FOR THE ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
STATE-OF-THE-ART CULINARY TEA
A COMMUNITY WELL-BUILT
Who hasn’t dreamed of an idyllic retirement? It’s what we all work so hard for. And when that day comes, we want to live out the dream: awakening to ocean views, joining our friends for social and leisurely pursuits, eating well and in good company, and feeling like a valuable member of the community. And now, in White Rock, that dream is within reach.
Oceana PARC, which opened in September, is not your typical retirement home. Its calm, open spaces adorned with nautical decor reflect its seaside location. “You will not find traditional dark colours and grandiose furniture here but rather cozy, modern, yet welcoming furnishings and bright smiles,” says Shelley Grenier, general manager.
The 23-storey condo building offers ocean views to the south, and mountain views to the north, but even more importantly, it provides an array of amenities that truly elevate retirement living. “All of our amenities are popular and one of the reasons people choose Oceana PARC, whether it’s our world class fitness centre, the various dining venues, the programs and services that promote a healthy and active lifestyle with friends or the various niches where you can read a book and just enjoy the sunshine,” Grenier says.
And who hasn’t dreamed of having access to their own state-of-the-art culinary team? “PARC residents can choose where and when to dine,” says Grenier, “either in the casual Sea Breeze Cafe or Salish Sea fine dining room, or grab a bite and specialty coffee at the Driftwood Grab and Go, or belly up to the bar at the Sea Breeze Lounge and take advantage of our unique appie menu.”
FOR THE ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
Oceana PARC is specifically designed for active lifestyles — and that applies to both body and mind.
It offers the largest seniors’-only gym in BC with fitness classes for a variety of levels, personal training, circuit training, Nymble classes focusing on physical and cognitive fitness, pole walking and an infinity walking loop accessible year-round. Staff includes Wellness Nurse who promotes health education.
PARC Retirement Living, the parent company of Oceana PARC, plans to open its PARC Fit & Wellness Centre to the public early next year. Classes include: yoga, slider disk, bender ball, circuit training and personal training with state of the art equipment.
Residents can round out the mind-body connection with art workshops, meditation classes, movies in the on-site theatre as well as billiards and cards in the games room. They also organize weekly outings to make the most of the surrounding community. “PARC is ideal for independent seniors who are looking for a sense of community with like-minded individuals,” Grenier says. “The most important factor for me is fit. Individuals who are young at heart, active and want to be engaged in the community would benefit most from living at Oceana PARC.”
A COMMUNITY WELL-BUILT
“Before our doors opened, we hosted and supported many events for community members and future residents,” Grenier says.
Since its opening, Oceana PARC has contributed to many local organizations, including a $1.2 million donation made to the Peace Arch Hospital Foundation earlier this year. “We also ensure PARC Retirement Living is represented on many local committees serving the best interests of our residents, including the boards of the Business Improvement Association, the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce and the Seniors Planning Table to name a few,” Grenier says.
Building and belonging to a thriving community was important before the doors even opened.
