There are a number of things about this community that make it easy to move here. There's the encouragement to personalize your suite with effects from your home. Another is the warmth of staff, who create a strong sense of kinship and community. Here, community includes not just every senior, but staff and family of residents. Adult children love how they are included in all important discussions.
This retirement residence is ideal for seniors who want to live close to family in Surrey and who want to enjoy delightful senior living. Many families who move their parents and grandparents here express delight at the quality of the facilities ("like being on a cruise ship") and the caring staff ("all warm and so caring!")
We have been exploring Thornebridge for my dad. The staff have been EXTREMELY helpful and transparent in navigating the best care for dad. Very grateful for their expertise and assistance in navigating different care options for dad.
We had a tour with Pam, and it was excellent and impressive, to say the least! The facility is well maintained, staff members are constantly around, and my mother, whom I took in to see it, mentioned that everyone seems like they’re in good spirits, which was GREAT to hear from the person who is potentially going to attend the residence! We also tasted the food, and it was delicious! I haven’t seen my 80-year-old mother eat as much as she did! Pam was a gracious host and a very detailed tour guide. We are seriously considering a move to Thornebridge for my mom, and I would recommend it to anyone!
My 100 year old mom from Calgary wanted to see her sister-in-law Alice S. as they haven’t seen each other for many years. The staff made us so welcome and the accommodations are so beautiful, I had a hard time leaving! Thank you all for making our stay so wonderful! It meant the world to us! Oh! And the food! Just incredible!
My mom is a very young 93, and she loves the youth connection at Thornebridge. She’s gained new friendships among the youth ambassador program there… You can have as much social life there as you want. For people who like having a big group of friends like my mom, she’s been able to take advantage of the knitting and the bridge clubs, movie nights. One of her favourite things this year is that she has started a gardening club. She’s made some really great friendships there. We’ve been so grateful that she’s so well looked after… [It’s] a place that gives [seniors] what they need.
My mother has lived at Thornebridge Gardens for 4 years. She wanted to live there, so put her house up for sale, and Thornebridge found her the perfect suite. Being almost 92, she is needing more help these days, and the staff are very helpful. Although she does pay extra for the help, help is there. The staff are very patient as well, and handle [her] well.
#1 facility in Surrey close to amenities. Awesome staff and residents.
Arbourside Court is a fantastic seniors residence. The management and staff are so easy to deal with. You can really tell they love taking care of the people who live there. With an abundance of activities, great food, and an easy ambience, there's no other place like Arbourside Court.
Incredible! Would give 10 stars if I could.
I had the pleasure of volunteering at Arbourside Court. It was such a fun event for the residents; the staff put in a lot of effort!
My grandpa goes here and it truly is the best!! There are always events and something fun happening.
