My mother-in-law lived at the Village for five years and absolutely loved it. The care team is extremely friendly and accommodating and did a great job of keeping the residents safe and comfortable through the pandemic. The food is good, the facilities are first class and the entire complex is well-maintained. The lovely gardens provide great opportunity for outdoor exercise and enjoyment and many outings are offered for shopping and sightseeing. All the staff are very friendly, professional and caring. The Village is a great place to live!

My father has been here almost a year. At 100 years young, he finds the accommodations and the entire staff to be wonderful, as does his immediate family. He's mostly independent but with failing eyesight, he needs an escort to go between all the events, and his 3 meals a day which they easily accommodate, like clockwork. Meds given in his room 3x per day by AHS LPNs and PSW's. Meals may be the highlight for him. Maybe not Michelin, but pretty darn good. Highly recommended in 2023. All inclusive studio apartment, with all services, meals, etc less than $4000/mo as of November 2023. Good value imho.

Lake bonavista was my first retirement home to check out. Lbv has an ambiance and a home feeling that you don't find in other retirement places. The relaxed way in which we were shown around amidst the contented looking residents was positive. During my time here, I've found a very friendly staff who go out of their way to assist you. The meals are great along with lots of activities to do. There are many walking areas to explore. In here, it's been a learning experience in the aging process and what you can do to stay active and healthy. A great place to be.

My Dad moved into Lake Bonavista Village in December 2021 after living in his own home since 1964. It was such a huge move and yet, he picked the best place to move to. From our very first meeting, my Dad felt welcome. On our tour of the facility, residents unsolicited asked if he was thinking of moving in. When he said yes, they all shared how much they loved living there and how well they were taken care of. They told him he would not regret moving there and they were right. Everyone, from the front reception to the dining room (and Bistro) as well as the nursing team treated my Dad (and me) as family. They knew our names and knew what my Dad liked to do and made sure he was ok, every single day. Unfortunately, my Dad only lived there for 8 months as he passed away in August 2022. Yet I am grateful for the love and kindness that everyone at Lake Bonavista Village gave him while he was there.

The staff and residents welcomed my mom, making the transition from her home to living there a good and easy experience. The entire family felt welcome to visit anytime and watching the great grandkids play in the pool was a highlight for her. What with the shows, fitness classes, sing alongs and meeting with friends at the bistro her social life blossomed. It was easy to arrange for her grandchildren and even their little ones to join her for meals in the dining room. She enjoyed the choice and quality of food and looked forward to dining with her tablemates and the friendly accommodating staff.

Four stars! My older neighbours are now at this location so I visit them when I can!

Phenomenal place to have a connection with aging adults & have conversations about the words "old" and "creativity" Awesome inspirational place to visit. Awesome inspirational people to visit too!

Exceptional community! My mom and dad have lived there since 2013. The staff treats them with such kindness. It's as if my parents were their parents. Thank you very much, Garrison Green! I am so fond of this place that I volunteer there, showing movies and leading sing-a-longs with my dad.
