Cogir at The Quarry

The Quarry Senior Living is our place of choice when the day comes. It?s beautiful. The rooms were sparkling clean and nicer than anything that we?d ever looked at. The grounds were much better; the staff was very professional. They had a very nice ambience. It was just upscale. None of the places that we looked at comparatively were even close.

My husband has already moved into The Quarry, and they are outstanding. They are kind of specialized in Parkinson’s disease, so they have a lot of care for Parkinson’s, a lot of classes, support groups, and all that. He has a nice one-bedroom apartment on the main floor that has a little patio outside, so when I take the dog over, the dog can visit. The food is very good.

I’m living at The Quarry. It is a very high-end place. The community has independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The food is excellent sometimes, not every day, but mostly, it is very good. I’ve been here for four years. We have exercise classes and something to do inside and outside the building every single day, so you have very good options.

The Quarry Assisted Living was very nice but expensive. It was clean, professional, and had a lot to offer. As a matter of fact, I am on a waitlist. They had a pool, exercise equipment, a theater, card rooms, and a coffee shop. The food is very good. The room is large and well appointed. It's really very nice. They had all kinds of activities, like people coming in to entertain once a week and trips. The staff was very helpful, professional, and easy to please.

I am in an assisted facility right now. I think I am going to stay here for a while. There were a number of reasons why I chose The Quarry, but mainly because it was highly recommended. The staff is good, and the rooms are good. I have a two-bedroom unit. They have a wide variety of activities.

We looked at The Quarry Senior Living, and it was very nice, but it was smack down in the middle of a congested area. When you opened the window and looked out, all you could see were other buildings. There was only one person that we were seeing, and that was a lady in the sales group or whatever you called it, and she was very nice. A man was moving out of the room that we would have been interested in if it was not in that location. However, it was a very nice place. We had lunch there, and the food was excellent. It was very good and well prepared. I don't know what activities they had, but they had a room where people could go in and play cards or whatever they wanted to. Some people might like being right in the middle of a big shopping area, but we do not.

I have seen several facilities and one of them was The Quarry Senior Living. The staff were very helpful and in fact they took me there by car. They came and picked me up and took me there and that was very nice. They had all kinds of activities, but I am going back there to see more of the facility. It's really a huge place.

I have spent my entire adult life in the health care field, and was an emergency medical dispatcher for over 8 years, so I and my family are far more knowledgeable consumers than most. Both of my parents have lived at The Quarry for four years, starting out in independent living, then assisted living as needs warranted, and now in memory care and the enhanced unit. This is the best facility I have ever run across. The staff make certain, in spite of their now being in separate units, that my parents get to spend lots of time together. They have bus outings twice a week, a full service salon, outstanding food that families can join their loved ones to eat (we do frequently), tons of fun activities that families are always invited to, and staff that honestly cares about the residents and their families. Our family could not be happier with this facility, and we are there visiting multiple times a week. They listen to us, and go out of their way to meet the personal needs of every resident, while still respecting their need to be themselves. I would recommend the Quarry to anyone looking for secure, quality care for a loved one at any stage of need. In fact, our retired doctor visited and he and his family were so impressed that he moved in too, and now loves it there. The Quarry will not disappoint on any level.

Great facility for independent living with costs on the high end of the comparitable residences in the area. 4% increase in Jan 2012 with short notice given to residents of just months as well those of several years residence in a nation wide poor economic climate. Assisted living does not provide adequate support by qualified care givers which amounted to neglect and deterioration of the resident's health and well being. This was witnessed several times, addressed but nothing changed except the charges for extra care that was needed but not given. The resident has been moved to a new facility and is thriving with proper care.

The facility looks lovely, requires you to wait for door to be opened, in evening that could take a few minutes sometimes 5 or more. Employees are cheerful and outgoing. Menu choices have been changed to include more starches, but tastes good. My grandmother was a resident here. What I loved about this place was the interaction my grandmother had with staff and other residents. Everyone was so kind and compassionate to each and every person they came across. The rooms that the residents live in are quite spacious and are very uniquely designed. They have a modern yet classical touch to them and have easily accessible amenities within the room, including an intercom system that connects to various departments within the assisted living facility. The place is really amazing and seniors are always happy there. The view is impeccable as you can see the flowers, plants are gorgeous greenery. The main dining hall is reminiscent of a grand dining restaurant. I think The Quarry Assisted Living is a fantastic place to stay, and I know that my grandma had enjoyed her time spent there.

My father has lived there for a little over a year. This is perhaps the least clinical senior place in Vancouver- it feels more like a hotel. In addition to well appointed dining halls, there is a formal restaurant and a grill (snack bat and espresso bar) which are open for 12 hours a day- which means you can show up and simply have dinner when you would like with your parent- and there's something to go out to when the weather is too bad to actually go out. They a have a movie theater and live entertainment and movies. They also have a staff-and some of these places have half a crew. In this case, The Quarry has separate medical, food service and care teams - and that means there's a deep bench of people there to help day or night. The food is restaurant quality- hand made and fresh ingredients. There's always an RN on sight, and there's basically two pretty complete medical stations- and they can do quite a bit there without you having to go to the doctor. Yes- its not cheap. But if your parents can do this, it means this is a great place for them - and its not a depressing place for you. They have five levels of care, so they can take you through much of the aging process (some places basically cannot help you beyond a certain point.) Finally its locally owned - and you can tell.

The Quarry is what you make of it. You can stay in your apartment all day and miss out on all there is to do and feel depressed and neglected. Or you can spend the day taking advantage of all the quality and interesting activities offered by the outstanding staff. Whatever your interest there is an activity to fulfill your desires. The staff knows your name and always acknowledges you when you walk around the Quarry. The food is well planned and you never get bored with the many selections. The exercise programs are made for all levels of health and offered every day of the week. Kathy (fitness director) makes exercise fun! I am happy and proud to live in such a lovely place.

Food is awful.

The building and grounds are very attractive. I saw only one apartment with the approval of the residents. It was spacious and beautifully appointed. I shared a meal in the dining room with the marketing director that was very good. The menu is extensive. The community is dog friendly. There are many activites available both in house and for groups that travel. There is no buy-in. Luxury is a good word.
