Greenview Seniors Residence was my mom’s home for 2 1/2 years. Every facet of staffing provided excellent and compassionate care. Mom was involved in many of the activities the energetic recreation coordinator provided, the meals were appetizing, the housekeeping staff cheerfully interacted with the residents as they carried out their cleaning, nursing care ensured mom’s health was well monitored and above all, the PSWs lovingly tended to all of mom’s needs as she was not able to do much for herself. I always rested easy knowing my mom was in good hands. Greenview provided end-of-life care for my mom and for this I am eternally grateful.

The care is superb at Greenview. Everyone knows the patient and cares about the whole family. The place is very clean and runs efficiently. There are no gaps in the excellence of care or chain of command. All of the staff is excellent but special mention should go to Barbara who is unbelievable in her efficiency. In our case, she did everything that needed to be done to transfer my husband from the hospital to Greenview in two days, and no detail was overlooked. The head of nursing is equally efficient, caring, and professional. The director’s warm, friendly, and highly professional leadership keeps the staff happy and the residents receiving first-class care. Special mention should also go the reception desk staff for their helpful and welcoming manner, going out of their way to make Greenview a welcoming place. This is a very small, personal setting that is highly recommended.

My parents describe this place as being on a cruise every day. The staff here are OUTSTANDING and treat my parents like they are their own. They made the moving-in process easy, thorough and complete. It was like they were moving their own parents in. I can’t say enough about them. Bob, Barb, Ariel, and Gianne are now part of our family. Love this place and the staff.

My elderly aunt recently moved into Greenview after being in the hospital due to a stroke. Greenview is a family-like operation, Barb is nothing short of amazing at sorting out the details with the hospital staff, and the caregivers actually really care. In my aunt’s own words, this place is ‘heaven’!

I am thankful for the support the staff at Greenview have provided as my Dad has settled in. When I realized that my Dad needed more care than we could provide at home, I looked for a place that would treat him like family. The staff has shown my Dad the utmost care as he gets used to a new home and new level of care. They have ensured his safety and comfort. The home is clean and gets lots of natural light. He enjoys the food and the opportunity to socialize with other residents.The staff has also been supportive of all of us and made themselves available to answer any questions we have. Thank you Greenview staff for your kindness and care.

My husband stayed at Canterbury Place for two weeks while I was away. It is a beautiful place with excellent food. The amenities provided something for everyone. The staff was friendly and extremely competent. The residents' interest and care was of paramount importance. We feel fortunate to have access to a home away from home when needed.

Magnificent place. Has a certain warmth like home. Very accommodating and polite staff with a great smile.

My husband was in short term respite. He was treated with respect, dignity and love. The staff love their work and their residents and it permeates throughout the gorgeous building. The enterainment director, Simone Rowe, has a real eye for decorating and the parties are absolutely special along with the entertainment. Always happy residents.

Since 2015, my mother & father had the pleasure of living at Canterbury Place Retirement Residence in Toronto. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with every aspect of their experience. My mother has since moved on to a Long Term Care facility and I can honestly say that we miss life at Canterbury. First and foremost, the management team and staff at Canterbury Place are exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that every resident feels valued, respected, and cared for. Their dedication to providing personalized attention and support is truly commendable. Whether it was assisting with daily activities, organizing engaging social events, or simply offering a friendly smile and conversation, the staff consistently demonstrated their commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive community. The facilities at Canterbury Place are top-notch. The residence is beautifully designed, with clean, spacious and comfortable living areas that exude a sense of tranquility and elegance. The suites are thoughtfully designed, providing a safe and spacious layout allowing ample room for walking devices. Floor to ceiling sliding doors and windows provide abundant natural light and dual access to a large balcony with incredible views of busy Yonge Street and the City. The common areas, such as the dining room, multiple lounges, cafes, games room, terraces and state of the art theatre are tastefully decorated and offer a perfect space for socializing and relaxation. Each floor has been recently updated with new corridor carpeting and is equipped with newly renovated laundry facilities. One of the highlights of my parents stay was the exceptional “white glove” dining experience at Canterbury Place. The culinary team consistently delivered delicious and nutritious meals, catering to a variety of dietary preferences and restrictions. The menu featured a wide range of options, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The dining staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every meal was a delightful experience. I regularly enjoyed joining my parents for lunch and/or dinner. The range of activities and amenities available at Canterbury Place is truly impressive. From fitness classes and wellness programs to cultural outings and educational workshops, there is something for everyone. The robust programming schedule is thoughtful and full of variety. The Life Enrichment team really make an effort and are creative in bringing variety of interesting, engaging and fun activities to the residents. The sense of community fostered through these activities and amenities is invaluable, creating opportunities for socializing, making new friends, and pursuing personal interests. Since COVID, the residence has implemented comprehensive protocols and measures to ensure the well-being of all residents. From regular health screenings to 24/7 emergency response systems, every precaution is taken to provide a secure and comfortable living environment. The nursing team are extremely knowledgeable, reliable and organized when it comes to the dynamics of medication management and caring for the acute and long term medical needs of the residents. The team of PSWs are so loving and patient. They form genuine relationships with the residents that compel them to go above and beyond their basic job requirements. Overall, my parents (and my), experience at Canterbury Place Retirement Residence was nothing short of exceptional. The management team should be commended as the overall product offering has been materially elevated in recent years. All aspects of the facility and services is considered in my opinion to be extremely “high touch” but not stuffy. The combination of outstanding staff, beautiful facilities, delectable dining, engaging activities, and a strong sense of community truly sets this residence apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Canterbury Place to anyone seeking a retirement community that prioritizes dignity, comfort, care, and a vibrant lifestyle.

This is a great retirement community. It is diverse, warm and friendly. There are fun and interesting resident activities and good cuisine. Staff and management are friendly and supportive. The healthcare professionals and team are very attentive and responsive. It gives me peace of mind to know that my Father is so well taken care of.
