    I feel so fortunate to have joined the Opal and to be living in this stressfree and most attractive environment ! I love the multi-age concept and the diverse culture atmosphere here . The buildings are full of light and delightful art ,a lovely dining room with interesting menu choices , comfortable seating areas to enjoy conversations with interesting residents . Lots of choices of activities to join , makes life interesting ! But what is most important to me is the staff and their welcoming , helpful and fun attitude with everyone they deal with ..... I feel very much at home at the Opal , thankyou , Lynn Eyton

    I was looking for an intergenerational community with Independent Living and licensed care options for my husband, who needs a licensed care suite, and me. I couldn't find a suitable community until my friend Stanley introduced OPAL to me. OPAL Licensed Care suites have 24-hour registered nurses, a team of healthcare aids, a rehab assistant, onsite physicians, recreation assistants, and an onsite dietician. I love OPAL recreation classes like gym, Zumba, Tai Chi, dance expressions, and bus tours. I have my favorites food in OPAL: double-boiled soup, Shanghaiese, and Cantonese food.
