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.

This building has it all for Toronto seniors. Condo ownership is available for those looking to invest. Rental suites offer exceptional retirement features, with some assistance available. This results in an integrated community, where seniors can decide to switch from condo ownership to care, in a community they're already familiar with. The best thing about the Parkland, though, is the unique combination of in-building luxuries and abundant conveniences just outside the door.

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.

Lovely staff and ambiance!

I can’t say enough great things about Parkland on the Glen and its staff. My dad has made it his home for 4 years and loves it. The staff are always friendly, helpful, caring and respectful. Their wide variety of activities, services and delicious meals are topped off with a beautiful setting.

Mom is opening up her circle of friends since moving here. There’s a real down east, hometown feel to it. You see this in different aspects of the community there,[especially in] some of the activities that they run. There’s a family feeling [in] a small community where everybody knows everybody, everyone says hello. It’s comfortable.

We're really connected here. We're a close family, and everyone (kids and grandkids) are all within 10 minutes. [This place] has everything you would want or need, it's wonderful.

Things like in-house yoga classes are a great opportunity to socialize ... You are never too old to adopt new traditions.
