One-to-one comparison

THE WELLINGTON

The Wellington offers a unique combination of affordability and luxury amenities in an older area of the city. This established community offers a built-in familiarity that Hamilton seniors will warm up to quickly. We love its holistic approach to senior living, from its pet-friendly policy to the staff, who bring a tell-tale enthusiasm to their work. The unique combination of independent living with long term care makes it ideal for couples with varying needs to stay together in one community.

MEADOWLANDS - A VIVA RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

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 puts this community over the top. The Meadowlands is also wonderfully located, central to the Golden Horseshoe, where family from across the province can easily visit.

The staff, all the staff, are so personable. Beds are made and room cleaned daily.

I could not ask for a more caring and dedicated group of people. The Wellington has proven to be a wonderful place. During the Pandemic..they protected residents like they were their own loved ones...keeping their Spirits up with music, dance and "Wacky Hair Days” posted regularly on Facebook. During the time when we were unable to visit ... the staff made regular Skype calls for the Residents.The Wellington turned out to be the best place for my Mother.

My Mother received excellent care while a resident at The Wellington. The Wellington has caring and highly qualified nursing and personal support staff as well as a fabulous Residents Support Services Unit that works very hard to provide residents with interesting, fun and entertaining activities on a daily basis. All staff have done an amazing job keeping the residents safe and entertained during the present COVID -19 outbreak.

My Mother lived at the Wellington for [six] years ... Staff were very compassionate and kind towards my mother and went out of their way to make her comfortable. Every time I visited different staff would say they went to see my mother and some even sang a song for her. The doctor, nurses and support workers always listened to my concerns and showed they really cared. Their works of mercy will never be forgotten.

Every single staff member has been so great to my Aunt over her 10 years here. Their safety measures in place are so appreciated and having the best staff in every department of Meadowlands from Concierge to Wellness Clinic to the PSW's to the Dining room to the Maintenance Department! They have always gone above and beyond with any request and when she had to move out to a Nursing home, I cannot praise each and every one of them enough for their help, their compassion and assistance in making the move a smooth one.

Very caring and helpful staff. My Mom passed away (91) having lived a great life and loving her 7 years at the Meadowlands. The staff were so supportive in helping me with the "move out" process. Very special thanks to Melissa concierge, Rico my very kind and patient helper and Julie on the screening desk. Everyone has been wonderful and very empathetic towards me in the process, always checking in to see if I needed anything. Even the community members kept checking in to see how I was doing and tell me stories about my Mom (Audrie Sherlock).

Since moving in during the Covid 19 pandemic, the wonderful staff has gone above and beyond to keep our mother engaged. With a constantly changing menu, plus activities on their in house channel to keep everyone motivated. They work with the Community members to keep everyone safe.

Thank you to the entire Meadowlands team for your compassion, dedication and tireless hours to ensure the safety and well being for ALL. Whether it is the personal sacrifices you make everyday not seeing your extended family/friends to reduce the probability of bringing COVID19 to the workplace or, the alternative activities you have painstakingly created or, the countless extra shifts you have worked or that act of kindness demonstrated to a CM whose day you unknowingly made with an uplifting word...thank you! ... We are thankful the Meadowlands team treats our family members as one of theirs and painstakingly and tirelessly does everything possible to provide the best quality of life during these unprecedented times and in doing so keeping our loved ones safe and COVID19 free.

My mom moved into Meadowlands on October 31st, 2020. While this wasn't the best time to move in with Covid and restrictions, Meadowlands did everything they could to make her feel at home. As I was deemed an essential care giver, and helping to set my mothers apartment up, I was able to spend each day with her through the week which was extremely helpful. During this time I got to know many of the staff, especially Melissa Batista. She was exceptional and still is!! As I live in the states (yes, I did have self isolation for over 2 weeks and negative Covid tests before entering Meadowlands), she is always extremely responsive to my emails, as well helps to keep me informed of things going on with my mother. I can't say enough good things, except...thank you. I do appreciate her and all the staff at Meadowlands help. They facetime with me twice a week, feed my mother wonderful chef prepared meals (reminder I was there to see many of them the first week and yummy!!!) give my mother the help she needs and gives both my brother and I relief at knowing she is being taken care of.
