When searching for the right retirement home, the size and bustle of some large multi-storey communities can feel overwhelming.

For many seniors, the ideal retirement residence setting is one that offers the safety, security and convenience, but with the quiet comfort and easy connections of a tight-knit neighborhood.

That unique blend and sense of community is what defines Highlands Retirement Residence, located in Kelowna’s North Glenmore neighbourhood, where residents enjoy a safe environment for walking and exploring the nature around them.

“Our prime location is in a quiet residential neighbourhood, with safe roadways and walkways, for our seniors to be out strolling our beautiful grounds, or exploring with their scooters,” says property manager Cindy Makarenko, who has been involved with the Highlands for more than 27 years. “We all feel very safe living and working here.”

“This sense of security is amplified by the residence’s compact, single-storey design, with 56 suites spread across our two-acre beautifully landscaped, gated property, with 24/7 staff on duty at all times.”

“We continue to grow like a large family, as our new and existing residents form new friendships and connections with each other,” Makarenko notes.

The smaller and unique retirement facility means residents and staff see each other regularly, fostering a deeper sense of trust, stability and community.

“Some special amenities our residents love is nature right at their doorsteps, while easily maintaining their independence at their leisure,” Makarenko adds.

With a cottage-style living environment, the suites open directly to the outdoors, offering lovely views of the Wilden and Glenmore neighbourhoods.

“From the inviting surroundings, to the activities created by our dedicated team, we’re committed to providing a thriving and caring environment for the health and well-being of our residents,” Makarenko says.

Beyond the leisure and recreation, Highlands residents enjoy home-style meals prepared by a professional chef, and a pet-friendly environment that welcomes their four-legged best friend, too.

For Kelowna and seniors in the surrounding areas, seeking an intimate, secure and affordable place to call home, contact Highlands Retirement Residence or visit them at 400 Snowsell St. N., Kelowna.
