One-to-one comparison

THE WELLINGTON

The Wellington offers a unique combination of affordability and luxury amenities in an established area of Hamilton. We love its holistic approach to senior living, from its pet-friendly policy to the staff, who bring a tell-tale enthusiasm to their work. The combination of independent living with long term care makes it ideal for couples with varying needs to stay together in one community.

The staff were so friendly and caring. The facility was warm, inviting, and clean. Sadly our Dad was there just a short time - he had only good things to say. He really, really liked the food.

All the staff, are so personable. Beds are made and room cleaned daily.

I could not ask for a more caring and dedicated group of people. The Wellington has proven to be a wonderful place. During the Pandemic..they protected residents like they were their own loved ones...keeping their Spirits up with music, dance and "Wacky Hair Days” posted regularly on Facebook. During the time when we were unable to visit ... the staff made regular Skype calls for the Residents.The Wellington turned out to be the best place for my Mother.

My Mother received excellent care while a resident at The Wellington. The Wellington has caring and highly qualified nursing and personal support staff as well as a fabulous Residents Support Services Unit that works very hard to provide residents with interesting, fun and entertaining activities on a daily basis. All staff have done an amazing job keeping the residents safe and entertained during the present COVID -19 outbreak.

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.
