Hi Norma, Thanks so much for the care you and your team gave to my mother while at Chelsea Park. I was not expecting such a great experience. We looked at places that charged double the cost your facility does so we were expecting to lower our expectations since we could not afford the other places. But much to our surprise you were so much better than we could have ever experienced at any other place – simply the best. I think it is because of your genuine care and attention to my mother and all the other residents under your management. I honestly found that the rest of the staff very very good but somehow you were a shining light that made me feel like I was leaving my mother with a loving family member who really cared about her. You are professional and caring to the maximum degree.

My family has lived in East Vancouver for over 50 years and the Trout Lake neighborhood is like a second home so finding Chelsea Park for my Mom was great. Six months after my Dad died my Mom made the difficult decision to move out of our family home. Not easy after 55 years in the same place! Chelsea Park has just enough care and connection with people and just enough privacy to maintain independence. Mom has lived at Chelsea Park for a year and a half and has made wonderful friends AND started knitting again after many years. All of her grandchildren, friends and new babies have been the lucky recipients of new toques!

Sincerely, Beth

Don was so fortunate to move into your building. It was such a great place for him. His family feel very grateful that he lived there. Good staff, good food and good programs. And live music! It was the best.

- Ann

Thank you both again for all that you do for the residents at Chelsea Park. You take care of everyone just as you would your own family and it means more than the world to me and my siblings.

- Anne Marie

Just wanted to let you know how appreciative our family is for being so prompt in fixing and eventually replacing our mom’s fridge. Thank you for you and your staff for always providing exceptional service to keep the residents safe and healthy.

– Dolena, Donna and Cher

I just wanted to thank you again and again for taking such good care of the residents at Chelsea Park. Please send my heartfelt thanks to the entire staff there. You are all heroes!

– Anne-Marie

I love living at Chelsea Park! My apartment is really comfortable and the staff members are super. The park and community center are right across the street – simply perfect.

– Susan

I like the fact that our building is becoming a real community.

- Dianne

My husband and I are so impressed with all the services Chelsea Park offers for my 96 year old father.
We highly recommend this facility and its staff to others. The staff do an excellent job.

We felt very uncomfortable about moving to the city, but you would never know we are in one. We walk across the street to places we call the ‘People Beach’, the ‘Dog Beach’, and the ‘Duck Bench’ at Trout Lake. At our new home we get lunch & dinner served in the attractive dining room. The staff are very good at remembering what people can and cannot eat. We are very happy here and cannot imagine living anywhere else. We get our suite cleaned once a week. I feel very spoiled. I would advise anyone looking for a place to live, “Come to Chelsea Park you will be very happy”

John Hendry Park and the seniors centre are just across the street. What a huge back yard!
