GOVERNORS WALK RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - METTA LIFESTYLES

Governors Walk’s setting in a historic monastery hints at the disciplined compassion at work here. There seems to be a good spirit that flows through this place. It’s communal living with heart and soul, founded today on the staff’s enthusiasm for caring for seniors.

Perhaps the best thing about Park Place is the location, so close to downtown Ottawa. There are gardens outside, parks not far away, and the nearby Experimental Farm is a unique part of the community's environment. Not far away, there are shopping centres and restaurants, then the downtown core and the many sights to see and things to do there. People love the very wide range of services that are available both within Park Place and close by.

A member of my family was at Governor's Walk for 6 days of respite care post-surgery in February 2024. We were happy with everything. The staff and the nurses were caring and interested yet non-intrusive. We saw several times when the staff went out of their way to help their resident (eg.; the receptionist getting a resident a blanket from another floor bc the resident was cold at movie night; a confused resident reassured that she wasn't lost and taken back to her room.) The room was comfortable and charming with its bay window and walk-in shower. The renovations look great and there will soon be an activity room on the first floor. The food was good and varied. I highly recommend the bran muffins. Also, the parking was plentiful and convenient so it made our visits easy. We would return here in an instant. The staff were sweet calling it a "Hotel Stay" not respite care! Thank you, Governor's Walk.

In December 2021 I started my fourth year at Governors Walk. Every day I feel fortunate to live in such a wonderful home where the staff at all levels is caring, sensitive and competent. My suite as well as all common areas are kept clean, the dining room is attractive and the food well above average. My husband was bedridden for 2 months and died in September 2021. The care and affection he received were exceptional. I don't think I could find a better place to live.

I have lived at Governors Walk for 4 years and love it. The food is great and the staff are very helpful. They are always warm and caring. I highly recommend Governors Walk.

My aunt has been at this residence for years. She loves the food and friendly atmosphere.

Food is wonderful and the staff really care for my grandma. I see the compassion and patience they give all the residents here and it gives me great peace of mind. The staff remembers small things like making sure my grandma has a bib when she’s eating or giving her warm water instead of cold. Thank you all so much! You are so appreciated.

Living in a retirement home gives you more freedom, more things to do, more people to be with. Since I came to Park Place, I meet people every day, my apartment is huge, there is a pond to walk around, the experimental farm is beside me, I have a patio and face the street so I am living in a housing community, stores are near me, I could not ask for more! [And the staff here] are so kind, they can’t meet your needs enough. If you were in there you would say WOW, the staff does everything they can for you.

My mother resides in this home and I can’t say enough good things. The food is great, the care is amazing but the most important thing is how they’re handling COVID. After they noticed the effect of March lockdown on seniors, they realize [that] family are what will get seniors through the pandemic. Myself and my brothers have visited and cared for our mother every day since late April. Other seniors’ families are also allowed to care for their seniors. We are provided with PPE, Hand sanitizers, everything. They know family have every right to enter their loved one's home. Park Place follows the directives and Resident Bill of Rights.

My sister in law lives there. Modern and well maintained.

My mother recently moved in and it's been fantastic for the first month. Nothing but great things to say. Highly recommended for somebody taking the step onto the next chapter of their lives.
