A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
The Village of Tansley Woods vs. Delmanor Glen Abbey

THE VILLAGE OF TANSLEY WOODS

Tansley Woods is ideal for a variety of people. Older adults who currently live alone love that they can have all their housework and meals taken care of, and can find friends to talk to just outside the door. For seniors who are advancing in age, there are customized levels of care focused exactly on their needs. The community here is warm and inviting.

DELMANOR GLEN ABBEY

Delmanor Glen Abbey is obviously ideal if you love golfing or want to settle close to family in Oakville, but there’s much more to life here! It’s rich with luxury amenities and accommodations that people in later years find an absolute treat. Popular features include The Greenhouse Potting Room, the Serenity Spa, a movie theatre, and many more. Delmanor's ambassador program helps new community members feel right at home. Residents we've spoken to enjoy Glen Abbey's gardening outside and exercise room inside, among other things to do. It's an elegant experience, in both the shared spaces and the privacy of your suite.

I visit frequently and always find the staff welcoming and friendly. That is so important for your residence. Thank you for your good care.

Very friendly and pleasant staff. You feel very satisfied knowing that your friend is being well taken care of. Keep up the great work, especially on the second floor, for long-term assistance.

Always a very positive experience at Tansley!!

The staff here are truly caring and dedicated, and they've made a huge difference in my Stepmother's life. She's thrived since moving in, and it's clear the care provided goes far beyond the occasional mechanical hiccup. Perhaps we can balance our feedback with a bit more understanding and kindness, especially when it comes to issues that don't reflect the facility's overall quality of care.

Tansley Woods has amazing staff. It's always very clean, and they take great care of my grandmother.

DELMANOR GLEN ABBEY

I recently stayed at Delmanor after having hip surgery. The unit I stayed in was clean, bright, and accessible. I found all the staff were cheerful, welcoming, and most even remembered my name after a few days. It was good to have 24hr nursing available as well as a physiotherapist on staff. I found the food was quite good with plenty of choices, and it was nice that the servers had iPads to show what the selections looked like. As for getting out for a walk, the streets nearby are level with light traffic; the nearby Monastery Bakery and Deli is a good destination if you want any special food items. I enjoyed my time at Delmanor and would be happy to recommend this location for either a short or long stay.

My grandmother has been a resident for two years. We had Christmas dinner on-site this evening. I can't say enough about the staff. Always friendly, always smiling, and wonderful. Happy holidays, Delmanor. Thank you all.

I had the pleasure of visiting Delmanor Retirement House as a supplier, and I wanted to take a moment to thank Sean. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and went out of his way to assist me. His customer-focused approach made the experience smooth and welcoming. Thank you, Sean, for your outstanding service.

The comfort and peace of mind! We can finally sleep at night. This is an extremely good place. It's clean. All team members are kind and dedicated. They went out of their way to make Mom feel like part of the family here.

I had a lovely visit to Delmanor Glen Abbey! The team were all so friendly and welcoming. It felt like home the moment I arrived. The residents were happy and friendly as they enjoyed a variety of programs in the beautiful amenity spaces, reading in their comfy chairs or doing artwork at a table. The suites were spacious and bright. Lunch was delicious, and our friendly server Chloe, was very attentive and remembered our names! Thank you, Matthew and team, for making my day at Delmanor Glen Abbey.

THE VILLAGE OF TANSLEY WOODS

Our Village is a proud part of a Canadian family tradition of community building that goes back 70 years. The first Schlegel family home became the foundation of what Schlegel Villages is today. Here at The Village of Tansley Woods, we offer several lifestyle options to meet a variety of needs. Our continuum of care allows for residents to age with us in place as their needs change. The residents we serve come from a range of backgrounds that thread together the fabric of our community, and while we know resident-centredness is a term that many lean on these days, we truly do focus on each individual’s wishes to guide our approach to service. Our Signature Programs help us focus on the individuality of each resident we serve. Our LIVING in My Today dementia care philosophy, for example, was developed by our team and our partners alongside people with lived experience. This provides our team the opportunity to learn exactly what it means to support a person who is experiencing the changing perceptions of dementia. We also celebrate the Wisdom of the Elder as another Signature Program, thanks to the inspiration of our founder Ron Schlegel. Ron once said: “The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders,” and we honour the individual and collective wisdom of those we serve in ways large and small.

THE VILLAGE OF TANSLEY WOODS

The Village concept that sets us apart was always meant to create a living space for seniors that feels like a small town. In many ways this is similar to the experience our founder, Ron Schlegel, had growing up in Ailsa Craig outside of London, Ont. Our Main Street connects to the Town Square as the social spine of the Village. Together these spaces allow for indoor and accessible options for residents to live life as they always have. Ron also envisioned the Village as community hubs for seniors and others from the surrounding community. His vision was to connect the Village to the broader community to enhance the lives of residents as well as support those living outside the Village.

Seniors who prefer a small residence or a highly private lifestyle with minimal interaction may find another type of setting more suitable. Tansley Woods is designed around the Schlegel Villages philosophy of community living, where daily life includes shared spaces, programs, and opportunities to connect with others. Our village appeals to people who value connection, participation, and the reassurance of a full continuum of care.

New residents often say “I wish I had done this sooner!” They’re surprised by how quickly they become absorbed in the community and how fast new friendships develop. In no time at all, everybody knows their name and like in any small town, a walk down Main Street is an opportunity to connect with friends and new acquaintances. People are also surprised by opportunities offered to grow and learn in their new community. They find new passions like hosting a podcast, riding a mechanical bull, becoming an artist or fulfilling a lifelong dream of skydiving. As they say, the possibilities are endless.
