One-to-one comparison

FORESTVIEW RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

One unique aspect of Forestview is a monthly residents' meeting, where your opinion gets heard on issues like upcoming events, as well as any other suggestions you have. That extra personal attention is seen also in the care options available. There are regular services like laundry and medication management, of course, but Forestview goes beyond that. For example, you can create your own personalized care plan that meets your specific needs, adding a la carte services as you require.

Our mother moved onto the assisted care floor 3 months ago and we are very pleased. She moved from a good independent living retirement home. Anna, the Wellness Director, has been open and responsive to dialogue and has done things to improve our mother’s physical and mental well-being. The doctor, who is on-site once per week, has been a good listener and has helped as well. The staff response times and the integration with LIHN workers have been great. The staff all seem to know her name and have encouraged her to participate in many activities. Forestview has lovely grounds and is tucked in a quiet corner that you don’t even know you are in busy Toronto. We are happy with this move and the friendly and caring environment at Forestview

My grandparents are residents of this retirement home and they are pleased with their experience. Linda the general manager has also been incredibly accommodating. I would highly recommend this home.

I'm impressed with the Forestview Retirement Residence's handling of the current pandemic situation. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food service and quality is on the level of a five star hotel.

The staff at Forestview are very attentive friendly, professional and caring has been our experience.This newer facility is well managed and maintained with great food choices and the quality is superb. I know my mom is in good hands and I can highly recommend Forestview.

My father recently moved in to Forestview and we are very pleased so far. His apartment is beautiful, the food is great, and the staff are lovely. My mom is still in rehab recovering from surgery, but is eagerly awaiting her move-in. Carolina from Forestview often sends her care packages, which are much appreciated!

Our dad was at Canterbury Place for 5 years. He was quite independent when he first arrived, but needed a fair amount of help in the later stage of his stay. The staff were always so cheerful and helpful to him, for which we are most appreciative. They are constantly investing in the facility and programs to make it a better experience for the residents. To the staff - thank you so much for all you did to make dad's experience a wonderful one! We appreciate everyone from the front desk to the caregivers and nurses, to the the dining room staff to the maintenance people. You all are wonderful.

The team at Canterbury Place has been amazing! In the process of moving our mom from the US, during Covid, and carrying out all the logistics remotely, Maureen Gold, and her staff have been exceptional! We are finally able to rest, knowing that mom, is in good, caring, loving hands. Thank you Maureen and the entire Canterbury team for making this happen!!

This a great retirement community. It is in a great location, has engaging resident activities and great cuisine. ... I am very grateful for the ongoing care and attention that my Father receives.

My mother has lived at Canterbury Place for almost 3 years and she's very happy with her suite and the services offered to residents. Great location - close to everything on Yonge St. and nearby parks for quieter walks. Very good food choices and residents get surveyed for their input on future meal choices. While the pandemic has been extremely difficult for everyone, management takes strict precautions to ensure & enforce safety. The facility was recently renovated and updated, and it's beautiful.

My father-in-law has been living at Canterbury Place for several years now. He’s very happy to be there and it has proven to be a great choice. The location is great – right near the subway, a Metro supermarket, and a wonderful public library (though Canterbury Place itself has an extensive library of its own). The employees are accommodating and warm. A variety of social and exercise programs are available. We were very impressed that management sent out regular email updates to family informing us about things related to Covid procedures and infection controls. I [recommend] Canterbury Place ... to my cousin, who subsequently moved in.
