Your Questions About Life at Bethshan Gardens, Answered
Everything you need to know about independent living at Bethshan Gardens — our affordable, non-profit senior housing residence nestled in the heart of Cloverdale, Surrey BC. Can't find your answer? Just ask us.
Getting Started
Independent living is housing for seniors who can live on their own but want the convenience of home-cooked meals, housekeeping, and a built-in community — without the medical care found in assisted living or nursing homes. At Bethshan Gardens in Cloverdale, that means a private suite plus daily meals, activities, and support, with no clinical care on-site.
Yes. Bethshan Gardens is owned and operated by the Cloverdale Seniors' Housing Society, a registered non-profit that has served seniors in Cloverdale for over 50 years. Because it's non-profit, rent stays focused on covering the true cost of care and community rather than shareholder profit — part of why it's known as an affordable non-profit senior living option in Surrey.
Pricing & Affordability
Bethshan Gardens offers all-inclusive monthly rent that bundles suite rent, daily meals, utilities, housekeeping, and activities into one predictable payment, with rates varying by suite size. Because the residence is run by a non-profit housing society, rates are typically lower than comparable private-pay retirement residences in Surrey and Langley.See current suite pricing on our Living Here page →
