One-to-one comparison

DELMANOR NORTHTOWN

This is a first-rate Toronto retirement home. Aside from the exceptional facilities, the care staff on hand is highly professional and sociable. Families of seniors who move here feel great relief at having found such well-rounded care. Delmanor's industry-leading reputation is built on the lifestyle they provide in places like Northtown.

FORESTVIEW RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

One unique aspect of Forestview is a monthly residents' meeting, where your opinion gets heard on issues like upcoming events, as well as any other suggestions you have. That extra personal attention is seen also in the care options available. There are regular services like laundry and medication management, of course, but Forestview goes beyond that. For example, you can create your own personalized care plan that meets your specific needs, adding a la carte services as you require.

My father spent his final decade in the wonderful community and care of Delmanor. Bless you all.

Delmanor was home to my uncle for about 15 years. During this time the staff went above and beyond in helping to care for him and always make him feel at home. Tracy, Sabina, Tatiana, Arlene, the entire nursing staff, and the concierges were always reliable, friendly, and compassionate. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did.

I am beyond blessed to call Delmanor Northtown my home away from home. Over the last 5 years, I have had an opportunity to work with the most cohesive, compassionate, caring team that give 110% of themselves every day! The residents are incredible individuals who fill my days with programs, events, stories and most of all, their companionship and love. I can not think of a better place to work or a better place for our residents to be and stay engaged, active and live their best lives. Thank you to the amazing team and residents!

The general manager, Matt, says it all “we work in our residents’ home” - Delmanor Northtown feels like home. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to make connections with residents and family, and to accommodate your needs. The suites and amenities are well-designed and well maintained. And a special acknowledgment of the care and concern demonstrated during the initial COVID-19 lockdown and ongoing to keep residents safe and healthy, and to keep family informed. I would definitely recommend Delmanor Northtown to anyone looking to downsize and join a warm and inviting retirement community.

Our mother has been a Delmanor Northtown resident for ten years and is now in her late 90s. We appreciate the evolving care she has received during this time to accommodate age related health challenges... We have been consistently appreciative of the outstanding covid safety protocols that the staff have undertaken, keeping all residents safe. [posted to Google in August 2021]

Forestview Retirement Residence has been excellent from the very first phone call! My elderly dad fell and needed temporary care, which Forestview offered. A respite suite was immediately set up for him, and we were welcomed by name by the staff as we walked through the doors. The accommodations are clean and spacious. The food, offered both in the dining room and in my dad's room, is delicious. The extra care provided for my dad is gentle, sensitive and personal. He feels very cared for, which makes us, his adult kids, feel relieved that he is attended to respectfully. From the General Manager all the way down to the helpers, including social workers, dining room attendants, maintenance and all other administrators, we continue to be treated with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. I am SO GRATEFUL to have found Forestview Retirement, and highly recommend it to anyone who needs extra care for their elderly loved ones.

My late husband and I chose Forestview as we thought this is the best one after visiting a lot of places. Living here for 5 years now, I can say that Forestview is a nice and a friendly environment. The view of the grounds is beautiful, quiet, well paved and with lots of beautiful birds on the trees. The staff are very approachable, personable and if they're new, they always take the time to know us by name. There's lots of activities to promote our brain health and to really help preserve both our physical and cognitive abilities.

The food, service and quality of accommodations are great... If your loved one is independent, it is a great retirement residence.

Forestview is very honest about their pricing, and very prompt and frequent with their communication. My mom lived on the assisted living floor for a short time before she died. Apart from one person working the front desk, everyone (at least 2 dozen staff) I encountered working there was friendly, caring, kind, loving and approachable. My mom needed a private PSW to stay with her that we hired from outside Forestview. There were 5 different PSWs that we brought in to help my mom, and every single one of them said Forestview was the nicest home they had ever worked in. The nurses (especially Marites) and PSWs (especially Bibiana), and dining staff at Forestview are extremely hard working and they treat the residents like they are their own family. The sales team and management team are honest and helpful. If they don't know the answer to a question, they find out for you. Parking is easy and free. The residence is secure and safe.

Our mother moved onto the assisted care floor 3 months ago and we are very pleased. She moved from a good independent living retirement home. Anna, the Wellness Director, has been open and responsive to dialogue and has done things to improve our mother’s physical and mental well-being. The doctor, who is on-site once per week, has been a good listener and has helped as well. The staff response times and the integration with LIHN workers have been great. The staff all seem to know her name and have encouraged her to participate in many activities. Forestview has lovely grounds and is tucked in a quiet corner that you don’t even know you are in busy Toronto. We are happy with this move and the friendly and caring environment at Forestview
