This Guelph retirement home creates a vibrant community for seniors, where all care requirements are well taken care of. The word “community” applies strongly to Riverside Glen; it truly feels like a village, where people look out for each other, know each other by name, and come to care about each other personally. Its innovative architecture, laid out like a small town, is a seniors-friendly environment that includes a general store, library, an outdoor cafe, a hairdresser, and other outlets. The village concept also extends to residents living in neighbourhoods where every wing has people with similar care needs.
This community began as exclusively long term care, which will still be a key part of the Village. The spectrum of options will include both assisted living and memory care. This will make it ideal for couples with different care needs to remain together in the same community, if one spouse is independent, but the other requires care. It’s also ideal for families and seniors who anticipate shifting care needs in the future. You won’t need to move again.
Highly recommended. Staff is terrific and very good at the job they do. Very clean place. My wife is living there and she's very happy there, which makes me happy because I'm like the knight protecting my Queen. There I need no armor because she's well looked after.
They treat my mother amazingly well. Very happy with the staff.
Any time there is a problem, staff are quick to notify me, or just let me know of issues. They are very kind and professional and I know my mum is in a good place with lovely surroundings.
A great experience so far with one of my family members staying here in the Arthur wing; she doesn’t speak much English but as far as I’ve seen, the staff are very patient (and also been quite diligent during COVID) and very kind whenever I’ve visited.
My dad was here. The people here are angels sent to help us [to help us] with the most difficult times. I will not forget them.
There's a balance of really good care, the community love—people really care—and safety.
Beautiful village and amazing staff from top to bottom! Moved my 92 year old gramma into village 17 months ago and she's looking and feeling 10 years younger! She doesn't know why she waited so long! Great meals and tons of amenities and activities! I recommend this village for any senior who needs a bit or a lot of help!
My mom is so well loved and cared for by the staff, we never have to worry - even through Covid
I am very happy with how the team in the Matthew's neighbourhood takes care of my mother. They are empathetic, friendly and professional. I am 100% confident and comfortable with the care my mother is getting there. We are lucky and thankful to have her being cared for by these wonderful people!
Great care. Good people. My Dad is happy.
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 Riverside Glen, 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-centerdness 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 at University Gates opened in August 2020 and is nestled within the north end of Waterloo - we offer a unique continuum of care concept featuring Independent Living Apartments with full kitchens, Retirement Apartments, Full Service Retirement suites with walk out patios, Assisted Care and Memory Care. The Village currently features a 192 bed long term care home and the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging. Come and discover why "It Takes a Village to Care".
