SIFTON - THE WESTHILL

An exceptional luxury retirement residence that supersedes all expectations of a retirement home. Spacious corridors and shared areas are highlighted by an open concept main area where there's a pub, games room and more. You'll love the thoroughly modern, well-kept interior spaces at the Westhill; it feels new everywhere.

Both my dad and I have had very positive experience with staff. They're happy to answer questions. I do think one of the significant changes is actually how I feel. It has given me great relief. I used to have a lot of sleepless nights. I was always worried about: what if something happened? I just feel so much relief and confidence. I know that many times a day someone is coming in to provide medication or to take his temperature or whatever. If he didn't show up at the dining room, someone would come and check... I think this relates to the social [aspect] as well. It was getting pretty isolating in his apartment. I know that if he wants to be engaged with other people, he can go out the door and find other people. That has been huge for me, too.

I live here, and enjoy it.

My father lived at the village and not a day went by that I ever had any doubt that he was receiving the best of care.

Staff were wonderful to my Dad even though he was only there for 2 months... I would recommend this place to anyone.

When we visit, it feels as 'homey' as it can for anyone with a family member with Alzheimer's Disease. None of us mind going there, it's so bright and welcoming with many comforts... Staff are terrific.

My Dad loves this place which is home to him.

Lovely! We think that my sister is happy with retirement residence. It is very well run.

Right from the start, I liked how bright it was. When you walk in the entrance here, it's all very welcoming. People came out from playing bingo and they welcomed me right then and there. The people here are very friendly. When I arrived I had a great resident mentor who invited me to things and got me involved in all the activities, allowing me to meet other residents. My family really enjoys their visits. My grandchildren and I have gone to exercise classes, we've enjoyed family dinners in the dining room and my daughter joins me for the theatre excursions. My children even come to the bar on Friday's to have a drink with me!

One of my favourite activities at The Westhill are brain games,they keep your mind sharp and challenged. There is always so much going on here, it's sort of like living on a cruise ship! Bank runs and The Boardwalk loop are so convenient and the staff feels like family! Without question, I would recommend The Westhill to others. It's a great place to live and my transition was so easy. Any issues are addressed immediately. If you need a lightbulb changed , you come down to the reception and they have it replaced within half a day. Little things like that add up. I'm very impressed with this Sifton company. They've been around 95 years, they know what they're doing.

Progressive, first class ... helpful and caring staff.
