I moved my brother here in Feb 2023. The facility is so warm and inviting, clean and bright. I love that they have so many activities for residents including great outings. The staff have gone above and beyond to help us as my brother has an acquired brain injury. Right from the first email till now they have been very helpful and accommodating.

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to have my father stay at Hemstock while visiting in Lloydminster. The staff was wonderful, supportive, qualified, kind, and helpful. Hemstock is a lovely, welcoming environment, clean, organized, and accommodating. The staff went above and beyond to make my father's stay and my vacation stress-free and enjoyable.

My mom has been a resident of the Hearthstone for a little over two years. When we first enquired about transitioning her from her home, the team at Hearthstone did everything possible to make her comfortable and the transition was seamless. Fast forward two years, my mom recently fell and broke her hip, the team at Hearthstone is doing everything they can to accommodate her needs through wellness support, meal deliveries and even relocating her so her room will be closer to the dining room. The staff has gone over and above to once again make her transition as smooth as possible. The staff truly cares about the well-being of all the residents. It gives me peace of mind knowing my mom is in good hands.

My husband and I reached out to the Dr. Hemstock facility on behalf of our neighbour who was recovering from major surgery. We were looking and hoping to find a respite room.The staff, ALL of them, opened their arms and basically a Christmas miracle happened in a very, very short time. Our friend is comfortable and happy.

My mother-in-law has been here a few months now and the employees have been fantastic to her. The facility has a very homey atmosphere and she is being well taken care of.

I would give Wild Rose a 10 if I could. I had to go to Edmonton last June to take urgent guardianship of my dad because he had dementia and was on his own. I was there for several months and needed a safe place for my dad while I went back for a couple of months to wrap up some stuff before coming back. Wild Rose was the perfect place. First of all, my dad enjoyed living there and he chose it over other retirement communities. He had his own apartment so he felt like he was still living independently while the staff kept a discreet eye on him. The community is small and the staff know all the residents. When he did need help, they have a full time social worker who contacted AHS to request various services I didn’t even know were available. When he came back from the ER, the 24 hour nursing staff checked on him every couple of hours. The location was perfect because it’s across the street from a Shopper’s Drugstore, Safeway and other amenities. The general manager, Nadine Ternevoy, was wonderful. She has clearly has a lot of experience and a lovely bedside manner. Her door was alway open and even replied to emails while on holiday. The staff really went above and beyond and I felt like my dad was in a safe place. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

When my dad lived at Wild Rose, I felt at ease with so much support from the staff, and having the extra medical support in house was the most settling feeling I have felt as a daughter. It’s a quaint boutique style home. Everyone knows each other. Suites are spacious and quite accessible with tubs and toilets that were updated. Kitchen, staff and food were a good quality. Shout out to Nadine and Wendy, you both were awesome!

My Mother currently living at the Residence. She enjoys it very much.

Wow! Just wow! I can’t say enough about the staff and this place. I stopped by in search of a place for my parents and from the moment I walked in I knew this was the place. Wendy and Nadine were so welcoming and took the time I needed to ask questions and see the place. I toured 4 other places but like I said I knew this was the one. My parents are now settling in two weeks later and Erin, Jas, Rizza, and the care staff (sorry I can’t remember all the names) are outstanding. This place is a hidden gem in West Edmonton, if you are in search of a home for yourself or your parents please come check out Wild Rose. You won’t be disappointed.

I found the Wildrose when I was researching places for my mom to move to here in Edmonton. I knew it had to be special cause she had a great support system in Lethbridge but no family! I went for a tour and told my mom we didn’t need to look farther. Since moving in my mom has made great friends! I go to almost all the activities that are available when I’m not working! When I need a place to move into I know I’ve already found it!!!
