Greystone Manor Retirement Residence

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 our Park Place locations, Residents love being involved in their communities. We believe each of our residents should feel seen, known, and included, so we offer activities and events that appeal to a variety of interests.

This month’s STRIVE story is from The Residence at Orchards Walk in Kamloops:
This vibrant community fosters connection and joy through a variety of engaging activities. Residents delight in visits from local daycare children, especially during special occasions like Easter and Halloween, which bring excitement and happiness to all. Gardening is a shared effort, with staff and Residents working together to maintain beautiful flower boxes on the patio, instilling pride and a sense of accomplishment. New Residents are welcomed each summer with monthly Meet & Mingle events, featuring coffee and homemade cookies, helping everyone feel included and part of the community. Additionally, the weekly Ice Cream Socials offer a simple yet joyful way for Residents and staff to bond and enjoy warm afternoons together. These traditions strengthen relationships, encourage teamwork, and create a welcoming, supportive environment for all.
