OCEANA PARC

Oceana PARC offers a great experience to our family member, and the front-line staff are wonderful. We were there for dinner as guests this past Sunday and had a lovely meal and great service from Stacey in the dining room. I hope I get to retire somewhere as nice as the Oceana Parc and its facilities when I'm ready for an independent living apartment.

My mother moved in November [2022] and the 3 months have been amazing for her and our whole family. The suites are very well set up, the view and balcony open her world up. The staff is so efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of social activities! The food options are wholesome, delicious and a wide variety. Security minded but never overbearing, we know that mom is safe but family and friends can visit daily. I couldn’t think of a better place and experience for us to have chosen.

I was just a visitor here but made to feel very welcome. Thanks to Sue Bolton, Activity Advisor and her enthusiastic staff. A friendly and very relaxing atmosphere. I can see why so many people call it home.

We moved my 87 year old mom into Independent Living at PARC Retirement Living. We were worried and she was scared...... Now, we are a month in and I have difficulty getting a hold of her. Why? Because she has relished PARC Retirement Living Oceana. Kirk Lively and the rest of the team at Oceana have welcomed her and made her feel at home. The activities are great, she attend fitness classes everyday, goes out on field trips to places that I have not seen. Her personal space is beautiful and while she misses her home- she doesn't seem to have much time to do so.

I am so glad to have made the decision to call Oceana Parc my home for the past month. During Covid I was not socializing and ended up quite depressed. If I want company here I can find it easilly enough. I have shared a table in the Dining Room with many Residents. You sit where you want and with whom you want to. You partake in activities if you want to. It's all up to you. If I have a problem all I have to do is talk to my Sales Representative Kirk and he takes the problem and solves it for me ... everything from my food allergies (they always make me something I can eat) to my blinds not closing correctly. I can finally smile again! Life is great!

SUNNYSIDE MANOR

We recently moved our mother into Sunnyside. From the first tour through to now our experience has been nothing but positive. Management and staff are quick to respond and accommodate our requests/needs Staff makes it a friendly and welcoming environment. The building is clean and has a homelike comfortable vibe. We feel Sunnyside is using an abundance of caution when it comes to health and safety keeping mom safe. Update: Our mother has now been here over two years now. We have spent much time there, more in common areas than mom’s suite. We’ve gotten to know all the staff and most residents. You can sum Sunnyside up like this. Sunnyside can be your loved one’s residence, or it can become their community, or it can become family. You get out of it what you want to put in. We love being a part of the Sunnyside family. The manager has a real heart for people and her staff has years of experience.

Mom moved into Sunnyside Manor in November 2019. Shortly after her move, there was a change in management and the noticeable shift that has happened since is quite remarkable. New programs were implemented within the confines of Covid and adjustments were made to make life easier for the residents. Personally this really helped me feel better about mom being there since I live far away and visitation was restricted. Dealing with the shifting restrictions we experienced during 2020 and continue to through 2021, is a testament to the care brought to Sunnyside Manor residents and staff by their management team. The menu has improved significantly! It’s obvious Chef Louise and the kitchen team really care that the residents have delicious and healthy meals and are introducing new food items to keep things interesting and adventurous. A big change. I also appreciate the additional information sessions introduced to the residents on healthcare, new food item introductions, insurance, etc. as well as activities (art and tai chi!) to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing. I feel these sessions help with the residents feeling active and engaged in life. I enjoy seeing photos and updates on the activities on their Facebook page every day! I would recommend Sunnyside Manor to anyone looking for a retirement community for their family member! [They've made] mom's life easier.

I visit a friend here and I must say the quality and care they staff put into the place is amazing. The activities were well planned and the food is really good. Very impressed that the in house chef made food which also caters to dietary restrictions. My friend is very happy here.

Sunnyside Manor has vastly improved under the change in management [in 2021] as evident by the thriving residents and happier staff! Food has improved immensely as they've introduced fresh produce and improved their menu significantly. You can tell the staff really care about the well being of their residents by providing additional informational sessions and activities to improve their health and fitness. Sunnyside also has close ties to Harmony Health and other healthcare providers in the immediate area to provide those with more complex medical needs with the help they deserve, which is a huge bonus. I would recommend anyone looking for a new home to look at Sunnyside Manor. The team there will take care of all your needs.

I was inquiring about a place for my father to live and the staff were very friendly and assisted me greatly. I am very excited to have found this home for my dad.
