Local roots: Community is at the heart of South Surrey retirement residence
“The service is terrific, the people wonderful and the food couldn’t be better! We love it here,” says Suncrest Retirement Community resident Mr. Weary Nicolson. “The staff is wonderful – Julie, Courtney and Lisa are out of this world!”
At home in the heart of South Surrey, Suncrest is a retirement community unlike any other. Part of a wholly BC-owned, Independent Living senior retirement community, it holds a special place in the hearts of residents. It’s a tribute to the genuine warmth and connection that lets it stand out from the corporate giants with their distant head offices, several provinces or even oceans away.
Comforts of home, peace of belonging
Suncrest residents revel in the comfort of their home, where the staff know their names, their stories, and their favorite activities and interests. In contrast to large corporate-owned establishments, Suncrest offers a genuine sense of belonging, – essential to Suncrest’s community spirit. Owners and staff live in the same, or neighboring towns, shop at the local markets, and support the community they serve.
Activities and fun for all
Residents enjoy an authentic Independent Living experience. They can partake in weekly bingo games, indulge their creative side during arts and crafts sessions, sip beverages at happy hour, and take group trips to nearby points of interest to enjoy the beautiful and inspiring sights of the Lower Mainland.
The sense of community and shared experiences blossoms as neighbours become friends, and friends become family.
Locally rooted
While some corporate-run facilities can be disconnected from the local culture and its people, at Suncrest, decisions are made locally by the Evertt family, who know the community and have been committed to caring for residents in B.C. since 1952. This local knowledge strongly benefits those who live on these shores of South Surrey and White Rock.
Town hall where voices matter
Suncrest Retirement Community’s town hall meets regularly, to exchange ideas and discuss improvements. Residents’ voices matter and changes can be made to ensure their well-being and happiness. Suncrest strives to optimize a significant level of community engagement and customization both within its walls and out in the greater community.
“The choice is clear for those seeking Senior Retirement Living in South Surrey. Suncrest Retirement Community, with its wholly British Columbian ownership and strong local ties, provides not just a place to retire but a true home,” Karen Clark, Community Relations & Marketing Representative, says from her office at 2567 King George Blvd. “And what our residents say is entirely true, the staff is fantastic; so caring and devoted. Like Lisa, our Receptionist, who’s worked here for over 5 years, since Suncrest opened. She interacts with residents every day, and is a perfect example of the warmth and unity of Suncrest. Lisa and other dedicated staff are the embodiment of what it means to belong to a place where people genuinely care.”
