Holiday gatherings are the perfect opportunity to check in on family, especially the older adults in our lives. Reflecting on your recent Thanksgiving get-together, did you notice anything unusual? 

Perhaps you noticed an older family member struggling to navigate the stairs, or you took notice of the many chores left undone around their home. You might have sensed that your beloved family member seemed less engaged with life and expressed a desire for more connection with others.

Often, our loved ones are good at giving the impression that everything is okay, as they don’t want to burden others. However, if you’ve noticed signs that can’t be ignored, now might be the time to start a conversation about moving to one of Tapestry’s exceptional senior lifestyle communities in Vancouver. 

“The most common thing I hear from our residents is that they wish they had moved into Tapestry much sooner,” says Tiffany Whelan, director of sales. “We always say that it’s best to move in before you need to.”

Tapestry residents live independently in beautifully-appointed suites featuring full kitchens or can choose to dine at the onsite pub and restaurant, with a flexible meal credit included in their monthly rent."

Tapestry communities focus on wellness, and with offerings like planned activities, programs and a variety of events ranging from art, fitness classes, social gatherings, seminars and guest speakers. Residents can participate as much or as little as they’d like, following their own interests, discovering new ones and making new friends along the way.

When living at Tapestry, residents focus on what they love to do and leave chores like housekeeping to dedicated employees.

If a resident requires modest health support at some point in time, Tapestry’s health team can provide services in the comfort and discretion of their suite. Services include bathing and shower assistance, medication administration, diabetes monitoring and other options customized to personal needs. 

Tapestry resident, Diane, has seen several friends avoid the decision to move, despite many reasons to do so, simply because it felt overwhelming. She then watched as choices were made for them, or they quickly selected a community that didn’t meet their needs.

Determined not to follow suit, Diane explored a number of seniors’ communities and decided on Tapestry. She appreciated the warm ambience, comfortable design and picturesque location of the community, along with the endless choices you have to be involved in, including the variety of exercise classes and thriving book club. “I didn’t consider another community after seeing Tapestry,” she says. 

“It can feel overwhelming when you start to explore options for senior living,” adds Tiffany. “But our team is happy to engage with families at any stage in their decision-making process to outline options and to help address any obstacles or fears about moving.” 

Tapestry uniquely provides complimentary move-in coordination services to ensure a seamless transition, while offering a customized experience for each resident.
