Comfort Life Review
Through the beginning of the 2020’s, Greenwood Retirement Communities has garnered raves across its communities for its handling of coronavirus, demonstrating its diligence in both safety and care. Staff and administration across Greenwood communities are also singled out for praise, for their extraordinary commitment, and attention to seniors. Families and prospective residents of Winchester Glen will live in a community with a fulfilling lifestyle, where everyday is lived at full value.
The beautifully contemporary building design here is remarkable for its emphasis on natural lighting. The good life lived by residents here is spurred by onsite spa services, a salon, and full slate of daily activities. You can be as busy or as relaxed as you want to be. Seniors in this area of Oshawa will love the benefits of living in a community with others their own age, many from the area, who share both past experiences and present circumstances. It’s the right place to be.

Executive Director's Message
Jennifer Stevens
For as long as I can remember I have always been passionate about working with seniors and find it very personally rewarding. Some of my previous experience has been in a Therapeutic Recreation Management role in LTC for over 20 years, and most recently as a General Manager in the Retirement sector for the past 6 years. I am very excited to be apart of the new Winchester Glen Community, not only to be able to engage and build relationships with residents, staff, and families, but to be able to welcome residents into this beautiful home with all the amenities it has to offer.
