One-to-one comparison

THE VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

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.

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.

My dad is well cared for here! They are patient & caring. Thank you for all you do.

Dad in LTC... far superior to the retirement home he was previously in. Great, friendly and attentive staff.

Lovely! We think that my sister is happy with retirement residence. It is very well run.

Right from the start, I liked how bright it was. When you walk in the entrance here, it's all very welcoming. People came out from playing bingo and they welcomed me right then and there. The people here are very friendly. When I arrived I had a great resident mentor who invited me to things and got me involved in all the activities, allowing me to meet other residents. My family really enjoys their visits. My grandchildren and I have gone to exercise classes, we've enjoyed family dinners in the dining room and my daughter joins me for the theatre excursions. My children even come to the bar on Friday's to have a drink with me!

One of my favourite activities at The Westhill are brain games,they keep your mind sharp and challenged. There is always so much going on here, it's sort of like living on a cruise ship! Bank runs and The Boardwalk loop are so convenient and the staff feels like family! Without question, I would recommend The Westhill to others. It's a great place to live and my transition was so easy. Any issues are addressed immediately. If you need a lightbulb changed , you come down to the reception and they have it replaced within half a day. Little things like that add up. I'm very impressed with this Sifton company. They've been around 95 years, they know what they're doing.

Progressive, first class ... helpful and caring staff.

The staff is amazing. The care and support for my mother-in-law was simply incredible ... It's the best place for her to be. We know she's in great hands.
