Why does being Canadian and family-owned matter in senior care?

For us, care is personal. Founded in 1993 by Al and Jenny Jina, Park Place Seniors Living has remained proudly Canadian-owned and family-led for over 30 years.

Being both Canadian and family owned means leadership is closely connected to every residence, and we make every decision based on our residents’ needs.

We make sure our care teams are supported and equipped to provide the best care possible. In turn, they are able to take the time to get to know each resident on a personal level, so everyone in our community feels seen and valued.

And because we stay connected at every level, each community reflects a deep understanding of the people it serves. No two are exactly alike, and that’s intentional.

Each month, we highlight a STRIVE story from across our community. These stories reflect what we stand for as an organization and showcase how we strive for excellence in everything we do, through meaningful connection, clear communication, and exceptional senior care.

Across the Park Place communities, we value creating an environment where residents feel welcomed and able to be themselves. Thoughtful programming allows everyone to make new friends, get creative, and have fun. When activities are designed around residents’ personal interests and abilities, they feel more included, and our community is strengthened.

This month’s STRIVE story is from Shaughnessy Seniors Community in Port Coquitlam:

The recreation department underwent a major transformation, introducing a vibrant calendar of activities such as baking, pet therapy, church services, Bingo, breakfast and lunch clubs, happy hours, ice cream socials, high tea, live entertainment, garden walks, bus outings, and specialized dementia programming. Community connections were expanded by welcoming local students for performances and sing-alongs. Sonia’s creative leadership was instrumental in driving these enhancements, which have significantly improved residents’ quality of life, increased family satisfaction, and fostered greater pride and collaboration within the team.

We’re excited to be celebrating Al and Jenny Jina, founders of Park Place, and recipients of the 2025 Ed Helfrich Long-Service Excellence Award.

Presented by the BC Care Providers Association, this award recognizes more than 30 years of dedication to transforming seniors’ care across Canada.

Al and Jenny founded Park Place with the belief that seniors deserve to feel respected, valued, and at home. That belief continues to shape our communities every day. We’re grateful for their leadership and the example they’ve set for the entire Park Place family.

Transitions can bring a lot of questions. What will everyday life look like when a little extra help is part of the picture? What can I expect?

At Courtyard Terrace Seniors Community we make sure every resident is cared for and supported in a way that feels respectful and dignifying. Residents continue to enjoy their daily routines in a safe environment that feels like home.

Personalized care is available whenever it’s needed, whether that’s assistance with daily tasks, medication support, or simply a steady presence nearby.

The first few weeks after you or your loved one move in are focused on settling in. Our care teams take the time to learn preferences, routines, and personal history, so each resident feels known. Families are included in that process, with open communication and partnership.

With the right support in place, everyday life can continue with familiarity and reassurance.

This Family Day, we’re celebrating all of the families that make up our Park Place community: our Residents and their loved ones, friends who feel like family, and the teams who care for our Residents with warmth and respect each day.

These relationships shape our community and help everyone feel supported and connected, every day.

As a family-owned business, family has always been at the heart of everything we do.
