One-to-one comparison

THE VILLAGE OF RIVERSIDE GLEN

This Guelph retirement home creates a vibrant community for seniors, where all care requirements are well taken care of. The word “community” applies strongly to Riverside Glen; it truly feels like a village, where people look out for each other, know each other by name, and come to care about each other personally. Its innovative architecture, laid out like a small town, is a seniors-friendly environment that includes a general store, library, an outdoor cafe, a hairdresser, and other outlets. The village concept also extends to residents living in neighbourhoods where every wing has people with similar care needs.

This community began as exclusively long term care, which will still be a key part of the Village. The spectrum of options will include both assisted living and memory care. This will make it ideal for couples with different care needs to remain together in the same community, if one spouse is independent, but the other requires care. It’s also ideal for families and seniors who anticipate shifting care needs in the future. You won’t need to move again.

I am so happy with Riverside Glen being my mother’s new home! Everyone is so friendly and kind and have been very supportive with this transition for her and myself. I highly recommend this retirement village.

Such a beautiful place & community. It made me quite jealous of my Grams upon visiting, actually! The main staff were fantastic & super helpful. So many amenities & activities to do for visitors too.

Highly recommended. Staff is terrific and very good at the job they do. Very clean place. My wife is living there and she's very happy there, which makes me happy because I'm like the knight protecting my Queen. There I need no armor because she's well looked after.

They treat my mother amazingly well. Very happy with the staff.

Any time there is a problem, staff are quick to notify me, or just let me know of issues. They are very kind and professional and I know my mum is in a good place with lovely surroundings.

We had an amazing time with our mother Lein Schout for her 101 bday a great visit and dinner at the Ruby restaurant.

Beautiful residence. Great staff. Truly a village atmosphere.

The Ruby Restaurant is located on the 10th floor and has an incredible view. We all enjoyed our lunches. Salads are fresh and tasty, fish and chips were excellent and desserts delicious. Our waitress was excellent and the Chef came to introduce himself. I liked the fact that we were able to chat with one another in a relaxed setting and hear one another! Cocktails, wine and beer available, and other non-alcoholic drinks. There is handicapped parking. Everyone was so friendly here.

All staff, nurses, and doctors are the best, and caring.

A very home-like and caring atmosphere.

THE VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

Our Village is a proud part of a Canadian family tradition of community building that goes back 70 years. The first Schlegel family home became the foundation of what Schlegel Villages is today. Here at The Village at University Gates, we offer several lifestyle options to meet a variety of needs. Our continuum of care allows for residents to age with us in place as their needs change. The residents we serve come from a range of backgrounds that thread together the fabric of our community, and while we know resident-centredness is a term that many lean on these days, we truly do focus on each individual’s wishes to guide our approach to service. Our Signature Programs help us focus on the individuality of each resident we serve. Our LIVING in My Today dementia care philosophy, for example, was developed by our team and our partners alongside people with lived experience. This provides our team the opportunity to learn exactly what it means to support a person who is experiencing the changing perceptions of dementia. We also celebrate the Wisdom of the Elder as another Signature Program, thanks to the inspiration of our founder Ron Schlegel. Ron once said: “The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders,” and we honour the individual and collective wisdom of those we serve in ways large and small.
