As people embark on retirement, many are seeking a place where they can live an active, independent lifestyle, and where everything is taken care of.

With eight locations throughout the Okanagan Valley, Regency Retirement Resorts boasts beautiful living environments with extensive lifestyle amenities and personal services, providing active seniors an enjoyable and enriched retirement.

鈥淲e鈥檙e not a care home,鈥� emphasizes Northwood Lifestyle Consultant Denise Boury. 鈥淲e provide independent resort-style living, where active retirees can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities. Our job is to keep seniors independent for longer; to support them.鈥�

Each Regency residence has its own distinct style, designed to encourage, and promote a healthy, happy and enjoyable lifestyle.

鈥淲e recently had two couples in their 70s who didn鈥檛 need care, but simply wanted a nice place to retire where everything is taken care of,鈥� Boury says. 鈥淭hey chose to move here to Northwood, and they鈥檙e so happy!鈥�

Boury points out that while eventually everyone will require some care, Regency offers a space for seniors who are between living in their own home and needing care.

鈥淚n our culture, it seems that a lot of the time it鈥檚 about staying in your own home as long as you can, and then moving into a care home for the last few years of your life,鈥� Boury says. 鈥淭he ideal thing is to move earlier, while it鈥檚 easier physically and emotionally, and while you can still enjoy so much of what life has to offer. Without the burden or pressure of home maintenance, housekeeping and meal preparation, our residents once again thrive.鈥�

鈥淥ften you鈥檒l see folks in their 90s using every bit of their energy to stay in a home that鈥檚 too big for them, when instead they could come here and have fun!鈥�

Residents enjoy unique common areas, including wine cellars, woodworking areas, movie theatres, exercise rooms, inviting dining rooms and a diverse activity program complete with local outings and wine tours.

鈥淧artners can also move here together, and if one of them passes, the other one is already settled here, with an entire group of friends,鈥� Boury says. 鈥淭his makes it much easier and less stressful on the surviving partner.鈥�

Besides an active schedule of events and enriching activities, at Regency they also realize that dining and nutrition are essential components of the retirement lifestyle.

Delivering a first-class dining experience, creative chefs prepare tasty, nutritious offerings, enjoyed by residents in elegant dining rooms with good friends.

鈥淧eople don鈥檛 know what they鈥檙e missing,鈥� Boury says. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to cook or clean, and if you do need some assistance with daily needs, there are many affordable options available to you.鈥�

鈥淟iterally all you have to do at Northwood is dust 鈥� it鈥檚 like being on a cruise!鈥�
