The Wellington Retirement Residence
Our Perspective
Perhaps the most important thing for some people is the suite where you live. Private suites here are also wonderfully immaculate, spacious, and cleanly laid out, things you will have seen as you come through the building. We love that many suites offer a full kitchen, so you can do your own thing when you want to. But that said, one of the final draws for us is the dining here! There are wonderful menu choices served up by a service staff that demonstrates care and humility in their treatment of those they serve. That makes it a delight to eat, every mealtime. If you expect exceptional care and community, you’ll find nothing left to ask for, at the Wellington.
Atmosphere is something you can’t fake. Inside the Wellington on a typical day, you’ll find the warm atmosphere that arises from a community of people who obviously feel at home here. This feels like a great place to be, no matter who you are, what your age, or whether you are visiting or living here.
So where does that warmth come from? It begins with the fact that you can see that people are well-taken care of and happy. People take care of each other, here, too, as is apparent in the friendly exchanges you witness and the immaculate environment throughout. There are people joking with each other by the billiards table, people have their pets with them. It all tells a story that this is a good place to live.
