Live Well,
Stay Active.
Services and Amenities
We believe that life enrichment should encompass all dimensions of wellness: emotional, social, spiritual, educational, and physical. Our diverse activities cater to your individual needs and preferences, allowing you to choose how you want to spend your time.
Care and Support Staff
Our dedicated care and support staff are the heart of Cypress View Foundation. They are committed to providing compassionate and professional care to all residents. Our team includes one-site Healthcare Aids, Housekeeping Staff, Activity Coordinators, Maintenance Team, and Administrative Staff.
Church Services
Held in our on-site chapel and led by local church representatives, our church services offer a peaceful and spiritual experience. These services provide an opportunity for reflection, worship, and community connection. All residents are welcome to attend, regardless of their faith background, fostering a sense of inclusivity and support.
Interactive Programs
Enhance your social activity and well-being with our interactive programs, including games, music, arts & crafts, social events, and seasonal celebrations. These programs are designed to promote physical health, mental stimulation, and social connection. Each program is a fun and engaging way to stay active and connected.
Community Volunteers
Our community thrives thanks to the dedication of over 40 “in-house” volunteers, making up a quarter of our residents. These volunteers enrich both their own lives and those they assist by contributing in various meaningful ways. They work in the tuck shop, help organize and run activities, assist with decorating for special occasions, and participate in gardening projects. Additionally, our volunteers are actively involved in Resident Club programs, the Resident Council, and the coordination of our community library.
Gardening Group
Participate in gardening activities with raised beds for easy access. Our Gardening Group allows you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening without the strain. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a beginner, you’ll find joy in planting, nurturing, and harvesting a variety of plants. It’s a wonderful way to connect with nature and fellow gardening enthusiasts.
Live Music and Guest Speakers
Dance your evenings and weekends away or simply enjoy listening to the 20+ volunteer bands who regularly perform at Cypress View Foundation. Our community also enjoys performances from the Veiner Centre Singers, The Veiner Liners (line dancers), and seasonal concerts by local elementary schools and music students. Throughout the year, we also host a variety of informative speakers who present on relevant topics and are designed to keep our community informed, safe, and healthy.
