Gain exclusive insight into life at Berwick On The Park. Comfort Life’s exclusive verified reviews and videos give you insider information from residents and their families.
Berwick is the name behind spectacular retirement home locations across BC, and The Park is no exception. On a hilltop overlooking Kamloops and the Thompson River, the location is striking, but it’s just the starting point for a community that impresses on every level. Seniors find a place to thrive here, surrounded by like-minded peers in a setting that caters to their needs.
This community is focused on simplifying your life, through services like housekeeping and daily fine dining. Beautiful throughout—the panoramic windowing on the main lounge particularly striking—this place inspires joy. Noteworthy amenities include the Berwick Theatre and the dining room with a 2nd floor mezzanine.
The location attracts a “lively bunch,” and the social life here is often downright festive. Independent seniors seem to celebrate life here, where every day is focused on living life to the fullest, with fun activities including everything from games (active and seated), to painting classes, to live entertainment, and much more. There are enjoyable outings to local places, but simply relaxing outside together is its own joy, thanks to the panoramic scenery. For those who need assistance, care comes at the hands of personal support workers here who clearly enjoy working with the seniors.

I moved to Berwick on the Park over a year ago. I chose Berwick because of its beautiful facility & great location. Berwick has great amenities such as a Fitness Center, Movie Theatre, Library, etc. The meals are great, & the staff & Residents are very welcoming, friendly, kind, helpful, & caring. It offers numerous activities & social opportunities, from exercise classes, which I enjoy attending, card games, crafts, to musical entertainments & seasonal celebrations, so you can be as busy as you want to be. I really appreciate that they provide transportation to take you to medical appointments, shopping, or just to visit friends or family within the city. Transitioning from my home to Berwick is a good & easy experience for me. I consider myself lucky & is grateful to be a part of Berwick on the Park Residence Community.
I love this place! It is wonderful to spend my time doing things I enjoy instead of things like house and yard maintenance. The staff are incredible - so warm and friendly; they do make you feel like family. They are constantly coming up with interesting and fun activities. The Berwick About Town Car is a huge benefit and is included in my rent!
I have lived at Berwick on the Park for 3 years. All the staff are very helpful, welcoming, and always smiling. I have made many new friends. There are many activities, exercise programs, mind challenges, live entertainment, guest speakers, bus trips, decorating our residence, and gardening in the summer. Our chefs prepare delicious meals with several choices. I love the warmth and security of my Berwick Home.
I am a resident here at Berwick on the Park and have been here for four years. Living here has changed my life; the staff is amazing and helpful. There are so many activities that keep me busy, like exercise classes that have improved my health. I have made so many new friends, and the food is amazing. I love it here, and my life has never felt so full.
I moved in here several months ago to find a home I didn’t expect. The food, the activities, and the friendships are really special. What surprised me the most has been the entertainment and the Staff. Wow! The entertainment is always a surprise, as is the friendliness and warmth of the performers. The Staff is the Best!!! They work hard but always seem to have a smile and time to listen. And it’s beautiful here. I don’t know how they do it! I love it.
My mom has really appreciated moving from her apartment to Berwick this year. The food is varied, healthy, and delicious. The staff is so helpful and attentive. She has many activities to do and opportunities to contribute to the Berwick community. I’m so happy for her.
Moving to Berwick on the Park was one of the best decisions I have ever made. There is a true sense of community here. The staff goes above and beyond to fulfill your needs. The food is excellent, and the planned activities are fun and creative. I am truly grateful to have found such a wonderful place to live.
Great place with great people.
The 10 years I have been at Berwick on the Park, the food is awesome, I love making connections with the residents and the staff, and everyone around me is so friendly!
Moving into the Berwick during Covid made my first two years here very challenging. ... Since then, I have slowly adjusted to accepting being old. I do believe that is an essential developmental task of aging. .... The provision of activities provided is wide and helps with mental and physical health.
My grandma [lived] here 6 or 7 years before she [passed away] at the age of 91. The staff there was really good to her. I remember as a kid I would look at the fish tank in the lobby for hours on end, it was truly a special spot for me. The room that my grandma got was really nice compared to her old apartment. They have a bunch of activities for the seniors to participate in such as bingo. My grandma met some friends there who were all super nice and funny. I miss my grandma a lot but I’m glad that she was put in this wonderful retirement home and lived out the rest of her days happily.
