QUEENS ESTATE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - METTA LIFESTYLES

Queens Estate is an exceptionally well-organized care community, given its newness. We think that comes from Metta Lifestyles’ decades of experience offering senior care. Here, you’ll find a cosy, familiar environment, comforting to those needing assistance or dealing with symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease. It’s unique among area retirement homes in offering of a range of care options. Aside from personal assistance and memory care, the variety of stay options includes convalescent and guest stays as well as the provision for hiring your own home care. They're welcoming and flexible.

Both my parents stayed here before my father passed. Queens Estate is very good value. Excellent nursing care, staff, meals, and activities. It's also clean! I highly recommend it.

My mother resides at Queens Estate on the Memory floor. She moved in last year and I visit her there weekly. The adjustment was challenging for all of us but we as a family are very pleased with the level of care she receives at the residence. The staff is excellent and is led by Agnes, who shows her staff by example just what going the extra mile looks like. The main floor is always bright and changing with new themes and the activity calendar is packed with interesting and creative activities for everyone to enjoy. I'm very happy with the amount of love and the family-style atmosphere they have created at Queens Estate. I would highly recommend considering this retirement home for your loved one.

It has been just over one week since my father-in-law moved into Queens Estate. The staff are friendly, caring and very helpful. They have gone above and beyond to make sure all his needs are being met. We are very fortunate to have them for this next journey of his life.

I moved my dad there a few months ago, and I'm so glad I did! The staff are amazing! I can't stress that enough. They all know him by name and treat him so well. There's always activities and events going on. I feel safe knowing he's there and taken care of. The building itself is lovely, modern and bright. The suites are perfect size and also look great.

My aunt has been at Queens Estate since the early days when it first opened. I was recently visiting and loved the positive energy and vibe. Lots of activities going on for the residents to enjoy including dog and cat therapy which she loves. The staff is excellent and very attentive. The outside grounds are such a nice feature for the residents to enjoy. Thank you to Agnes, Bindi, Melissa, Donna and all the wonderful staff at Queens Estate for taking such great care of our loved ones!

The front lobby is very inviting…There's a really nice gathering space, a big assembly room for main events. There is a large dining room that has a terrace… There's a room called the Fireside Lounge where activities take place. There's a synagogue on the main floor… There's a really beautiful greenhouse and that's one of my favorite places to hang out. The greenhouse is always open and it's a very peaceful place… There are gym and pool facilities… There's an art room. There are yoga classes. [There are also] lots of group activities ranging from movie nights in the assembly room to, in the summer, there are ice cream socials and a barbecue. There are Yiddish classes. There are concerts every week. Really a range of things! There are lots of games… Bridge and Rummikub and Scrabble. And really nice grounds outside to walk. There's a beautiful walkway and it's very peaceful. People here pretty look out for each other, and if there's somebody new, they invite them to go to dinner with them or outside… the welcome couldn't be warmer.

It's a nice place to live. You're well taken care of… If you have a problem, there’s [always] a nurse. So, it may be a minor thing [and] you don't have to call the doctor. The nurse might just be able to help you, or the nurse will be able to contact the doctor. Baycrest [is] a nice place to settle. For us, the important thing was that it was kosher. We wouldn't go to a place that was not. I join whatever is interesting. I go to exercises. I belong to the book club. We have musicals which people enjoy very much… We have a lovely garden outside. Now that summer is here, we go out for walks. There, you meet people… it’s up to you. The staff is very friendly, very good. We’ve all found [that to be true] ... Everybody is friendly.

Our family is forever grateful to [you] for enhancing our mother’s final years.

Nice staff, very clean and organized place.
