BELMONT HOUSE

Belmont House is unique for being a non-profit community that offers an impressively luxurious lifestyle. It also boasts excellence in care and amenities, on a beautiful park-like property in the heart of the prestigious Rosedale neighbourhood. With its community of cheerful peers and a friendly building rife with things to do, it’s a seniors’ garden of delights in the middle of Toronto.

HAZELTON PLACE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

One of the most notable features of this residence is the spaciousness of the lounges and three dining rooms. Hazelton Place focuses on offering a variety of activities and attractions to bring residents together and facilitate a lifestyle that is as active (or as quiet) as you might want. The area is rife with history including U of T buildings, and it has been recently reinvigorated, with many new shops and outdoor cafes, etc.

BELMONT HOUSE

It’s a well known secret that Belmont House is the best of the best in Ontario. The facility has elite accreditations with a highly skilled and compassionate management team. For example, there wasn’t a single resident COVID-19 infection during the entire pandemic - wow! They are currently rolling out the Butterfly program for dementia care, one of the first of its kind in Canada. With years of experience with family members at Belmont, I have no hesitations whatsoever to recommend.

My mother lived there and I volunteered there. Not only is it the "seniors home of choice", it has received the ultimate official confirmation of being the best possible by official inspections resulting in it being accredited "in exemplary standing". Anyone who retires there or who is a long-term patient there or who works or volunteers or visits there should consider themselves truly blessed.

Belmont House truly feels like home. The friendly and supportive community is always there for you.

There is always so much to participate in and enjoy. I’ve never been bored.

In light of the [pandemic], I have felt so safe. I know I can trust the staff and that they really care about us all.

HAZELTON PLACE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Leslie has been extremely helpful assisting by brother and I find a home for our 96 year old father. Very quickly we determined that Hazelton was the perfect place. Unfortunately, while other retirement homes have a vacancy rate up to 20%, the assisted living unit at the Hazelton has a wait list of around a year. They must be doing something right!

In considering a place for my mother to retire to I found my visit to the Hazleton to be extremely informative and welcoming. They did everything they could to illustrate the features of the residence including allowing me to see a lived-in suite and inviting me to lunch. I was very impressed. The management staff were very thorough and bent over backward to accommodate my mother’s needs. I would highly recommend it.

I’m deeply grateful to know that my mum is in such good hands! The staff are extremely competent and caring, going above and beyond almost each and every time. Their flexibility and competence has been especially apparent as they have navigated through Covid, always prioritizing safety while also truly focused on the caring community they work so hard to create.

Mom has been a resident here for over two years now. She is happy, safe and in more than capable hands as she ages gracefully and struggles with dementia. But the real joy is knowing that people who work here - especially during a pandemic - remain vigilant in their focus for everyone's safety and well-being. That comfort - knowing mom is receiving daily touch points with the staff - helped us endure the last year where visitations have been curbed by Covid-19. The quality of care is best-in-class and her suite is more than spacious. Above all, she has made new friends and embraces every day with a sense of optimism that is nothing short of inspirational. And to inspire and be inspirational really captures the essence of our experience so far at this gem of a retirement home....I tip my hat to their dedicated staff and

We moved my Mother into the residence in November 2018 and quite frankly it was the best move for her and our family. She is so happy to be in a facility that provides her with such a high quality of life. The suites, the staff, the food and the amenities are all top shelf. The new friendships she has made are irreplaceable to her quality of life. During Covid our family knows that she has been kept safe and we couldn't be more grateful to the amazing team at the Hazelton.
