One-to-one comparison

LIVITA QUEENS AVENUE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

This community is unanimously praised by residents and family members. It’s especially noted for the staff’s professionalism, personal warmth, attentiveness, and compassion. They go beyond duties to give personal time and express a personal interest in those in their care, and as one family member puts it, they anticipate needs. They create a warm community that makes seniors’ lives easier and better.

SIFTON - ERINVIEW

Erinview's new building, opened in 2019, offers spaciousness throughout. It's a completely new living environment surrounded by beautiful older homes on tree-lined streets. Ideal for families in Mississauga, Milton, Oakville and elsewhere in the west GTA, the Erinview offers a uniquely homey atmosphere. That feeling comes straight from the top, Sifton being family-run, focused on traditional values. The result here is a coziness to the place, combined with excellent care.

Yesterday, my mother celebrated 20 years at Queens Avenue Retirement Residence. When she first arrived, there were few residents that had mobility issues. Since then it has been amazing to see the staff and management adapt to an aging population. Most recently the staff had to adapt to caring for their residents during a pandemic. They have done so beautifully. My family is thankful to have found this jewel of a place and are so grateful for the level of care afforded to our mom.

If you're looking for loving, compassionate, and holistic care for your loved one Queen's Avenue (QARR) is the ONE. Both of our parents were very fortunate to be family members of QARR. They were always greeted with an infectious smile and excellent care from the staff.

I would highly recommend the Queens Avenue Retirement Residence. As soon as you enter Queens Avenue you will find yourself in a very welcoming lobby. The recent renovations on the main floor, which include a sitting area with a fireplace, as well as a bistro, are very inviting. The apartments are spacious and well laid out. The best part of Queens Avenue is the staff! All of the staff, including housekeeping, kitchen, administration, and especially the PSW and nursing care staff have become like family. The attention to personal safety and well-being is highly apparent. During this uncertain time, I had full confidence in the goings on of Queens Avenue Retirement.

Our mom is the ‘difficult to please’ type. Queens Ave has done a fantastic job – especially during this time of quarantines with increased activities and client services. She is happy, which means a lot less stress for us. Special mention to Darlene and Tom for their responsiveness to us and to Gretal and the nursing team for going above and beyond including not only taking her to dentist and Dr appointments but dealing proactively with medical issues. Not to mention the time the team tended to her and managed her pain meds after she cracked her ribs. Maybe most importantly, the staff has conscientiously adhered to stringent safety policies resulting in what we understand is industry leading resident well-being.

It's fair to say that an excellent retirement home is not just were the staff are great and the food is good - it's a place where needs are more anticipated than just noticed; where nourishment is for the body, yes, but mind and spirit too. It's where our elders experience the care and loving they have given us - every month and week, day and moment of each year. It is where my uncle and aunt found a wonderful next home - where they became part of a larger family. Many years ago THEY chose the Queens Avenue Retirement Residence and we are oh so pleased they did.

Before I moved into the Erinview, I lived here in Mississauga, just a few streets over from the Residence. We started searching for a retirment living option when my husband began developing Alzheimer's and taking care of him on my own started to get too difficult. My children suggested that it may be best to live somewhere where there was the option to have certain care and services provided; and they took it upon themselves to find us a place, sell the house, pack us up and help us relocate. Given that we lived so close by, I spent many years driving by the building and seeing it from only its exterior. One day while out for lunch with my daughter-in-laws, they brought me into The Erinview for a tour. I walked in and had a great feeling right from the start. It felt comfortable, spacious; my gut was telling me this was it. The most important thing was to be someplace welcoming and inviting, and still have the space to keep certain pieces and memorabilia that would have been difficult to part with. I listened to my gut upon walking through those doors the very first time, and it spoke to me that this place was to become our new home. My suite has the right amount of space for the items that I wanted to keep, and it's the perfect size to display all my travel items and family photos proudly. The best piece of advice that I have for someone searching for a retirement residence would be to listen to their gut and follow that feeling. One of the things that surprised me what the cost of living in a retirement residence and I wished I had known sooner: I never have to cook again or make long grocery trips. I also love socials and entertainment programs such as music performances - they are my favourite. I also really enjoy going on the outings, especially shopping! My lovely suite has the right amount of space for the items that I wanted to keep and it's the perfect size to display all my travel items and family photos proudly!

Wonderfully refreshing to see beautiful people enjoying [every day] at Erinview.

I like the exercise programs very much. I think it's necessary. I try to go at least three times a week, sometimes four times a week. It's nice, too, here, you can go out for a walk, the streets in the neighborhood have lots of nice gardens.
