How we see Orchard Gardens Seniors Community
Orchard Gardens offers Kelowna and Okanagan Valley seniors a comfortable, affordable senior living solution in a home created with them in mind. Part of VRS Communities Society, this location also focuses on an enriched lifestyle that gives seniors and families real value for their money. Residents here share that they enjoy the company of both staff and other seniors with whom they find many things in common.
It’s a fun environment here. There are movie nights, a very active games room, and plenty of social activities on the schedule. Dining here is also notably elegant. It’s a setting where people grow friendships and support each other.
With walking paths nearby backing onto Davie Park and situated close to churches, shopping, and other services, it's also a comfortable community setting. Even under its previous name, Fenbrae Manor, it was praised for its great food and positive atmosphere. VRS has built on that with a fuller dedication to responsiveness and compassionate care.
Suites here are spacious, brightly lit, and cozy. These are nice when you want to relax or even have an in-home visit with friends. Those living here have brought their own furnishings and personal accents, and an adjustment, Orchard Gardens becomes a happy home for them. (You can also choose to bring pets.) And of course, people don’t spend a lot of time in their suites, thanks to the many new friends they make here.
How Orchard Gardens Seniors Community sees itself
Orchard Gardens (formerly Fernbrae Manor) offers quality services, active living, and a variety of amenities for Kelowna’s seniors. Supporting our residents is our priority and focus - with everything you need to both live comfortably and safe under one roof. Choose from a studio or one-bedroom suite with stunning views of the gardens and courtyards, and monthly independent living packages. Join us for a private tour to see the stunning grounds and experience our handcrafted dining.
As a non-profit, independent senior community, Orchard Gardens Seniors Community, uniquely focuses on enhancing the quality of life for our residents through a holistic approach that prioritizes community engagement, personalized care and affordability.
We foster a strong sense of community by encouraging social interaction and participation in various activities. Our programs are designed to promote friendships and connections among residents, creating a supportive environment.
We are committed to keeping our services affordable. We strive to provide high-quality living options without the profit-driven motives of for-profit entities, making Orchard Gardens Seniors Community accessible to a broader range of seniors.
At Orchard Gardens, we understand that transitioning to independent senior living can be a significant adjustment for residents. To support them during this transition, Orchard Gardens offer a variety of resources and services designed to ease the process and promote a sense of belonging.
New residents are invited to participate in a comprehensive orientation program that introduces them to the community and staff. Our Activities Manager will meet with new residents to find out what they like doing socially, for example, does a new resident like to play bridge or likes to be involved in any other activity or sport. We also ask questions relating to their dietary requirements to ensure the new resident is happy with the services we offer.
We understand that changes in physical needs can also impact emotional well-being. At Orchard Gardens we offer various social activities that encourage residents to connect with one another, share experiences and provide mutual support.
The staff at Orchard Gardens are also trained to recognize signs of emotional and physical distress and encourage open communication with families regarding any changes in a resident’s needs. Involving family members in discussions ensures that everyone is aligned and can contribute to the resident’s support network.
If an individual requires round-the-clock medical attention, or specialized full-time healthcare services that exceed what Orchard Gardens can provide, such as nursing care, we recommend exploring options that cater specifically to those needs.
Beautiful Surroundings: The picturesque landscaping and well-maintained facilities, at Orchard Gardens, often exceed residents’ expectations. Our community is designed to provide a serene and inviting environment that enhances their living experience.
Strong Sense of Community: New residents frequently remark on the welcoming and inclusive environment at Orchard Gardens. The camaraderie among residents and staff creates a sense of belonging that can be unexpected for those transitioning from more isolated living situations.
