• Is it time to consider moving to a retirement living residence?

      Spring is right around the corner. For many seniors it is the perfect time to start the conversation about retirement living. 

      The question of when is it the right time to move into a retirement living community is one that requires serious consideration. 

      Typically a good time to start the conversation is when cooking, keeping up with housework, yard work and home maintenance, paying bills or even getting around town becomes harder to do. Waiting until it is absolutely necessary can cause unneeded stress on family members and lead to rushed decision making.

      It is better to be prepared and know what options are available to you. Careful planning for retirement living becomes a thoughtful option that benefits the entire family. 

      The Crown Ridge Retirement Residence offers many features that help make a smooth transition into retirement living.   

      Crown Ridge Retirement Residence is celebrating 23 years of retirement living. It is part of Crown Ridge Health Care Services owned by the Freeman Family. Today many retirement homes are owned by large corporations, with head offices located far away. It is refreshing to hear that Crown Ridge is still family owned and locally operated. 

       This is evident in the attention to the little details that make you feel right at home. At Crown Ridge Retirement Residence they offer respect, comfort, security, companionship, independence and more. 

      Located on the east side of Trenton in a quiet neighbourhood setting, they are conveniently located near churches, shopping and the park areas of the Bay of Quinte.

      The suites feature kitchenettes equipped with a refrigerator, sink, microwave oven and cabinetry. All rooms have private ensuite baths. A gorgeous dining room, a state-of-the-art kitchen and some welcoming lounge areas add to the attractive, warm ambience there. 

      Imagine a lifestyle void of chores. You can simply enjoy the convenience of carefree retirement living. Watching flat screen tvs, playing games or reading in the sunroom, enjoying the gardens or having tea outside in the gazebo are a few of the possibilities. 

      The program director plans activities that include shopping tours and outings. The new corporate bus takes residents on local tours, day trips, and group outings with convenient door-to-door pick up and drop off. State-of-the-art, climate controlled comfort awaits all residents who are ready for fun times away from home.

      Forget about grocery shopping and cooking. Delicious homestyle meals are planned by the Nutritional Care Manager and special diets are catered to. The beautiful dining room features fireplaces in a restaurant-like setting. Snacks and drinks are available all day long.

      Making the move at the right time is essential to the physical and psychological needs of everyone involved. 

      For a limited time Crown Ridge is offering two week trial stays in beautifully furnished suites for only $250. This includes meals and all basic services.        

      Immediate occupancy is available. To book a tour, a trial stay or to find out more information, call
