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.

SYMPHONY SENIOR LIVING KANATA

For Kanata and area seniors who require assisted living or are in the middle stages of Alzheimer's Disease, Symphony offers the very finest in senior care and accommodations. Registered practical nurses and personal support workers are onsite around the clock.

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.

Symphony Kanata has a great Management team, the most caring nurses and resident specialists, the best meals and snacks and hands down the best entertainment and activities! Also, Winston and Buddy make you feel that much more at home. Symphony Kanata is a true “home away from home”

Beautiful community inside and out. Symphony Kanata makes you feel at home with it's charming look and caring staff. I highly recommend this home for all family and friends.

My experience with Symphony was great. During this trying time on our family's life they were very attentive to our needs. Symphony's service is top-notch.

It is a challenge to move a parent with memory loss out of her home and even more difficult during the threat of COVID 19. Our anxiety about how Mom would adjust was relieved the morning after her move when we received an email from the staff showing a smiling Mom with a new friend. During COVID restrictions we found the staff to be responsive and supportive of our questions and anxieties. Always willing to check for her personal supplies so we could shop for anything she needed. During patio door visits, staff put their own phones on speaker so that we could talk to Mom. We love to check facebook and see the activities and photos and love when staff send us a video – like when Mom got balloons for Valentines Day. We are very grateful that Mom settled so quickly and is happy. We think the activities and social contact with people of her own age led her to say “I would be quite happy to stay here for 3-4 years”.
