Queens Estate is an exceptionally well-organized care community, given its newness. We think that comes from Metta Lifestyles’ decades of experience offering senior care. Here, you’ll find a cosy, familiar environment, comforting to those needing assistance or dealing with symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s unique among area retirement homes in offering of a range of care options. Aside from personal assistance and memory care, the variety of stay options includes convalescent and guest stays as well as the provision for hiring your own home care. They're welcoming and flexible.

My parents just moved into Parkland on Eglinton. The care, communication, and attention during the pre-move-in process have been stellar. Every person we have met along the way has been kind, warm, and positive. Yesterday was move-in day. My parents, and our whole family, who came along for the occasion, were greeted by name at every interaction. The staff also received glowing feedback from the moving company who they were able to liaise with throughout the day. We are all looking forward to becoming a part of the Parkland Community. Thanks for the warm welcome. Special thanks to Abigail, Gurpreet, Joseph, Maria, and Victor!

This is a beautiful place to live as a senior: high-end with a pub with billiards and a beautiful pool, pet-friendly, and the people are amazing. I would love to retire and live at Parkland. The staff is very friendly, would highly recommend Parkland to anyone!!

The staff is super friendly, and the positive energy the residents provide is contagious!

This building has a bougie layout and is located in a great area. Stores are nearby and great amenities!

Beautiful site with friendly staff and lovely amenities!

A well-run facility that puts residents first. Beautiful modern building and facilities. Very good indoor parking that is heating in the winter. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant has a wide choice of meal choices. There are no timed multiple sittings. You can stay as long as you want for a meal.

To the wonderful UHN team! Thank you so much for showing such care, patience, kindness, and support during my mom and dad's stay here. Our family is very grateful and remembers your kindness!

Very clean, very friendly, with lots of activities. Staff are incredibly friendly and easy to work with

My mother has been living at Queen’s Estate for the past 1.5 years and was recently accepted at long-term care. She is 80 years old, has dementia and is exit-seeking. The staff have been really great here. They have been professional and have communicated very well about my mother’s needs. You can see that the ladies who took care of my mother really cared about her. I felt that my mother was safe in this place, and I would recommend it for anyone with an elderly parent who needs extra care and attention.

Moving my mom from her longtime home to a memory care retirement community was an emotional transition. After visiting a few other places, Queens Estate immediately felt right. From day one, Agnes, Sharon, Ivie, and the entire staff treated my mom with kindness, patience, and respect. While adjusting to her new home came with challenges, seeing how the staff treat her like family has been truly heartwarming. The consistent care and thoughtful updates have given me peace of mind as she settles in, becomes more comfortable, and stays engaged with activities that keep her mind active.

The staff at Queen's Estate are incredibly caring and committed to making this a home for our mother. Moving our mom, who is on a journey with dementia, into a care home was difficult. The staff at Queen's has made the transition a lot easier for mom and us.

If a move is recommended, additional help can be added based on a nurse’s assessment and suite availability. Our team supports residents and families through the transition, ensuring comfort and continuity of care.
