As advocates for seniors, we believe that by learning about their lives and interests, and helping them articulate their needs and wants, we can truly facilitate the transition from a situation that is not quite working anymore, whether to our community or elsewhere.

How are residents supported if their needs change?
How are residents supported if their needs change?
At Berwick Royal Oak, seniors can continue living comfortably as their needs evolve thanks to the availability of both independent living and assisted living in our community. Services and personal supports can be arranged as needed so residents can remain in familiar surroundings while receiving additional assistance. The focus is on maintaining independence while ensuring help is available when it is required. If a resident eventually requires 24-hour nursing care, our Brio Care Unit may be a good setting for their evolving needs. Should they require memory care, the family should work with Island Health or a local private pay community for assessment and placement in long-term and memory care.

We are proud to be locally-owned and operated by father and son, Gordon and Chris Denford. From the opening of our very first retirement community, the Denford’s realized the importance of creating a warm and welcoming community that put the needs of our residents first. Gordon and Chris are actively involved in the development and operation of each unique location and their philosophy of accessible, approachable and effective listening allows Berwick to adapt quickly to the residents’ changing needs. Their openness and commitment to our residents can be felt in every aspect of life at all our Berwick’s.
Often new residents are surprised at how quickly they become part of The Wexford family. Because we're a smaller community, it's easy to connect with your neighbours over a game of billiards or at the table over dinner. New residents find that they feel at home very quickly. Our service is personal, and we pay special attention to you as an individual—you are known, seen and loved in this community.
