onset of their move in. We put photos up so all staff are aware of new people and can welcome them by name upon arrival. Directing and guiding and not being too busy to answer questions they may have is all part of helping them feel welcome. We try to suggest table mates that we think they may have things in common with but encourage them to sit where they like too.
