How fortunate my friend chose Applewood for her retirement years. Dedicated staff are committed to the happiness and well-being of residents and care for them with compassion and love. Residents have the opportunity to join many recreational activities that will improve health and well-being. Lasting friendships are made. We are lucky to have a place like Applewood where residents are treated like family.

This is one of the best retirement facilities in Peterborough and surrounding area. The staff is outstanding and very caring with every resident 24/7. We compared several of the other facilities in and around Peterborough and in my opinion Applewood is the best. We have been living at Applewood Retirement for just over 9 months now, and it's been a great experience and a wonderful place to live. We have an Orchardside apartment with a gorgeous view of Applewood's private park area with a paved walking path, which is great if you require a walker or wheelchair to get around. The food has been great as well.

Thirty days in Applewood, Peterborough, Ontario provided me with exactly the R&R I most needed after hip surgery. The professional nursing and PSW care available to me were enormously reassuring. The meals were excellent. I enjoyed a serviced, spacious, and comfortable room with bathroom and balcony at an affordable price and the opportunity to exercise regularly both inside and outside the building in a safe and delightful environment. My good fortune to recuperate among others in a situation like mine as well as to socialize with interesting long-term residents, added to my satisfaction and education. All staff at Applewood are welcoming, caring, efficient, patient, and courteous. I am delighted to have made the decision to spend 30 days here. Applewood’s services, activities and facilities guaranteed simpler and faster recuperation for me and, of equal importance, essential reassurance, relief, and respite for my wife! I highly recommend Applewood and its attentive and conscientious staff for post-surgery rehabilitation.

Mom has lived at Applewood for 7 years & it has been her home where staff are kind & caring, going beyond their job descriptions to help whoever needs it. All the staff, from top to bottom, have kept their residents safe during the Covid epidemic but also tried to make life interesting & fun in spite of all the extra work they've had to do. Applewood is at the top of any list of long term homes anywhere as far as we are concerned!

Since moving my dad into Applewood a few years ago we have had constant peace of mind knowing that he is well taken care of and yet has his independence. The staff at Applewood have always gone above and beyond to ensure a wonderful place for everyone. I now have other family members living at Applewood and we would highly recommend this residence to anyone.

Beautiful spot in the country! Friendly and caring staff who go above and beyond every day! I highly recommend it!!!!

I always thought that living in a retirement home is the last thing I wanted to do – so I stayed in my house as long as I could. Today I know better – my only regret is that I did not come sooner to Golden Pond.

The folks at Golden Pond are really doing a terrific job of providing for all residents.

My wife and I lived here for 6 years, before Edna passed on. This is a most wonderful place to live if you are older and need someone to look after all your shortcomings. Golden Pond enables them to live life again, while feeling safe and secure.

I would never have thought that after working here for so many years, I would become a resident myself. But here you go – I just love it. It’s just like coming home again. The mission statement of GP is just so true: You are treated here the same way you want to be treated.
