Shannon Oaks - Vancouver

Imagine starting each morning with a chef-prepared breakfast, spending the afternoon in the garden or joining a fitness class, and ending the day surrounded by neighbours who have become friends. That is the everyday reality at Shannon Oaks, an all-inclusive retirement community located at 2526 Waverley Ave in South Vancouver, BC. Operated by Baptist Housing, Shannon Oaks brings together comfort, connection, and care in a setting that truly feels like home from the moment you arrive.

Living Options & Care Levels

Shannon Oaks Vancouver is designed to support seniors at different stages of their later years, offering four distinct care types under one community umbrella. Independent Living is the heart of the Shannon Oaks experience, where residents enjoy a fully all-inclusive lifestyle with meals, housekeeping, and a rich calendar of activities included in a single monthly rate. This option suits active seniors who value their independence but appreciate the ease and social richness that comes with community living. For those who require some help with daily tasks such as personal care or medication management, Assisted Living provides that added layer of support while still encouraging residents to maintain as much independence as possible. Long-Term Care is available for seniors with more complex or ongoing medical needs, ensuring that those who require consistent, higher-level support have access to professional care within a respectful and dignified environment. Shannon Oaks also operates as a Retirement Home, making it a welcoming destination for seniors who are ready to step into a community-focused lifestyle where the details of daily living are thoughtfully taken care of.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Daily life at Shannon Oaks is shaped by a remarkable range of amenities that give residents both structure and freedom. Three home-cooked meals are served each day by a professional culinary team in a warm and welcoming dining room, with fresh-baked snacks available throughout the day for those moments when a little something extra is welcome. For special occasions, a private dining room can be reserved so residents can celebrate with family and friends in a more intimate setting. Beyond dining, each day offers plenty of ways to stay active and engaged. Fitness classes keep residents moving, while the billiards and games room, arts and crafts space, and technology centre give everyone a place to pursue their interests. Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the beautiful outdoor spaces and greenhouse, and those who love getting out into the city can join organized excursions and outings. The spa and hair salon make it easy to feel your best without leaving the building, and worship services offer a meaningful sense of spiritual community for those who value that connection. Each private suite includes a personal kitchenette, large windows, and an in-suite emergency call system, and residents are welcome to furnish their space with their own belongings to make it truly their own. Weekly housekeeping, including linen laundering, ensures that the practical side of life is handled, leaving residents free to focus on what they enjoy most. Guest suites are available for visiting family members, and undercover parking adds everyday convenience for residents and visitors alike.
