We’re offering PARC Experience stays at all of our residences across Greater Vancouver and the North Shore. You wouldn’t buy a car without a test drive, and retirement living should be no different. But unlike trial stays offered at other senior living communities, the PARC Experience is completely immersive, allowing a minimum of two days to a week – all complimentary and no commitment required.

Come and experience PARC for yourself! Get to know the plush comforts of our modern suites, the delicious flavours of our chef-prepared meals, the beauty of our manicured grounds, the lively fun of our fitness class, the pleasure of socializing with new friends in our cozy communal spaces – and so much more. We’ll be delighted to host you!

Benefits of the PARC Experience stay

A true taste of our lifestyle. Many people have preconceived notions about senior living or they’re uncertain about whether we’re the right fit. They might wonder, “What if I don’t meet any friends?” or “What if I don’t like the food?” Well, there’s no need to wonder when you can experience our vibrant social scene and delicious meals for yourself! As another example, some seniors worry they won’t be comfortable living in an apartment coming from a detached home. The PARC Experience allows them to try out our ultra-comfortable suites, plus see how seamlessly our common areas form an extended part of their new home.
Peace of mind for family members. Many adult children find comfort in this opportunity to confirm that their senior parent will be safe, well-fed, healthy and happy at PARC. Often, it’s such a contrast to recent struggles at home, where the senior is no longer managing well, that it lifts a mental burden they didn’t even know they were carrying. They quickly realize how effortless and enjoyable PARC life will be for their senior family member.
No risk or cost. If you decide you like it here, you can stay. It’s as simple as that. If you decide it’s not for you, or it’s not the right time, you don’t owe us a thing.
