One-to-one comparison

CREDIT RIVER - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

Both family members and the seniors who live here list the most striking quality of this community as "the genuine friendliness of the staff" … their eagerness to please. And when it comes right down to it, that's the most important aspect of any retirement community. A clean, healthy environment with great food and fun activities is always important (Credit River has all those things!) but ultimately there's nothing better than being surrounded by people willing to go out of their way to make every day the best it can be.

The transition for my Mom was a big worry. I wanted this to be home right from day one. The staff made it just that, answering all my 1000 emails/texts so quickly, and welcoming and having her space perfectly ready for her to move in with no problems. It hasn’t even been a full week and they call her by her name. The food is exceptional and they always give her extra dessert.

The staff are very welcoming and patient. They never seem rushed and make you feel like you are what’s most important. The atmosphere is pleasant, comforting and welcoming, and the upkeep is impeccable. My father stayed for a short while in respite care and had a great experience.

Credit River’s team have been wonderful helping us to transition dad from his home to their Retirement home . We had many questions and concerns going in however they were handled with patience and honesty and, in the end, we felt this was the best place for our father to live a better quality of life. Their team of nurses and PSWs are kind and attentive. We know dad will be well taken care of.

To appreciate this review you have to understand that moving my loved one out of her home into an unfamiliar environment was one of the most agonizing decisions I ever had to make. Now I feel that moving her to Credit River has been one of the best decisions we made with respect to her care. It warms my heart to see her living on the memory care floor with wonderful people, just like her, who are treated with the utmost dignity and care. The staff are kind and patient, and the environment is cozy with all the elements of home - right down to the warm raisin toast and tea before bedtime.

My sister and I have high praise for Susan and all staff at Credit River Retirement Residence. They have been honest, very helpful and efficient when our mom needed to go into Assisted-Living. Mom has now been there for 7 months and feels very comfortable and safe knowing staff will help and guide her as she navigates her way through Dementia. Our mom enjoys the activities plus finds all the meals very satisfying. My sister and I know our mom is in the best of care at Credit River Retirement Residence.

My father-in-law has been well cared for. Food, services [like] cleaning, healthcare are all very good. They have entertainment for the seniors weekly with different activities scheduled including exercise classes. They care for each person individually.

My mother has always been happy making new friends. This time she could not miss Teodora at EverGreen Retirement Community, a very nice lady who likes to [have] fun with people -- and on the other hand get things done seriously and smartly. As the result my father not only decided to try Evergreen Retirement Community but also asks my mother to join him. So today is a big day for them: they found a new home with impressive services and professionalism, with welcoming surprises.

Evergreen Retirement Home in Mississauga is one of the best retirement homes in Ontario. I would like first to express my gratitude to Mrs Teodora Elez , community relations manager helped me a lot in settling my father in a short period of time in their assisted living. I am grateful to all her efforts. Secondly, I would like to thank every person working in the home from the: 1-Front desk: Uma and her friendly and welcoming smile. 2-Nurses in 2nd floor and their dedicated work. 3-PSW in 2d floor and their dedicated work in showering and changing clothes. 4-Chefs in the kitchen and their yummy menu. 5-Room service and their cleaning work. Everyone is welcoming and helping. I would like to thank each person in this home . I would definitely recommend it to any senior. I rate them ***** Five Stars Retirement Home

It feels like family. This retirement community is amazing the nurses are very friendly and caring. The manager Melody is very kind and attentive. Any issues you have, just go directly to her and she will be able to help to you. I am very grateful to have my father staying and becoming a member of the Evergreen family.

We have visited several retirement homes, and from the moment we met Teodoro Elez in the beautifully bright atrium, we knew we were in the right place for me. Teodora was understanding of my needs immediately. She gave me several options and seemed to know what I would enjoy. I made my mind up on the spot that Evergreen will be lovely new home for the rest of my life. Teodora is such a kind and caring person as were Brendan, Melody, Teresa and Marlene, the other staff I had the pleasure of meeting.
