Since I moved my 2 uncles to Grandview Retirement Residence I have seen much improvement in their health and overall mood. The activities this home has keeps my uncles active both mentally and physically. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They know each residence by name. They are very honouring and treat the residents with genuine respect. The place is immaculately clean. When an issue arises, the staff 9 out of 10 respond courteously and efficiently. They are quick at problem-solving. I especially had a concern for one of my uncles who was operating on 20% use of his kidneys prior to moving into the home. Since bringing him to Grandview Retirement, his kidney function has increased to 25%; something unheard of in the nephrology clinic. I was so pleased with the Executive Chef Ezio, going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure my uncle received nutritious, healthy, well-balanced meals. My uncles have gained their independence back since they moved here and I have peace of mind knowing they are well looked after. Thank you to all staff, but a special thanks to the 2 Ritasat reception, Christine the nurse, Chef Ezio, Catherine in Sales and the Maintenance Staff. You have made life pleasurable again for the Ganja brothers and friends, and have taken a huge burden off me.

Catherine Hall [is] an absolute pleasure to work with... she shows she cares, a gift that is very special and rare. We know a gentleman who is now a resident of Grandview and he so enjoys it.

Grandview Retirement Living in Stoney Creek, Ontario is a wonderful place for seniors to live & thrive and I highly recommend booking a tour/meeting to find out everything this retirement home has to offer. Honestly, you won't be disappointed. The home is beautiful, the staff are amazing and the food is delicious! They also offer a variety of activities/events and the seniors currently living there are so friendly & welcoming to all. My parents transitioned from their home of 40+ years to their new home effortlessly. They are truly happy, relaxed and I have peace of mind knowing my parents are safe, respected and well cared for.

When I decided to check out Grandview Retirement Living (GRL), Catherine Hall showed me around and a Studio that was available to rent. I first met Catherine at a Seniors Club, Club 60, where she provided a very nice Luncheon, with all sorts of sandwiches, fruit, vegetable's and cakes. Righr from the start I new I'd like her. She was warm and friendly, with a great smile. She answered all our question and more. I moved in on the 1 October 2022 and have no regrets. All the staff are quite friendly and greet you, with your name and a smile. Rita(s) at the front desk, are always friendly and willing to help you as best they can. The Chef has a great selection of meals, that are very tasty and meets everyone's needs and special diets. Judy, the Manager of activities, is a ball of fire. Always on the go, running and organizing all the activities, and there are a lot of things to do daily. Judy is another great person on the GRL staff, that is always willing to help you. All in all, it's been a great experience and I'm looking forward for many years to come.

This summer I had the pleasure of meeting with Catherine who is in charge of new residents moving in and having a grand tour of this beautiful retirement home. The amount of activities that are available to their residents inside the home itself is plentiful and one would never get bored living in this setting.

My Dad lived at Aberdeen Gardens for almost 3 years. I was truly thankful for the excellent, compassionate care that he received. The staff was always friendly and helpful and it was always a positive atmosphere. Thanks to Maddie and all of the staff for the amazing care that you gave my Dad

If you have a loved one or you yourself are looking for a place for assisted retirement living. Look no further, you will not find a more caring and helpful staff than here. We had my father in law here and he was very nervous about going to live in assisted living. He loved it here, the residents are happy and friendly. The staff and management do an amazing job. There are not enough words to say how appreciative we are of Aberdeen Gardens.

In my opinion, the care and support the staff at Aberdeen Gardens provided for my mom over the past 3 1/2 + years, went above and beyond retirement home expectations.Dealing with individuals with dementia is difficult at the best of times and far more difficult having the Covid pandemic thrown into the mix. I recognize the challenge it was for my mom to receive each of her Covid inoculations. Thank you for persevering to ensure she received both vaccines. I could not have asked for a better home for my mom to have been in, during the pandemic and especially with her declining mental health. It was evident that the staff put the health and welfare of my mom and the other residents as a top priority. A big heartfelt thanks!

Aberdeen Gardens Cares. My Uncle Has Been There Since October Of 2016 And Has Enjoyed Everybody. He Is The Best I Have Seen Him Years. Thankyou Aberdeen Gardens And The Wonderful Staff That Have Been Looking After Him.

My father-in-law has been a resident at Aberdeen Gardens since October 2019. Our family could not be more pleased with the excellent service provided by their extraordinary staff. They care about each and every resident to ensure they are well looked after and happy. This has never been more important than during the COVID 19 crisis. I was impressed with the numerous protocols put in place well ahead of government directives. We receive regular communications from the Executive Director about any issues or new guidelines. With all of the recent unfortunate news about certain retirement homes, we have peace of mind knowing he is safe and treated like a member of their family. Each and every request is looked after in an appropriate and timely manner, and they do not hesitate to make recommendations to improve his level of care. We will always remember the head chef telling us to watch what happens after 3 weeks, and indeed he looked and felt much better as his diet and medicines were carefully managed. This may not be the most expensive retirement home in the Hamilton region, but is the best managed, with the very best staff. We are grateful to every member of the Aberdeen Garden’s team for looking after my father-in-law so well. Though moving loved ones from their home is always a difficult decision, we are now enjoying more quality time together with him as his daily needs are taken care of. We wish that he had moved their sooner.
