Considering the right path for retirement is not a one-size-fits-all solution. After all, no two people are exactly alike, so why would their interpretations of retirement living be?
At Terraces on Seventh, individuality is not only celebrated but encouraged, creating the ideal environment for residents to socialize, find common interests, and form genuine, authentic connections and relationships.
Senior care with a West Coast flair
On top of its jam-packed recreation schedule and amazing amenities, Terraces on Seventh recently unveiled a new look courtesy of local Indigenous artist Jesse Gouchey, that perfectly encapsulates its commitment to the West Coast lifestyle and all it entails.
Gouchey’s artwork is inspired by and features various illustrations of his Indigenous heritage, featuring adorable ducklings, beautiful Canadian geese, and a majestic bald eagle and bear. These images provide a personalized touch as the first feature visitors and residents see before entering the community.
“The mural is a lovely concept and is so unique,” describes Jackie C., a resident at Terraces on Seventh. “It gives you a real lift when you walk into the building.”
Creative freedom, living well
While the murals are, of course, beautiful to look at, they also represent much more than meets the eye.
“Our four pillars are significant of Indigenous culture, depicting the four seasons,” explains resident Muriel M. “We feel honoured to be living at Terraces on Seventh, which has enabled this gifted artist to present his art and his heritage for everyone to enjoy.”
Other residents echoed the same sentiment, beaming with pride and appreciation at the captivating pieces as a highlight of theirs and the surrounding community.
“I think the four columns are very appropriate to represent the four seasons as a theme,” describes resident Heather F. “The fall one is my favourite because of the vibrant colours. Jesse’s depiction of animals is beautiful. It is a real point of interest for visitors and anyone passing by.”
Other residents believe that the murals serve as a representation of the warm hospitality embodied by Terraces on Seventh and a celebration of the lands it sits on, such as Nicholas L., who claims, “the mural adds colour, is very inviting, and a wonderful celebration of Indigenous culture!”
Speaking of entering the community – the Terraces on Seventh difference presents itself as soon as you walk through the doors. Guests and visitors receive a sincere, heartfelt welcome from professional, compassionate and caring team members dedicated to residents’ safety and security.
And this hospitality doesn’t just stop at humans, either. The boutique retirement community is also pet-friendly, with furry friends always welcome to be part of the community.
Unbeatable amenities
Of course, the pièce de résistance of Terraces on Seventh, besides the personalized service and all-star team, lies in its unbeatable amenities.
A diverse range of recreation options are available in shared spaces, including the on-site library, movie theatre, in-house salon, fitness room, and more. And while the various activities and events help feed inspiration and the mind, the delicious dining experiences also feed the body and soul.
The bright and spacious one-bedroom, one-bedroom and den, and two-bedroom suites all come with a fully-equipped kitchen should residents wish to prepare their own meals. However, should they not feel like it or want something a bit more social, chef-prepared meals are also available in the main dining room, prepared using fresh and local ingredients.
Apart from the stunning murals at the entrance, residents can also admire the beautiful West Coast scenery from the comfort of their suites, with gorgeous ocean and mountain views.
