Lake Bonavista Village

This is an older complex, well maintain and clean. Has an air of old world elegance. A heated salt water pool that I love. Staff are wonderfully accommodating and residents have the option to be as involved in activities as they wish. Meals are served in an attractive dinning room with open seating, several choices and I can always find something that appeals to me. I have a studio and it suits me fine. This is my third downsize, could never have considered this coming from a five bedroom home. If I was still driving I would not even have looked at it - no underground parking and you are responsible for snow shovelling etc. There is a bus to take you shopping and to medical appointments. Calgary transit is at the edge of the property, something I am learning to take advantage of. This is a huge shift from private to community living, so expect bumps in the road, give yourself space. For me this works.

Very expensive and dated and small units

very nice place, [name removed] provided a tour and showed us suites etc. This was a bit more upscale than my Aunt was looking for. There was also a waiting list and at this point we wanted to get into a place early.
