One-to-one comparison

RETIREMENT SUITES BY THE LAKE

The Suites is a close-knit community of seniors near the Scarborough Bluffs, one of the best natural settings in the entire GTA. Living at the Suites, you can choose to partake of "just enough" activities, as listed on the calendar. There are shared activities ranging from crafts to board games to just sitting out on the patio in summer, chatting with friends. That atmosphere is casual, though, and if you want to spend time reading or watching TV in your suite, you can do that, too. Suites are all spacious private units.

In initial impressions, you’ll be impressed with the responsiveness and enthusiasm of staff. The real heart of seniors’ new life here, though, is the lifestyle change of moving into a community of peers where every day is made with your needs top-of-mind.

My family and I have been very happy with the care and concern by the staff at RSBL.

Went for a tour today. Highly impressed with both Diane Shaddock, the Community Engagement Manager and the staff we met. Diane provided us with so much information to help in our decision process. She is kind and compassionate. She had suggestions on room location, ideas to help with transition and was a very positive person. We left feeling WOW!

I was looking for a short term stay for my father who is undergoing knee surgery and although we ultimately decided to go somewhere closer to home, we still had an amazing experience with the staff. Diane gave us a tour and her energy was magnetic. She was so personable, funny, welcoming and enthusiastic. The other staff were also just as friendly and made this home a real joy to visit. Thanks to Scarborough Retirement Suites by the Lake, my family and I really enjoyed our visiting experience and should we ever need full time care, this is definitely a home we will strongly consider.

What a lovely homelike facility. The staff here work together like family and that vibe permeated all the interactions I had in making preparations for my mum to reside here for a respite stay. Despite the complications I encountered in completing the necessary requirements I felt supported in every step. Diane in particular made sure we had everything we needed, and her patient and kind guidance was so very appreciated at a stressful time. Cassandra was still helping me on the phone long after she had left work for the day. I look forward to the next time I need help with mums care while I am away. I need look no further than RSBL.

My two week stay at “Retirement Suites By the Lake” was beyond my expectations. I was at “ The Spa” ( as I liked to call it ) to recuperate from a knee replacement and was met with supportive and caring attention by all the staff . My suite was immaculate, the food delicious, but most importantly, the concern , compassion and encouragement for my well being , by everyone involved , was over whelming . A special thanks to Diane and Cassandra , who made the arrangements for my stay , and subsequently my two week visit , so enjoyable .

Thank you to the wonderful team at the Don Mills Residence! Iesha, Ewa and Taneshia gave my parents an outstanding welcome when they recently attended their Wellness Assessment. The professionalism, enthusiasm and sincerity of the team made my mom & dad feel supported and valued. My parents were hesitant about moving to a retirement residence, but meeting the team was a real turning point for them; now they are excited to experience all the wonderful services and amenities that their new lifestyle will offer them. My family looks forward to working with the Verve staff as my parents move closer to moving in! Thank you!

Ewa and the team at Don Mills are fabulous. They were always available to help, regardless of the time of day, and arranged everything quickly to prepare for a respite stay.

Take a look at Don Mills Retirement Residence! You won't be disappointed!!! We visited here as the first in a search for possible homes to consider when it is time for us to make a move. Ewa Ilijeska (Community Relations Manager) was our hostess. Honestly, after visiting this residence, we could easily say, "why look anywhere else?" - although Ewa encouraged us to. These were our first impressions ... - a well-run facility - the building: new, 10 foot ceilings, large windows - the atmosphere: bright, open - the staff: lots of courteous staff - who all acknowledged us as we passed - the delicious lunch: healthy, attractive, lots of choice, very open dining room, attentive servers - services and activities: a very complete list offered - communication (prior to/post visit): excellent. Thanks to Ewa for a delightful experience!

I enjoyed an extremely comfortable and informative tour with Community Relations Manager, Keren. The residence is truly state-of-the-art with uncompromising attention to detail. The staff were both welcoming and professional. A wonderful new retirement option created to meet the various needs of our community.

Nice place to retire. People are helpful and nice there. My parent enjoys it there.
