WATERSIDE - A VIVA RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place is the kind of place we dream of retiring to when we get to that age. Overlooking the Mississippi River, near pleasant shops in this peaceful village, it’s a seniors’ oasis. And still, it’s just a half hour away from Ottawa, making it ideal for seniors with family in the west end of the city.

This is an ideal place for seniors who need assisted living or are in the middle to later stages of Alzheimer's Disease. Carleton Place Terrace by Symphony gives seniors daily positive peer interactions, a clean, well-lit space, and therapies and services that alleviate some symptoms of dementia. It's perfectly situated for families on the west end of the National Capital Region or from elsewhere in eastern Ontario.

My uncle stayed at Waterside for over 2 years the staff and employees were very accommodating, respectful and very friendly. The residence is amazingly clean. the food is very tasty. with all the activities they offer. I would be hard not to find something to do. Whether you need a place for the short term, or longer, this would be a good decision.

I stayed at Waterside for two weeks after hip replacement surgery. The entire staff is amazing! It is apparent that the team thoroughly enjoy working together which made my stay so positive.

Recently, my mom and dad made Waterside their new home, and they have settled in quickly, making new friends, enjoying the events and facilities, and the meals. They chose Waterside (above other homes) because they were made to feel welcome right from their first visit, and the bright openness of the rooms was an attraction for them. Trigger and her team made their move easy and stress-free, and the staff team has been terrific in taking care of their needs. I am happy to see them so comfortable there.

Waterside has the best of everything. Medical staff on duty, great food. [There are] many events if you’re active, both within Waterside and also by bus. [There’s] your own garden plot, a saltwater pool, movies, entertainment, also a bar. Who could ask for more?

Moving a loved one into a retirement community is not easy, it's a big change for everyone and a stressful decision. I will always be grateful to Heather Luneburg for taking the time to clearly communicate the benefits of Waterside and for her diligent follow-up and help with planning. She is not only kind and patient but clearly an expert on all aspects of senior living. I learned a lot and feel better prepared for this next stage of my family's life. She is the ideal ambassador for this beautiful facility.

My mother moved into the Terrace recently for what my sisters and I anticipated would be a short term respite stay. However, it unexpectedly turned into a terminal palliative care residency. The staff at the Terrace were able to accommodate her change in situation and medical status very smoothly and made her last days as comfortable as possible. This allowed Mom to pass away with a level of grace and dignity that exceeded our expectations. Everyone showed great caring and compassion towards both Mom and our family. Thanks to Dawn, Amy and the rest of the staff for making this difficult experience easier to handle. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend the Terrace for respite care.

Liz was amazing in getting my parents moved in on very short notice and giving them the accommodations that they required. Dad passed soon after and the staff has been extremely supportive to my mom. There were a few glitches but nothing that was serious. Overall, I think this is a great place and they are still working with my mom to make her time there comfortable.

A very welcoming location and team! They are supportive of the community and caring. Special acknowledgement for Liz who goes beyond when you reach out to her!

My mum and dad moved here in September. It's a lovely, homey atmosphere. The building is clean and well-appointed without being "fussy" and pretentious. They have been treated royally, both of them enjoying the cheerful and helpful staff who always brighten their days. Dad has since passed away, and my mum continues to love it... the level of care, kindnesses and good food are in her daily feedback to me ! Thank you, Carleton Place Terrace !

My dad stayed here for a few months. Great place. He said he was well taken care of and everyone was so nice.
