Our Perspective
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!
This retirement residence is 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.
