Greystone Manor Retirement Residence

Some legacies are measured not by how far someone travelled, but by how many people they inspired along the way.

This September, we honour Terry Fox and the courage, determination, and hope he continues to inspire across Canada. His Marathon of Hope reminds us that even the smallest steps can lead to something extraordinary when taken with purpose.

Today, we remember a true Canadian hero and the lasting impact of his legacy.

We were delighted to welcome a talented Polynesian dance group to our community! 🌺🌴
Residents thoroughly enjoyed the vibrant performances, beautiful music, and cultural experience. Thank you for bringing so much energy, joy, and smiles to everyone’s day!

At Park Place Seniors Living, our STRIVE values guide everything we do. This month, we're highlighting a story from Orchards Walk, one of our sister communities, that shows how meaningful traditions can help residents feel connected and at home.

"This vibrant community fosters connection and joy through a variety of engaging activities. Residents delight in visits from local daycare children, especially during special occasions like Easter and Halloween, which bring excitement and happiness to all. Gardening is a shared effort, with staff and residents working together to maintain beautiful flower boxes on the patio, instilling pride and a sense of accomplishment. New residents are welcomed each summer with monthly Meet & Mingle events, featuring coffee and homemade cookies, helping everyone feel included and part of the community. Additionally, the weekly Ice Cream Socials offer a simple yet joyful way for residents and staff to bond and enjoy warm afternoons together. These traditions strengthen relationships, encourage teamwork, and create a welcoming, supportive environment for all."

While this story comes from Orchards Walk, it reflects the values shared across the Park Place family, including here at Greystone Manor Retirement Residence, where creating opportunities for connection, friendship, and belonging is part of everyday life.

At Greystone Manor Retirement Residence, resident-centred living goes far beyond services and amenities; it starts with truly living.

Through our “Voice and Choice” philosophy, we strive to ensure that every resident and their family is at the very heart of the decisions we make. We are committed to creating a warm, supportive community where everyone feels heard, respected, and fully empowered to make choices about their daily routines, personal preferences, and experiences.

Because living life your way is what makes a community truly feel like home. Reach out to us to learn more about how we put resident-centred values into practice every single day.

Staying active, exploring interests, and building relationships are key to living life to the fullest as we age.

Each month, we highlight a STRIVE story from across our communities that reflects how our core values come to life in everyday moments. This month’s stroy comes from our sister location, Shaughnessy Seniors Community:

“The recreation department underwent a major transformation, introducing a vibrant calendar of activities such as baking, pet therapy, church services, Bingo, breakfast and lunch clubs, happy hours, ice cream socials, high tea, live entertainment, garden walks, bus outings, and specialized dementia programming. Community connections were expanded by welcoming local students for performances and sing-alongs. Sonia’s creative leadership was instrumental in driving these enhancements, which have significantly improved residents’ quality of life, increased family satisfaction, and fostered greater pride and collaboration within the team.”

By offering a wide variety of engaging programs and welcoming the broader community in, we help residents stay deeply connected to their peers, families and interests.

Happy B.C. Day from all of us at Greystone Manor Retirement Residence. ☀️

Long weekends are the opportunity to slow down, enjoy the warmth of the season, and appreciate the simple moments. Today, we are pausing to celebrate the wonderful people, beautiful spaces, and warm connections that make our community feel truly like home.
