There’s beauty throughout, ranging from the beautifully landscaped exterior and gardens to the fun lifestyle seniors live here.

Inside, find the kind of amenities you’d expect in a seniors’ resort. Features include a hair salon, a piano lounge, a fitness centre, and a movie theatre, complete with retro design that takes you back to your youth. You can relax and read at leisure in the library, or play billiards in the sports lounge.

Staff is an integral part of the community, joining in activities and adding to the fun atmosphere here. In addition, family members are encouraged to take part. You’ll find the setting inspiring for other reasons, too. Suites are exceptionally comfortable and spacious. Floor-to-sky lighting in the dining area enriches the experience there. The greenery of the courtyard makes it a wonderful place to relax in summer.

This rich elegance understandably attracts good people, which is what you find. Sandalwood is an elegant resort-like experience that packs in enjoyment, a true focus of life here. People not only “love living here” but they also live long here, thanks to that.

Rob has been a part of Regency Retirement Resorts for over 15years.  He joined Sandalwood as our Maintenance Manager and has been promoted multiple times to the Master Host position in two other buildings before returning to Sandalwood to helm our team.  Rob is often seen out of his office engaging with residents and family members or assisting other departments with their tasks.  Rob is not a hands off manager by any means - he believes in listening to our community's needs and getting the job done - even if that is outside struggling with irrigation lines or in the dish pit assisting our kitchen and dining staff to ensure mealtimes are flawless.  Rob is always looking after the residents, the building, the staff and treating all individuals as equals that bring value to our everyday lives at Sandalwood.

Rob believes there is much to learn by everyone and it takes a village to get jobs done.  In his early days maintaining the building, he was able to gain valuable information behind the scenes that has translated seamlessly to improving the quality of the community at Sandalwood and helping all residents to maintain their Independence as long as possible.

When not at Sandalwood, Rob can be found embracing the Okanagan Lifestyle – fishing and camping with his wife of 35years or down on the floor rolling around with his Grandchildren

Family doctor involvement ensures resident is suitable to independent living.

Our doors are open! Sandalwood is Independent Living and as such, we look after each other and our community together. If a resident is feeling unwell, we will gladly deliver their meals to them in their personal suite. If a resident is in need of a COVID-19 test, we have a supply on hand to share with them. Residents and their families are great at communicating any concerns about an individuals health. Same care and attention is given to our staff. Together we support one another and want only the best for each other, so we can continue to live our best lives independently as a community.
