Reviews of New Horizons Tower
Judith MacLeod, family member
"We are so glad that our mother had the good fortune to live at New Horizons Tower for 8 years.
The care she received was kind, compassionate and attentive throughout the time that she lived there, which included the pandemic. Everyone was exemplary and fulfilled their responsibilities with care and thoughtfulness. It was a true home for our mother and a blessing for which we are all grateful. I highly recommend this retirement residence without hesitation."
