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.

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.”
