One-to-one comparison

DELMANOR GLEN ABBEY

This place is obviously ideal if you love golfing or want to settle close to family in Oakville, but there are also a variety of onsite quiet places that allow residents time for personal space. These include The Greenhouse Potting Room, the Serenity Spa and personal massage facilities. The community's excellent ambassador program helps new community members feel right at home. Residents we've spoken to enjoy Glen Abbey's gardening activities outside, and exercise room inside, among other amenities. It's an elegant experience, in both shared spaces and the privacy of your suite.

PALERMO VILLAGE

The phrase "reasonable cost" might be heard rarely when it comes to living anywhere in the city of Oakville — but the value you receive in senior care at Palermo Village means the phrase applies! And then again, there's no price tag you can put on truly compassionate treatment. The Village is widely praised for the way staff treats residents. "Friendly" and "helpful" are terms used as a matter of course by family members, when describing the staff here. There's nothing better than hearing that your senior loved one loves where they live.

DELMANOR GLEN ABBEY

Delmanor is a beautiful retirement home, which backs onto a treed, quiet area, where you can enjoy nature. The facility itself has just been totally redone and it is very bright, modern and a welcoming place to live. The staff are friendly, caring and very helpful. I enjoy the wonderful, varied entertainment, the excursions and the daily social activities that take place The meals are excellent and the dining room staff is very accommodating. The rooms/suites are spacious and very well maintained. There are a variety of lovely areas in which to read, socialize, play games, exercise, watch movies, play pool etc. Everything you need to live a carefree, happy life in your retirement years, is right here under one roof. I've been a longtime resident at Delmanor and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Staff in this place is wonderful. They’ve gone out of their way to do all kinds of things to make things happier and easier for us. 

Our family is very grateful for the extra care, however hard it was on families, how strict the procedures were in ensuring that no one found a way around the system.

I felt perfectly safe [in quarantine]. It didn’t worry me at all. They still take our temperature morning and afternoon, and I think that’s great. It gives you peace of mind!

The outdoor garden was a surprise, a nice one. There are two raised beds in the back which when you get older you can't bend down. There's also a green room, and I like that. But it's really the people I like the best. It's just like a cruiseship on land that's all I can tell you.

Big thank you to all the Palermo staff for the support you gave our mother. Our Mom required extra attention and we were very pleased with the gentle and comforting way the staff took care of our mom. Palermo also offered mom companionship and togetherness. Most times when we dropped in, we found mom was involved in friendly conversation with the many residents. Palermo also offered many activities to fill mom's days, from small outings, to movies and bingo nights. She really did enjoy those extras. Most of all, Palermo offered mom a safe home and peace of mind for us.

Palermo Village is wonderful - no other way to put it. My dad loved his big windows, and spent much time out on his balcony. All of the staff are so friendly and kind, especially when Dad's health took a downward turn - they provided him with all the compassion and care of a family member. The COVID response was amazing - so safe, and even when the residents were unable to visit with others, the staff kept them connected and engaged. The size of Palermo Village is perfect - big enough for amenities, and small enough that everyone knows each other - a real home. I cannot recommend Palermo Village enough - if you are looking for a new, carefree home - this is it!

My Mum and Dad moved into Palermo in March, 2020, just as Covid started. They felt comfortable and welcomed from the very first day. When my Dad passed away a few months later my Mum moved out of Palermo to live with family. When she felt comfortable being on her own again, she chose to return to Palermo. Although we visited several other retirement homes Palermo came out on top. It is a safe, comfortable and caring place.

My parents moved into Palermo when the facility was brand new. There was only one other man and one lady already moved in, so they were the second. Once they settled in, their quality of life improved so much. Their two bedroom suite was large and bright and the building was lovely. They soon started enjoying going down to the dining room for meals and in the mornings, my dad enjoyed tidying up after breakfast. My dad became ill a year after moving in and everyone at Palermo was so kind and helpful throughout this very difficult time. I don't know what I would have done without their support. Thereafter, my mother moved over to a one-bedroom plus den and lived there happily and secure in her surroundings. She was so proud of her suite in the residence. I can't say enough about the comfort and help the staff at Palermo was to me for the duration of my parents lives at this residence. I would highly recommend it to anyone whose parents are ready to leave the stress of daily life and simply enjoy each day as it unfolds. Finally, a closing point I think is important. Palermo is a medium-sized facility and as such, gives residents the opportunity to get to know one-another. Some of the residences are so huge they require multiple dining areas and when they get too big, they lose that closeness between residents and staff. It really is the ideal size to feel like a real neighborhood and it has an ambiance that you can feel as soon as you come in the door.

My mother and father resided at Palermo Village Retirement residence and were overjoyed with the openness of their unit, especially the large windows and balcony. All staff were extremely friendly, especially Aimee and Mylene, along with the nursing staff who were consistently professional, caring and compassionate with my parents (A big thank you to Rhincess for coordinating the required nursing care) Kudos to all nursing staff / PSW's for keeping everyone safe during Covid. They both enjoyed the delicious meals in the dining room, noting on a regular basis how much they loved the food. The cleanliness is apparent from the moment you walk into the front lobby, around the hallway to the elevators and up to the apartment. The attention to detail is obvious everywhere you look. Unfortunately my mother passed and we had to place my father into a Long Term Care facility. My sister and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Palermo Village Retirement Residence for providing a superior living experience for both our parents.
