‘ There comes a time in all our lives
when our family leaves home and the
house that once was small suddenly
becomes too big: Many seniors choose
a'smaller home as.they become bus
with extended : family, traveling,
exploring new hobbies and/or simply
taking it easy.

~ While some retirees choose to move
into a smailer townhome or condo-
minium, more and more individuals
are choosing to reside in ‘full service’
retirement homes.

More seniors are moving into full
service retirement homes because they
require more from their home than
just low maintenance living. This is
especially true if an individual is liv-
ing alone and is looking for more
social interaction than what is provid-
ed in a townhouse or condominium
environment.

But everyone has their own person-
al reasons for moving into a retirement
residence. For some, the tasks of tak-
ing care of the garden or shopping for
groceries has become too difficult or
tedious. For others, it's simply because
they are tired of having to have to cook
all the time. Many enjoy the luxury of
not having to have to do their laundry
and. housekeeping any more. Some
move for safety and security reasons.

One retirement residence that is
leading the way in the senior housing
market is Rideau Manor. Located at
1850 Rosser Avenue, the building was
designed specifically with seniors in
mind.

Developed by Bossa Bros. of Burna-
by, who also constructed the New
Westminster Quay, the decor is French
Provincial, hence the name, Rideau
Manor. “The residence has a very
peaceful feeling yet bright and fresh at
the same time,” says Operations Man-
ager Shaila Manji.

The second floor dining room is tru-
ly divine. A-small dance floor and wail
to wall windows on both the east and
west sides give the dining room that

special ambiance. The large land-:

scaped patio which extends off the
east side of the dining room is perfect
for barbecues, The large back lawn is
ideal for croquet or to refine one’s golf
skills.

Rideau Manor is easily accessible
from all parts of the Lower Mainland.
Only 20 minutes from downtown
Vancouver and within one block of
shops, medical facilities, church, pub-
lic tansportation, and other commu-
nity services. As one resident stated:
“Every convenience you can imagine
is at your doorstep.”

Manji says she “believes in helping a
person maintain their independence,
not taking it away.” Rideau Manor is
designed to encourage seniors to
maintain a full and enjoyable lifestyle.
No detail which might add to the qual-
ity and enjoyment of life has been
overlooked.

As one of the residents commented:
“A retirement residence is the last
place I thought I’d be, because I
thought | was too young, But moving
here was one of the best decisions in
my life. I kick myself for not doing it
sooner.”

Manager of Recreation, Shelte
Wells, takes great pride in planning all
of the varied social and recreation
events for the Manor. From dances,
card games, and bingo to craft and
fitness classes, there is always some-
thing to keep you busy if one chooses.

In addition, the convenience of a
20 seater mini-coach makes trips and
weekly shopping a nice luxury. In fact,
family and friends are welcome to
accompany residents on any of the
trips at no additional charge (What a
deal!), A monthly newsletter informs
residents of the social and recreation
activities.

The building is professionally
staffed 24-hours a day. At the rin;
