PORT CREDIT RESIDENCES - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

Innovation and newness are a hallmark of life at Port Credit Residences. This was one of the first GTA communities to employ the Brain Gym program, which helps train seniors in improving their memory and handling stress. The program even throws in some physical exercise. The availability of the community's nurse practitioner was also a Toronto first, when the building opened in 2011. Visiting "therapy dogs" are one more aspect of life at Port Credit Residences that make this community stand out.

My Aunt has lived here for the last 4 years and now unfortunately she must move on to Long Term Care. I couldn't leave without telling other people how Fabulous this place is! Port Credit Residences has very friendly, caring and helpful staff that always try to do their very best! The residence is clean and welcoming and has lots of activities for the residents. The food is great and varied. And it's in a terrific location - so close to everything. I always felt peaceful & secure in knowing my aunt was well looked after between my weekly visits. Thanks again to all the Staff for all their hard work! :-)

My mother-in-law lived in the Port Credit Residences... in the nicest one bedroom suite. It had a beautiful view of a park and a swimming pool. The facility was great, the food excellent and staff really made the difference. I used to drop in on my walk home from the GO Station to say hello to her. She was very well taken care of there until her passing. Recently I had a reason to reach out to the Residences to try and find help for someone very dear to me. Unannounced I walked in one day and ended up speaking to some of the nursing staff. I left a message and before I knew it Eva Triolo (the manager) called me. She remembered my mother-in-law and generously took the time to help me find the help I was looking for. I cannot speak highly enough about the facility and satff. They are the best.

So vibrant and active. It's an environment I'd pick for myself. We've had a lot of comfort with my mom being there. The residence was very welcoming for my mom. When you have a coffee in the common area, you get a feeling for what the community is like [and] my mom chose this because she found it friendly and warm.

Our mother lived for over six years in this most wonderful retirement home. I cannot say enough in praise of Port Credit Residences; a well run establishment. The staff at PRC are very caring and go above and beyond their job descriptions in making their residences feel at home and their families welcome. The staff became our friends; all of them from the ladies in the front office, to the reception desk, nurse practitioner, nursing staff, dining room, recreational staff and maintenance were all caring and helpful. The chefs prepare delicious, inventive meals every day. Special attention is always put forth in celebration of all calendar events. I want to give a word of thanks to Jackie and Eva who were our first contacts at PCR. We were convinced from the first meeting that we had made a good choice of retirement home for our mother. These ladies continued to be thoughtful and helpful throughout my mother’s stay. During the past few years dealing with Covid 19, strict protocols were put in place and adhered to. We all felt safe and protected. When it was time for my mother to move on to long term care recently, she was very sad to leave all her friends that she had made here. Our family can honestly say that our feelings about Port Credit Residences, as a great place to live, have not changed from the day we first visited, over six years ago.

Mom has recently moved into Port Credit Residences and is still in her 14 day quarantine period. Fabulous meals are delivered to her door, enough for sharing or tucking in a mini fridge for later. The room is spacious and cleaned weekly for residents. She occupies her time watching children playing in the park or on the skating rink. A nurse visits regularly for temperature checks to ensure resident health safety. Jigsaws are delivered to the door, during quarantine, with a simple call to reception or a note left outside the door. And activity staff regularly provide games to challenge the mind. Her favourite day so far, her birthday, when a glass of white wine was delivered with best wishes. Can't wait for the okay for her to be able to join in and wander about with other resident, we are counting the days. A shout-out to Eva and Jackie, thank you for making her feel welcome.

My father-in-law has been well cared for. Food, services [like] cleaning, healthcare are all very good. They have entertainment for the seniors weekly with different activities scheduled including exercise classes. They care for each person individually.

My mother has always been happy making new friends. This time she could not miss Teodora at EverGreen Retirement Community, a very nice lady who likes to [have] fun with people -- and on the other hand get things done seriously and smartly. As the result my father not only decided to try Evergreen Retirement Community but also asks my mother to join him. So today is a big day for them: they found a new home with impressive services and professionalism, with welcoming surprises.

Evergreen Retirement Home in Mississauga is one of the best retirement homes in Ontario. I would like first to express my gratitude to Mrs Teodora Elez , community relations manager helped me a lot in settling my father in a short period of time in their assisted living. I am grateful to all her efforts. Secondly, I would like to thank every person working in the home from the: 1-Front desk: Uma and her friendly and welcoming smile. 2-Nurses in 2nd floor and their dedicated work. 3-PSW in 2d floor and their dedicated work in showering and changing clothes. 4-Chefs in the kitchen and their yummy menu. 5-Room service and their cleaning work. Everyone is welcoming and helping. I would like to thank each person in this home . I would definitely recommend it to any senior. I rate them ***** Five Stars Retirement Home

It feels like family. This retirement community is amazing the nurses are very friendly and caring. The manager Melody is very kind and attentive. Any issues you have, just go directly to her and she will be able to help to you. I am very grateful to have my father staying and becoming a member of the Evergreen family.

We have visited several retirement homes, and from the moment we met Teodoro Elez in the beautifully bright atrium, we knew we were in the right place for me. Teodora was understanding of my needs immediately. She gave me several options and seemed to know what I would enjoy. I made my mind up on the spot that Evergreen will be lovely new home for the rest of my life. Teodora is such a kind and caring person as were Brendan, Melody, Teresa and Marlene, the other staff I had the pleasure of meeting.
