Our Perspective
This is the destination for Kanata and area seniors who require assisted living or are in the middle stages of Alzheimer's Disease. It offers the very finest in senior care and accommodations. Registered practical nurses and personal support workers are onsite around the clock. The building is full of exceptional amenities. Seniors who move here feel a marked improvement in their outlook and wellbeing.
This Kanata retirement community is the right place to be for those having personal difficulties they can no longer handle on their own or through family caregiving. It's a vibrant community where people interact with each other in a healthy manner, encouraging healing, improvement, and increased independence. Residents receive professional assistance with problems of everyday living like bathing, dressing, transfer and incontinence, and memory care provides dementia patients with safety and comfort. This residence also welcomes respite care stays and trial stays.
For seniors who need assistance with some daily tasks of living, this provides a community of peers. Interaction with others "in the same boat" is very helpful. There is interaction through games and other activities, entertainment offered onsite, and an outdoor patio/gathering place that is lovely in summer. Many onsite amenities and features (beauty salon, wellness center, theatre, and more) add to the positive environment here. The hairdresser is very attentive and female residents feel great delight in having their hair styled regularly. Suites are well-appointed, well-maintained, clean and brightly lit. The chandeliered dining room makes dinner another delightful social experience.

Reviews of Symphony Senior Living Kanata
Karlene Clarke, family member
"My experience with Symphony was great. During this trying time on our family's life they were very attentive to our needs. Symphony's service is top-notch."
Bob Lomas, family member
"It is a challenge to move a parent with memory loss out of her home and even more difficult during the threat of COVID 19. Our anxiety about how Mom would adjust was relieved the morning after her move when we received an email from the staff showing a smiling Mom with a new friend. During COVID restrictions we found the staff to be responsive and supportive of our questions and anxieties. Always willing to check for her personal supplies so we could shop for anything she needed. During pati..."
Patricia Wall, family member
"The move to Symphony Senior Living Kanata was the best thing we have done! After a relatively brief adjustment period, our beloved mother and mother-in-law has settled at Symphony Senior Living Kanata in a way that fills us with relief, comfort, and as much joy as we can manage in this situation. I am in awe of the change. Now when we phone [mom], we get only a few minutes conversation before [she tells us] she has to go see her friends. She is too busy to talk to us because she can hear acti..."

COVID-19 Information
All four Symphony Senior Living properties are completely COVID-19 free, we have been since the beginning of the pandemic in mid-March. We managed to stay this way because of our extremely dedicated staff and management teams along with our early implementation of safety guidelines!
Our properties have been keeping our friends and families up to date on Facebook with all our activities we've been doing to keep our residents engaged. Staff, managers, and residents have all showcased talents and found a way to have fun while being in quarantine. At the moment, we are not allowing any non-essential visitors so we set up Zoom accounts in every property so family members can connect with their loved ones virtually. We host virtual events and post on our social media daily.
We are now safety accepting new residents into our homes. The guidelines are as follows:
- Negative COVID test within 24 hours prior to admission
- Mandatory 14-day isolation period
- One time companionship fee for residents with dementia.
Call us today and schedule a virtual tour! We'd love to have you.
