Newly built in 2020, Wisteria Place is an Independent Seniors’ living community in the spectacular waterfront community of Steveston, BC. We are in the heart of Richmond, next to the Steveston Buddhist Temple and Steveston Park.
Through our four central values—Compassion, Curiosity, Purposefulness, and Harmony—Wisteria Place emerges as a leader in senior communities. Our unique approach is specially engineered to foster authentic, meaningful lives. Wisteria Place has been recognized by Richmond News as one of the Best Senior Homes in Richmond.
We offer Independent Living options for seniors.
We are delighted to be nominated for 2025 Workplace of the Year by BC Care Providers Association. Our community of team members shows up every day with care, dedication, and heart; supporting one another and the people we serve. This nomination is a reflection of their commitment, compassion, and the positive workplace culture they help create.
