THE VILLAGE OF TAUNTON MILLS

We had to move our parents into TM in May due to complex medical issues. Did we do the right thing? We were very concerned about making this decision on their behalf. It has been 2 months now and we feel that this was very much the right decision for our parents. They both have dementia. They feel safe and secure there. The staff are very patient and kind and have formed good relationships with them. Dad loves the food! It can be tricky to find meaningful activities that people with dementia can engage in, but the staff are currently working with us to see how we can improve their quality of life. Any questions or concerns that we have had have been handled in a timely manner by our co-ordinator Alysha Holland. This transition was incredibly stressful for everyone in our family and I'm glad that TM was there to make it as seamless as possible.

My dad received fabulous care from all the staff - especially his Taunton Mills family in the Claremont Neighbourhood. The lines of communication were always open and we knew of any and all issues - and that gave us peace of mind. Thank you for everything you did for him including making him as comfortable as possible in his last days. And thank you for always making sure he got his "ice cream."

Our mother has been a retirement resident for 14 years and lived in an independent suite on the 6th floor of the north building for all of those years. She recently had a fall and she decided to move to the first floor. The help and guidance that we received from the staff was so amazing. They were all so very kind and considerate and answered all of our questions, always returning phone calls and doing whatever they could to make the move seamless. The suite was all set up for our mother upon her return. She was greeted by many staff members and was made to feel so welcome. We are very thankful for all of the assistance.

My parents moved into an Independent Living Suite in the South Tower back in 2020; my Mom was moved into the Dryden neighbourhood in long-term-care in December of 2021 due to her Alzheimer's. I give credit to the staff as I spent a fair bit of time there and I had the opportunity to see how challenging it could be - for the most part they were all great. My Mom became ill in February 2023 and ended up in palliative care in her room, and was treated with kindness and compassion during her final days. I give special credit to Diane McLean - the neighbourhood coordinator of Dryden as she was always there when we needed her which meant more than she could know.

The staff here are amazing. [My grandma] has lived here for years now with dementia. They give her outstanding care and you can easily see the love that they have for all of the residents here. By far the best retirement home I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. ❤❤❤❤

THE VILLAGE OF TAUNTON MILLS

Our Village is a proud part of a Canadian family tradition of community building that goes back 70 years. The first Schlegel family home became the foundation of what Schlegel Villages is today. Here at The Village of Taunton Mills, we offer several lifestyle options to meet a variety of needs. Our continuum of care allows for residents to age with us in place as their needs change. The residents we serve come from a range of backgrounds that thread together the fabric of our community, and while we know resident-centredness is a term that many lean on these days, we truly do focus on each individual’s wishes to guide our approach to service. Our Signature Programs help us focus on the individuality of each resident we serve. Our LIVING in My Today dementia care philosophy, for example, was developed by our team and our partners alongside people with lived experience. This provides our team the opportunity to learn exactly what it means to support a person who is experiencing the changing perceptions of dementia. We also celebrate the Wisdom of the Elder as another Signature Program, thanks to the inspiration of our founder Ron Schlegel. Ron once said: “The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders,” and we honour the individual and collective wisdom of those we serve in ways large and small.
