Response from the owner 6 months agoHi Simon, Thank you for giving some well-deserved praise to Val, Lynda, and Lisa! We couldn't do what we do without their talent and efforts and it's great (and unsurprising) that everyone else can recognize that as well.
Transitioning my sister from living on her own to assisted living was made so much easier with the help of the staff at Nanaimo Seniors Village. I don’t worry about her being alone knowing there’s always a friendly face and help available to her when she needs it!
My mom moved into NSV assisted living and she’s so happy. Lots of activities, nice rooms and friendly staff. I’m sure my mom will live longer because she’s never lonely.
This is an exceptional place for our mom, the staff are excellent and go so beyond in all that they do. It feels like home in so many ways and is safe, social and a fabulous place to live. I think it can be a hard transition for older people but I think they end up surprised how wonderful it is to b...

The staff were very caring with lots of interaction, and truly made their lives full of activities and opportunities. Our Dad even redis...
Our Mom's health was becoming too much for us to assist and have her live independently so we did quite a bit of research looking at multiple locations in Nanaimo. Nanaimo Senior Village was the most welcoming, friendly place we visited. The suites are spacious and very well kept, everything is clea...
At age 78 I didn’t see myself in assisted living. I was a healthy, active, very alive senior! Then I fell, broke my hip and my life changed. After some due diligence my daughter- in-law found Nanaimo Seniors Village. The transition was fairly smooth given that we were moving from a large two bedroo...
