Hygate Active Senior Living brings a welcome new twist to senior living in Kitchener-Waterloo, with a focus on resort-style living right in the heart of KW. Here, you’ll find a wealth of daily activities and amenities right outside your door, including fitness classes, a bistro, chef-prepared meals, an in-house movie theatre, and more. Some are going to call this a cruise ship on land.
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.
I don't write a lot reviews, but felt I should pass on my positive experience for the benefit of others. This retirement residence is just awesome! Our family just finished helping Mum and Dad move into Hygate Assisted Living last week and the whole experience has been fantastic. The accommodation and amenities are first class and the service my parents have received has been super or "unreal" as my Dad says. We looked at a few retirement residences in K-W, and chose Hygate for a number of reasons - including because it is a new facility; has a warm/welcoming feel to it and we could see first hand the dedication of the staff to meet the needs of their residents. Krystie and Celia, in particular, have been so great to work with. One of the issues Mum and Dad were worried about was the food and dining - I can tell you Dad loves the food (especially the deserts - lol) and staff have been very accommodating helping him pick out items for him to take up to his suite for my Mum when needed. All in all and 5 Star rating for sure!
Lovely facility and staff, particularly Krystie who really went above and beyond making us feel welcome and valued.
We are in the process of moving our Mom into Hygate and dealing with Krystie and Celia has been exceptionally great! They have reassured us that our needs will be met and we couldn't be happier. The retirement home is absolutely beautiful and the facility is very bright and clean! We're looking forward to experiencing all the services that are offered and particularly the dining. I would strongly check it out and take a tour if you are even remotely considering retirement living. The staff is wonderful!
Our parents recently moved to Hygate from over 3 hours away. We chose Hygate for their friendly staff, cozy environment, and welcoming atmosphere.
From the moment we walked into Hygate and were greeted by Teddy the Sales Manager's dog, I felt like this was the perfect place for my in-laws to transition to. The facility is beautiful, but more than that, the staff treat you so kindly. The Sales Manager Krystie Zolnai was very thorough and never rushed us during our extensive tour and the ensuing paperwork - with Teddy at our side accepting head scratches. I have toured several other facilities but chose Hygate for its many amenities available for the residents and the caring staff who all spoke to us and answered all of our questions. Celia is the Nurse Leader and was very interested in my in-laws' health so that they knew about any concerns or special needs. No other home took interest in who my in-laws really were as human beings deserving dignity and respect in their final years. I feel very confident that my in-laws will fit in well and importantly, make new friends and be happy and healthy. I feel strongly that pets are important in our lives - and especially the elderly - it was definitely the little things that made our decision to choose Hygate so easy.
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.
