For some, it’s the benefit of living in their own apartment home – living as they always have – but without hassles like mowing the lawn, fixing a leaky pipe or even vacuuming. For others, it’s the peace of mind that comes with living in a community that is staffed 24 hours a day by well trained professionals and offers a full scope of assisted living services should they need them. But for almost all, it’s the camaraderie and fun of living in a community that includes an exhaustive list of amenities and services specifically designed to fill every day with five-star fun.

But don’t take our word for it! Check out what some of our residents have to say about living in a Tapestry Retirement Community.

"Oh, just like a major hotel – it’s first class!"

"It’s an ideal combination of privacy or not, as you will. You can live entirely self-sufficiently in your suite with your own kitchen and everything but when you feel the need of company – I’ve made lots of new friends here. It’s just ideal."

"I was facing up to the prospect of living alone and I was already looking and this place was just going to be developed – they hadn’t even turned the sod yet – but I became aware of it. I just liked the looks of what they were going to do and it has turned out to be an excellent choice."

"Definitely the people – everything – there’s so many things that you’re offered food, entertainment, good friends, good accommodation. Lift the phone and you’ve got everything you want."

"It’s just like living in a first-class hotel with your own suite. I’d recommend it to anybody."

"Tapestry is a winner, delightful building, excellent food and facilities, and an outstanding, caring staff."

"Actually, I didn’t choose it, I got pushed in here (laughter), but it’s great. My son came down from Terrace and we weren’t well at the time, so he started looking around, where we got more attention, and he found this. And it’s been wonderful."

"My wife and I have scooters and we’ve been to a lot of other places and they’re way out in the country. This is only three blocks from your main street and we can go shopping everywhere on our scooters and really enjoy the neighbourhood. It’s beautiful."

"I was perfectly happy in my home – but I came and everybody was so nice, I thought what a good idea – we’ll give it a try."

"I want to thank you and your excellent staff for all the wonderful help you gave us on moving day - everything went so well and my family were most impressed...your staff give 100 per cent and then add another 100 per cent in friendliness."

"Thanks to all of you for my pleasant trial stay at Tapestry. Your team has created a most vibrant and harmonious environment and I felt privileged to be welcomed and included."
