Love Astoria! From the first steps in the door we knew this was the place for Dad. The decor, the facilities, the rooms, and especially the friendliness, both of staff and residents, made Astoria stand out above all other residences. The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us and make Dad welcome. The pricetag is high, but the quality is excellent.
I HAD SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER CARE HOMES FOR MY MOM, WHEN WE SAW MAGNOLIA GARDENS AND SAW A SUITE. IT MATCHED HER NEEDS PERFECTELY. THE STAFF IS VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. SHE HAS ALOT TO DO EVERYDAY. SHE LOVES THE FOOD, ROAD TRIPS, LIVE MUSIC, BINGO, ETC.I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR A VERY CARING PLACE TO PLACE THIER LOVED ONE..
The staff members at Derby Manor are very good especially the ladies who work after breakfast, they are wonderful. They know everyone's name and what they like for breakfast, but it would be nice to have more home styled cooking like stews and casseroles. I am not much of a joiner but from speaking to the other residents here they all seem quite happy with the activities.

Nearly all seniors living in independent living communities in Vancouver made their choice to be free of nearly all the responsibilities of home ownership. Even if their spouse or roommate has a different level of care than they do, independent living communities have the services and amenities needed to help each person stay as active and as independent as possible. While health and wellness is the main focus of independent living communities in Vancouver, most do offer transportation to and from personal appointments or housekeeping services to help seniors keep up with their personal chores in their residence.
Some of the following services and amenities are offered by many independent living communities in Vancouver:
Vancouver is a thriving city full of attractions and activities for seniors to enjoy.
Museums and historic places – If you like taking group or bus trips, you will enjoy exploring the buildings and sights that once held the 2010 Winter Olympic games. Art lovers will enjoy a trip to the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Exercise and sport activities – Many local senior centers or community education programs have classes available to help seniors stay active and on the move. If playing sports is your thing, then perhaps a soccer team is right for you. If you enjoy something a little less strenuous, then perhaps yoga or dance classes are right for you. A variety of fitness classes, including strength training, is available to focus on balance and agility.
Games and crafts – Creative seniors and craft lovers will enjoy the opportunity to write a story or poem with a writing group, or knit a blanket or design a beautiful oil painting. However, if arts and crafts are not your thing, there is always card games or board games. Catch up with a group of friends while playing Bridge or even a game of Monopoly.
Sports – If you enjoy spending a few hours with other sports fans taking in a game, with some pretzels or nachos, there is always the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League.
