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. No matter what kind of person a resident is, there is an activity for them to enjoy in the day. The environment is bright and cheerful. 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.

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.

Gave excursions to other residents - not my family member. Treated differently. Family member missed meal when I was there. No one seems accountable. Items missing - but again, no one takes responsibility. Walls are dull and no decoration. Seems like a hospital environment. Some staff rude and never replied when I greeted them. We are ones paying the bill and staff should be nicer. On the good side, some aides are nice to visitors.
