In the heart of Hamilton there’s a place with heart. Staff and residents together make this an oasis of kindness and care. You see instances of this around the community as soon as you walk through. People are gathered around a table in the lounge, and other groups are found throughout the community, some sitting and chatting, others perhaps on their way out to do something together. It’s also strikingly diverse.
This retirement residence is ideal for Hamilton area seniors who love living well. Aspects that help rejuvenate residents range from fine dining to the swimming pool, and from social activities galore to the up-to-date construction. For all the wonderful features, the happiness of the people here needs to be experienced. The Meadowlands is also wonderfully located, central to the Golden Horseshoe, where family from across the province can easily visit.
My mother’s experience with Caroline Place Retirement Residence was between 2015 and 2023. Her experience, and mine as the primary family care-giver, were very good, and I am happy that my mother was able to spend the last 8 years of her life in that community. When she arrived at Caroline Place, she was a spry 90-year-old still playing bridge and moving between events with her walker. Staff and residents were both very welcoming. As time progressed and her mobility declined, she remained very happy in her cozy apartment at Caroline Place, and to see her friends at meals and special events. Caroline Place increased the staff support for her seamlessly as needed so that Mom was able to stay in the place that had become her home until her passing in April 2023.
My parents went to Caroline Place together 91/2 years ago. It’s such a wonderful place. You feel welcome the minute you walk through the front doors. All the staff go above & beyond the residents' needs. This includes the management, front desk, kitchen & serving staff, cleaning staff & nursing team, activities coordinators. My Mom [lived there] for 6 1/2 yrs. We always felt at peace that she was well looked after. She had numerous friends and participated in many activities. She loved dancing at Happy Hour every Friday. We are truly blessed that she lived her final days there.
My Mother spent the last four years of her life here. The staff were excellent. Their response and precautions taken to prevent an outbreak of Covid in the building were impressive. I got regular e-mail updates that were appreciated. My family thanks the staff for all their support and care shown to my Mother.
After 66 years of living in the same house and other significant life changes, my Dad moved to Caroline Place. The staff were helpful, encouraging and friendly, helping him to adjust to this major life change. I found the staff pleasant, supportive and very importantly, accessible. Ready to answer our questions, clarify a procedure/protocol and address any concerns. As time moved forward Dad embraced the Caroline Place environment, enjoying several activities, Happy Hours and outings. As a family we often enjoyed the Sunday Brunch, and participated in the events. As his health started to fail further, the Wellness staff were ready, capable and willing to take over the administration of his meds, and assist him in daily living requirements. We will always be grateful for their support, warmth and professionalism. My father passed just before Covid came to Hamilton. Based on our nearly 3 years experience with Caroline Place, when another family member needed to be in a supportive living environment, we once again have turned to Caroline Place. I have been impressed with the proactive stance CP management has taken in their response to Covid. The safety, well-being and care of the residents has been forefront. Infection control protocols were swiftly put into place and upgraded as the Covid situation developed; the mental/physical health of the residents balanced with the need for stricter isolation and distancing; weekly communication updates sent to the family members and residents as the situation continues to evolve. Caroline Place is a positive, vibrant and respectful environment, with it's residents' well-being always a priority. Thank you to all of Caroline Place staff for all you do. We definitely recommend Caroline Place.
My father has been at Caroline Place about a year and a half. I can't say enough good things about his home. The staff are incredible, genuinely friendly and always helpful and professional. It's clean, the food is good and they have lots of activities. But, I just have to emphasize one point. I can sleep at night because they had a quick and thorough plan when COVID-19 started. They have continued to adapt and always in the best interest of their residents. They have communicated with families and residents often and thoroughly. I am extremely relieved my father chose Caroline Place. They deserve a reward for their professionalism and care. Not just 5 stars in a review. Thank you to all administration and staff from the bottom of my heart.
My aunt moved in 10 days ago to Meadowlands, transitioning not only from her home but also from another city.It is very hard to put into words our gratitude to ALL of the Meadowlands Retirement Community staff for the professionalism and kindness they have provided to her during this busy time. Everyone ( starting with Donna, and Rebecca) have gone above and beyond to make this transition an easy one, And she has been raving about the food!! Top notch facility all around.
We recently had my dad booked to stay in a respite room for 4 weeks at Meadowlands as a transition from hospital to home. After staying 2 weeks he enjoyed it enough to move in permanently. Our family has been so pleased with the caring and respect shown by all staff at Meadowlands. Rebecca has been especially helpful in this transition from home to retirement community. My dad has enjoyed the wonderful meals and friendly people. He has even begun using the gym on a regular basis. As an outgoing person, he has even played his guitar for a sing along with some of the residents. After touring several other retirement communities, we would highly recommend Meadowlands.
My Mother went for a two-week trial at The Meadowlands in 2017 and refused to leave to return home until her suite was ready! That is how quickly she felt at home. The food, the accommodations and amenities are top notch but it is the staff who are the most impressive - caring. friendly, helpful and professional. During Covid their care was exceptional. We couldn’t have picked a better place for my Mother to be.
Moved our 96 year old father into the Meadowlands today. The amazing staff went out of their way to make him feel welcomed in his new environment. They made this moving experience as seamless as possible and were there to assist with any questions. I highly recommend the Meadowlands. The grounds are scenic, the mood is good and the staff are absolutely lovely.
Meadowlands has large windows allowing lots of sunlight which in turn nourishes all the tropical plants that decorate the entrance and hallways throughout . Definitely brightens one’s day. Donna was very helpful with her advice and steered us in the right direction for the care of our mother.
