LIVITA BARRINGTON RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

When you first pull into the Livita Barrington, it feels like a drive into a secluded, well-maintained estate. The setting is peaceful and calming, next to a private school, in an area populated by mature trees. For people making a move later in life, if that setting feels welcoming, it’s merely the basis for the warm, friendly community that you’ll find here. This is a move into a new home that truly feels homey.

Seniors and family members agree that the Roxborough renews people's enjoyment of life. That begins with the reinvigoration of moving into a clean, still-new place—but that’s deepened by the day-to-day environment here. It's a revelation to people how great life can be in a place where they’re surrounded by fellow seniors and service-minded staff.

This review is long overdue, but it's important to express our gratitude. From the outset, Joy and Glenda provided impeccable service and a white glove treatment for my grandmother's care transition and subsequent stay at Livita Barrington. Their effort and attention to detail were remarkable. Since moving in, my grandmother has felt incredibly at home, thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere fostered by the Barrington team. We can't thank Joy, Glenda, and the entire staff enough for their dedication and support.

My Mom lived at the Barrington for one year before needing long-term care. The staff is wonderful and the home is very well kept My thanks to Emily, Glenda, Joy on reception, and Christine, Mom's favourite PSW.

My Mom is the longest resident at The Barrington right now. We have always had good experiences but when Livita took over it became that much better. Emily, Amy, the Joys and all the staff are wonderful. Lots of smiles and encouragement to join in the fun for the families. I applaud them all and their efforts

Through my experience I would not want my grandparents anywhere else. The care team genuinely care as if they are all one big family. Knowing the little details about the residents is what sets them apart. Things like knowing a favorite food or game is what makes the residents feel seen and cared for. They have set the bar for care so high it makes it hard to imagine being anywhere else.

The staff at Livita are over the top professional and kind to all the residents. Our dad has been a resident for a couple of years and calls his room "home". Meals are excellent and nutritious. Extra activities are frequent and enjoyable. We have a real comfort level that dad is in a retirement home that respects him and his his every need.

I was very fortunate to have such a positive experience during my rehab at The Roxborough in April of this year. It is spear headed by Melanie. Melanie was in contact with me from setting the initial meeting to explain what was offered and allowed me to put my possessions in early to accommodate my surgery schedule. The staff on a whole were also very polite as was my case with the night attendants. Bringing more ice at night and adding a couple of cookies to tide me over. I would highly recommend The Roxborough for anyone's recuperation.

My wife Joyce and I moved into the Roxy in August and couldn't be more satisfied. Where does one start ? The staff are without exception - Fabulous ! The food is 5 star all the way as at each meal you always get options; is always the freshest imaginable; always served on linen table cloths; is changed after each person is finished dining and includes the nicest wait staff possible. Add to this, you can dine on your schedule ( with -in certain hours ) and choose to sit with new friends each meal OR sit at the same table with the same friends. Your choice. What could be better ?

I highly recommend the Roxborough for anyone considering retirement options for themselves or their loved ones. Dianne at the front desk is so friendly and always ready to help. Carrie, their Health & Wellness Manager goes above and beyond to coordinate services and reassess care plans as needs evolve. The building itself is well-maintained, cozy and chic. They offer a wide range of activities and events to keep residents actively engaged in the community. Safety features across the building provide peace of mind, allowing residents to live as independently as possible. My favourite feature was their large beautiful terrace. It has lots of space to walk around and raised garden beds for those who aren't ready to give up their backyards just yet.

When we were searching for a retirement residence for Willy, my mother-in-law, The Roxborough wasn't even on our radar. But by chance we took a tour of this Newmarket residence, right across the street from Southlake Hospital, and were immediately impressed by its cozy atmosphere, the warmth and kindness of its staff, and most importantly, the smiles we saw among many of The Roxborough's residents. This was an encouraging sign. Since then, after moving Willy into a suite facing a beautiful courtyard, we've been incredibly heartened by the care Willy has received in her new home. As a 97 year old, recently widowed lady who had been a social butterfly throughout her life, Willy has found a new community supported by caring professionals who seem to have made it their mission to bring comfort and security to its residents in their golden years.

During a very difficult time , all of the staff at Roxborough - especially Krista, made the transition so much easier. They went above and beyond to ensure an easy move. Since arrival, They are always there to help and offer assistance. All while having the most welcoming and pleasant manner. Couldn't have made a better choice for my mom.
