One-to-one comparison

LIVITA CENTENNIAL RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

As you drive up to Livita Centennial Retirement Residence, you’ll be impressed by the neatness and the clean contemporary look of the building. There’s a charming gazebo that serves as an outdoor meeting place, and you’ll also notice the gardens. Inside is a welcoming lobby, replete with a grand piano. It’s immediately spacious and comfortable. If those things make a nice first impression, what really really matters is how residents live well here.

LIVITA CENTENNIAL RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

In 2019, we went around touring retirement homes for my 85 year old mother. As soon as we walked into Livita Centennial we immediately knew we had found the right place. This home has a different feel than all the rest. It's cosy, warm, and like sitting in your own living room. It feels non-institutional. My Mum was there for four years. The wonderful staff are so friendly, and are genuinely caring and very attentive to the residents. They get to know all the residents and their families. During a recent hospitalization, several of the staff even went to visit my Mum. I never worried about my mother while she was there. I always knew she was being taken care of. If you are looking for a retirement home for your loved one, I highly recommend this one. I would give it a 10 if I could. And to all the staff at Livita, a big thank you for all you did for my mother!

We were looking for a retirement home for Mom & Dad. It's a big decision and Joanne provided an informative tour, no pressure and worked very hard to help us find the perfect suite, a comfortable moving date and helped us find a terrific moving company. Once Mom and Dad arrived the staff made them feel very welcome, they worked with us to make sure all their needs were met and helped them get involved in activities . We're very happy we chose Livita Centennial Retirement home.

My mother has viewed a few retirement homes and Centennial is now top of the list! It has all the facilities she requires without being too big. Joanne (the marketing manager) was kind and helpful not just to us but to all the residents we encountered on our tour. This made a very positive impression. My Mom just needs to make the decision now to move from her home!

Wonderful place. Joanne Nichols is amazing Everything just fell into place and there was no pressure! wonderful Staff as well as residents.

I used to live in Livita Centennial Retirement Home and I left. The only reason that I left was to go and live with a friend out of town in their home, where we could share expenses and watch out for each other. Living in Centennial for a year was a wonderful experience. The meals were good. If you did not want what was being offered, you always had alternate choices. Snacks and coffee were always available 24/7. Important to me. The staff was excellent. I cannot believe how genuinely caring they all were, particularly to those who needed it the most. It must have been how employees were selected as it seemed to come natural to them. (Not really something that can be taught.) I kept myself active in the year that I was there, with the many activities that were offered at the home and my walks throughout the community and shopping ventures. If my situation changed, I think I would gladly return to Centennial. Perhaps I may see you there some day.

I have quickly adjusted to the new environment. People are very friendly and willing to talk about their lives. There are a lot of activities that one can take part of as well as trips to other locations. The environment outside is excellent for walks when needed. The accommodation unit is quite sizeable and is well-maintained and cleaned regularly. I strongly recommend this place.

I am a new resident at Harmony Hills, moved in a little over 2 months ago. The help and kindness of the staff, especially Nancy and Tammy helped me with the transition from my home to a Seniors apartment. The services and activities available are extensive and tailored to keep Seniors active and engaged. The best discovery at Harmony Hills is the warmth and friendliness of my new neighbors. So pleased I moved here.

I have only been a part of the Harmony Hill family for a short time and already feel a huge part of it….the reason for that is the incredible staff and residents that make you feel at home the minute you take over your ‘new home’. I enjoy being part of the volunteer team, helping in any way we can..I’m so glad I chose Harmony Hill, and if you decide to check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

My father moved in to Harmony Hill in the fall of 2023 and he loves it. The suites are modern and suitable for people who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs, scooters and walkers. Lots of activities every day so he always has something to look forward to. He has also been enjoying the convenience of nightly dinners in the dining hall and has said the food is great.

My mom moved into Harmony Hill three months ago. She is so happy! From our first meeting with Nancy to the assessment with Tammy and Raezel my mom has been treated with respect, care and compassion. Every member of the staff is incredible, so friendly and eager to help. Harmony Hill is beautifully appointed and so welcoming. It is the perfect environment for seniors to enjoy and thrive. My mom considers it a privilege and a pleasure to call Harmony Hill “home.”
