Lakeside Gardens

About Lakeside Gardens

Life at Lakeside Gardens feels unhurried and full of possibility. Nestled at 3789 Royal Oak Ave in Burnaby, BC, Lakeside Gardens is a welcoming seniors community offering both retirement home and assisted living options in a setting that genuinely feels like home.

Living Options & Care Levels

Lakeside Gardens serves seniors at two distinct stages of their journey. For those who are largely independent but are ready to leave behind the responsibilities of home ownership, the retirement home option provides a comfortable, maintenance-free lifestyle with access to all the community's amenities and services. For seniors who benefit from a bit more day-to-day support, assisted living is available to help with personal care and daily routines while still encouraging independence and dignity. Both options are designed to give residents and their families confidence that the right level of support is always close at hand.

What You'll Love About Living Here

Each day at Lakeside Gardens can be shaped exactly the way a resident wants it. Mornings might begin with a nourishing meal in one of the dining rooms, where three chef-prepared meals are served daily. For a more intimate occasion, the private dining room offers a quieter setting to share a meal with family or friends. After breakfast, residents might head to the fitness and wellness centre for some light exercise, take a refreshing swim in the pool, or simply settle into the fireplace lounge with a good book borrowed from the library. The technology centre keeps residents connected with loved ones near and far, while the spa and hair salon offer a little pampering whenever the mood strikes. Afternoons come alive in the activity room, where card games, bingo, and bridge club bring neighbours together, or in the billiards and games room for a more casual kind of fun. When the weather is welcoming, the outdoor terrace, patio, and beautifully maintained gardens and grounds invite residents to step outside and enjoy the fresh air. Organized excursions and outings add variety and a sense of adventure to the week. Worship services provide spiritual grounding for those who value that connection. Practical day-to-day needs are taken care of through general housekeeping, linen and towel service, and laundry and dry cleaning services, so residents can focus on living rather than managing. Cats, dogs, and other beloved companions are welcome here, because Lakeside Gardens understands how important pets are to a sense of home.

Why Residents Choose Lakeside Gardens

Families searching for a seniors community want to know that their loved one is safe, supported, and genuinely cared for every single day. At Lakeside Gardens, 24-hour emergency response and on-site staff available at all times mean that help is never far away. This consistent, round-the-clock presence gives both residents and their families a steady sense of reassurance. Beyond safety, the community's all-inclusive approach removes the guesswork and financial unpredictability that can come with a la carte care arrangements. Wellness programs keep residents active and engaged, while the broad range of social and recreational opportunities ensures that life here remains vibrant and purposeful. Residents who choose Lakeside Gardens are choosing a place where they are known by name, where their routines are respected, and where the community grows richer the longer they are part of it.
