Parksville, British Columbia
     

  • Berwick Retirement Communities is run by Gordon Denford and son Chris whose high standards for senior living have been successfully implemented in seven other beautiful communities across BC. Berwick Parksville builds on that experience and tradition and takes things to a new level in Canada’s “retirement capital.” The exterior design itself is very contemporary, inspired by white sandy beaches. There’s copious outdoor space and a coffee shop nearby. The waters of the Strait of Georgia are visible straight down Weld Street.
  • Fantastic staff. My grandma loves living here

South Kamloops, British Columbia
     

  • 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.
  • My grandma [lived] here 6 or 7 years before she [passed away] at the age of 91. The staff there was

Victoria, British Columbia
   

  • Berwick House in the Gordon Head area of Victoria is an award-winning, established community that brought the company’s original vision to fruition. Management has a reputation for hard work, dedication, and deep empathy. New renovations launched in 2022 give this residence a revitalized look and feel.
  • My Mum lived in her suite for 10 years ... I highly [recommend them] at Shelbourne. All of the staff

Nanaimo, British Columbia
     

  • Berwick Retirement creates some of the most beautiful communities in BC, many at some of the most attractive waterfront locations in the province. Berwick on the Lake impresses on every level, and we’re hard-pressed to isolate factors to highlight, but the location, care, and dining here are certainly a few.
  • Would highly recommend Berwick on the Lake for respite care on the Brio Intermediate Care unit. Berw

Qualicum Beach, British Columbia
     

  • Setting is such a big part of how you feel every day. Move into Berwick Qualicum Beach, and it could improve your life from the moment you wake until day's end. It’s simply wonderful, built with seniors' enjoyment in mind.
  • Attention to detail. Fantastic staff. Such a beautiful building with amazing food everyday.

Campbell River, British Columbia
     

  • Winner of multiple building and design awards, Berwick By the Sea has one of the most breathtaking locations we’ve ever seen, overlooking the Strait of Georgia. It’s a special place that, to our minds, immediately leaps onto a short list of the best retirement communities in all of Canada. For seniors anywhere in the country who’ve been exposed to the beauty of BC and want to retire in “the most beautiful place on earth,” this place is worth taking a closer look at.
  • Excellent for people to retire. Everybody, staff and employees, are very friendly and all the reside

Victoria, British Columbia
       

  • The Camelot is ideal for people who want something more intimate in a retirement residence, offering a cozily private community of peers. Among Victoria retirement homes, this is a unique, boutique-style community. You can come and go as you please, with a ready set of companions and friends living in the same building. Set in a quiet residential neighbourhood, people who are more introspective or artsy may find this to be a comfortable way to settle into retirement living.
  • Fabulous location, comfortable apartments, delicious dinners, and lovely staff. Two thumbs up!

Comox, British Columbia
     

  • Berwick offers spectacular locations across Vancouver Island, and Comox Valley is one more example; like Parksville, the climate combined with the beauty of the area make it very desirable. Berwick Comox Valley is a retirement destination on its own, with superior features and amenities, a lively schedule of activities, and the tight-knit community that's found a home here.
  • Both my parents were fortunate to get in to Berwick. The facilities are so nice and the staff made t
