A really nice place to live if you're a senior who is competent and able to live independently, but…read moredon't want the hassle of cooking and cleaning or taking care of a house and yard. This place is like renting an apartment, but it comes with meals and light housekeeping and laundry service. There are also activities such as exercise room, movie theater room, outdoor barbecue area, piano lounge, and other things to network with other seniors. 24 hour staff will ensure a resident's safety. You can have meals delivered to your room or you going to have somebody remind you to come for meals. Regular outings to the dollar store or the drugstore for residents by way of the private bus. It's all about keeping the residents happy and making it easy for them. The location is really nice, being only a block or two away from world-famous Granville Island. Lots of quiet streets for going walking or shopping. You'll need to contact this business and set up an appointment for your mom or dad to have an assessment. They want to make sure it's a good match. If there's some dementia it's probably not a good match. They cannot keep any of the guests locked in, they are free to come and go, so the resident must know enough to get back here safely. Otherwise it is very safe and secure with somebody at the front desk at all ours who will buzz people in and out. Coffee and snacks available most of the time in the lobby. Nice and clean facility with friendly staff. Don't wait too long to get your family member on board at Terraces on Seventh.

She lives independently with the support of knowing there's always someone available should she need help. There is caring in every aspect of life here.

The music and happy hours give a sense of fun and socialization and people genuinely enjoy mingling and spending time together. I wish I could give six stars.

I would like to tell all of you who are considering a care home for yourself or a loved one to pay…read morea visit to the Windermere Care Centre. My husband and I visited several to help us choose a place for my mother who has dementia. We looked at private and public institutions. Windermere does a mix of private and public, meaning that you can ask to be admitted and pay privately or hope that the public system puts you in there first. If the system puts you in somewhere else you can let them know that Windermere is your preferred place. My husband and I visited the centre separately but came to the same conclusion. We felt that the atmosphere was more convivial than most other places. As well there seemed to be a good mix of male and female residents as well as staff. Everyone seemed happy. My mother has been living there now almost 8 months and I am so grateful that we have made the right choice. Our hunch was accurate. The staff is very respectful, kind, courteous and cheerful not just to the residents but to each other as well. I don't think I could ask for better treatment for my mother from a private institution. In fact I have been told by someone with first hand experience that the treatment her mother received at a private institution was horrible. I hope you will visit the place and ask for a tour. This place truly is as good as it gets. God bless every member of staff.
