Our Perspective
How we see Tapestry at Village Gate West
You'll love this place if you enjoy being treated to luxury. Aside from the onsite amenities, the dining, crafted by a professional chef, is an exceptional aspect of daily life at this this retirement residence. Families appreciate that residents are so well-treated, and that it's so easy to get to, from anywhere in the GTA. You really have to see this for yourself!
We've worked with Tapestry at Village Gate West for many years, now, and we can tell from what we've heard over that time that this is a warm, friendly, well-run seniors' community. Tapestry's high standards are manifest in communities across the country. People who move here find their vitality renewed, and enjoy each other's company immensely, helped along by attentive, compassionate care staff here.
It's a step above anything you might ever imagine; you'll step in the door and wonder "what is this place?" The expansive facilities here make this much more like a resort than a retirement home. Walk through the hallways and corridors and you'll find an indoor pool, a spa, a high definition golf simulator, and a movie room with a full screen. The interior is active with smiling, happy people interacting positively with staff and each other. Outside, there are landscaped gardens and patio barbecues in summer, when the weather allows.
The residence is ideally situated in the Chestnut Hills area of Etobicoke, not far from the Islington Golf Club, with copious shopping nearby also, at Sherway Gardens. Other local stores, services and restaurants are many, but include a gourmet coffee shop, several local doctors, along with a dental centre and a Natural Health Centre. There are also several churches, including both a Baptist and a Catholic church. If you're curious about the finest that senior living has to offer today, we recommend taking a closer look at Village Gate West.
