About Rosewood

Rosewood by Nikoniko is a small Assisted Living community in Burnaby where residents receive personalized care in a warm, home-like environment.

We believe that caring for seniors is not simply a job.

It is about listening, noticing the small things, respecting each person's life and helping residents live with dignity.

Our care philosophy is influenced by the Japanese values of respect, attentiveness, kindness and hospitality (omotenashi), together with Canadian professional care practices.

Why Choose Rosewood?

If you have previous caregiving or health care experience from another country, we understand that starting a career in Canada can take time.

At Rosewood, we value the skills, life experience and cultural perspectives that newcomers bring to the workplace.
