Waverly Seniors Village
The beautiful Waverly Seniors’ Village opened its doors in January 2005 providing Independent and Assisted Living services for its residents. 66 units (studio, one and two bedroom) offer a choice of either stunning BC mountain views, or pleasant courtyard scenes.
Set alongside the Waverly Care facility, the ‘village’ offers a variety of outdoor walking paths alongside landscaped gardens.
Residents are able to ‘age in place’ in the Waverly Campus of Care as their needs increase.

Some of the attractions in the Chilliwack area include Cultus Lake, Minter Gardens, Dusty’s Dino Town and the Water Slides at Bridal Falls and Cultus Lake. The surrounding mountains, lakes and rivers allow for many outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, camping, boating, kayaking and many challenging golf courses.
