Reviews of The Village at University Gates

Gain exclusive insight into life at The Village at University Gates. Comfort Life’s exclusive reviews and videos give you insider information from residents and their families.

Our perspective

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.

This new 230 suite development opens an exciting opportunity for Waterloo-Wellington and area seniors seeking to get in on the ground floor of a great community. You’ll be onsite at University of Waterloo, benefiting from the expertise of Schlegel Villages and their work with the Research Institute for Aging.

Other Schlegel Villages in the area offer a glimpse of what life will be like here. Walk into any other location, and you’ll find friends interacting happily, supported by the village design and layout (featuring a Town Square and more). With this being close to the campus at UW, as well as Laurel Creek Conservation, you’ll have nature, learning and friends all just outside the door.

Scott Schwartz, family member

My Aunt and Uncle are residents, fabulous facility!!


KL, family member

My mother was in the Pollock neighbourhood for approx 4 months. She received wonderful care. The nurses and PSW’s were all very kind, kept our family informed and showed great concern and compassion for her and her health. The facility itself is very nice and it has a nice up beat feel to it. You can visit any time you like and stay involved with your loved one very easily. Highly recommend.


Jamie, family member

There's a balance of really good care, the community love—people really care—and safety.


Tamara S, family member

Beautiful village and amazing staff from top to bottom! Moved my 92 year old gramma into village 17 months ago and she's looking and feeling 10 years younger! She doesn't know why she waited so long! Great meals and tons of amenities and activities! I recommend this village for any senior who needs a bit or a lot of help!
