“I’m proud to have been part of a design process where consideration for people with dementia always came first. We’ve set the stage for healthy and stimulating interactions between residents, staff, family members and visitors.”
“I’ve been involved in the design and construction of 21 seniors’ projects, housing over 2,500 residents. The Village is the next evolution of where dementia treatment is going.”
The Village is the product of a partnership between Canbrit, a family-owned developer and owner, and Verve Senior Living, the day-to-day operations manager. The two companies have more than 40 years of experience in the seniors care home business in Canada, and The Village is their fourth collaboration in Greater Vancouver.
Verve has built and currently manages 34 seniors residences across Canada, and has been recognized repeatedly for award-winning quality of care, notably winning the Order of Excellence from the National Quality Institute.
Freedom isn’t just for residents of The Village.
