Loved it. Residents are great.
JD Paulite

PARKLAND AJAX

Amazing retirement residence with lots of amenities right inside the complex. They care about the resident's welfare and safety and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The place seems more like a luxury hotel than a retirement home. You can have peace of mind having an elderly family member staying here.
