If you are placing a loved one into a private pay bed at SSV, read the contract VERY CAREFULLY especially item 8. It requires a resident or his/her family to give 30 days notice of vacating the room. This is impossible to do if you are waiting for a subsidized bed (you only have 48 hours to accept an offer) or if your loved one passes away while occupying a private pay room. Rent is approximately $7000 for a 31 day month. A security deposit of $3375 is also required at the time of admission. You only get a prorated amount of rent back if they are able to rent the room to someone else after it is vacated. In my case I only get 9 days rent back (no cheque received yet) and my security deposit is still in limbo. Care at SSV on my husband's floor was good once his CPAP issues were sorted out (3 months after admission). I had to contact Retirement Concepts head office in Vancouver to get action. My impression of most of the Management Team at SSV was negative. Most of the time they don't return phone calls or answer emails.

The staff here are wonderful and cared for my dear Auntie for years till her recent death due to advanced Alzeimers. They were always gentle, respectful and kind to her. I can't say enough good about the "team" here. Thank-you.

My Mom lives there. Depending on the floor it can be a bit "institutional" but I guess that's what it is :) Kind caring staff and very clean. If you're in the market check them out. I think there's a bit of a wait though?

Quiet beautiful community, along the water and the galloping goose trail.a beautiful walk that will lead you across the trestle or into Cecilia ravine park where beautiful painted murals await your discovery.

The staff is very difficult to contact and often don't seem to have a clue about their responsibilities. I live out of town and trying to contact my brother who lives their is hard. I suspect a management issue as the staff seem qualified but uninspired to do what they are capable of.
