Seniors Housing in Chilliwack – Five Things to Look For in a Retirement Home

Mike Catherall
Choosing a retirement home can be a big decision. So it´s important to do a little research before jumping in. Breaking things down to the essentials makes your search a little easier.

Here are 5 things to look for in a retirement home.

1. Does my care home provide three meals a day?

Not all seniors housing and adult care facilities provide three delicious meals a day. In fact, few of them provide a personal kitchen. Make sure you don´t spend half your time waiting in line for one meal a day. Your seniors housing should include breakfast, lunch and dinner.

2. Is it safe?

Your independent living retirement community should be the safest place in your world. Make sure your care home provides 24-hour security and a Medic Alert System

3. How new are the facilities?

One of the advantages of moving into a brand-new facility is that everything is built to the latest Building Code Standard. After all new is better than used? Also, isn´t it nice to sleep in a bedroom that has never been slept in before?

4. Is it locally owned and operated?

It is important to be heard when it comes to changes you´d like to see in your facility. Local ownership means that there is someone from Chilliwack that can address your needs right away. Retirement homes with head offices in Toronto or even the United States can bury your needs in paperwork and bureaucracy.


5. How expensive is it?

Seniors housing in Chilliwack and adult care can run up to $5000 a month! It doesn´t need to be so expensive. Look around for more cost-effective alternatives. You should be able to find specials that include one bedroom suite, meals and housekeeping for a little over $1600 a month.

What Auburn Offers.

Auburn Retirement Residences offers a scrumptious breakfast, lunch and dinner menu – it also has a 50s-themed diner to enjoy snacks with friends during the day and for maximum flexibility, all suites have state-of-the-art kitchen, complete with a brand-new oven, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer and dishwasher should you choose to enjoy a solitary meal, or cook a private dinner for a friend.

Your own Private Laundry in every suite!

Finally, Auburn is a brand-new facility. Everything is modern, everything works. Brand-new. Just for you!

But the best part is the price. For $1650/month, you can enjoy 3 meals a day, 24-hour security, and housekeeping. It just keeps getting better.
