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.

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 .

My mother, who has Alzheimer's, has lived there since August and the staff there is simply the best. They are so caring and patient. The Metta Memory programme provides residents with mental & social stimulation through activities such as fitness, arts & crafts, games and more. My mother was living alone after my father died, and he was worried about her mental decline. He'd be very happy (and I know he is) to know she is so well looked after. The staff spend so much time with the residents and they do not lack for anything. No one wants to see their loved one have to go to a long term care facility, but because it's MMR, I sleep soundly knowing she is so well looked after, just like Dad wanted.

My sister has been a resident at McCowan Retirement Residence for over 2 years now. During this time, staff have been most helpful and responsive which has been so very helpful for me as I live an hour away. Recently one of the staff, Mary Mc was able to help my sister get her Netflix back on her TV so that she could watch her special program. Mary stayed with the task until she was able to make it work... It was so appreciated!

My Father had Alzheimer's as well as COPD so he was on the 6th floor at McCowan Retirement Residence. The staff there was so good and kind with him and my Father loved the programs that they had. In particular the history program with the Titanic (he talked about that event for weeks after) and the Monarch Butterfly program which I have a treasured photo of my Dad holding a monarch butterfly. I know my Dad was happy there although I know it was tough at times. Many thanks to the program directors for putting their hearts and souls into the programs for the residents. They definitely make a difference in the lives of the residents.

I have been very pleased with the care of my aunt on the dementia floor. Mary and the activation team always make sure to include her in the events and activities that take place throughout the building.

In 2019, my Dad was 85 years old and living along in his apartment. He had some dementia but was otherwise active and healthy. He was determined that he would not move from his apartment. Then he had a brain injury from a fall and required surgery. He was sent to Providence to recover. We then made arrangements for him to spend a month at MRR. After the first month, we told him he could stay at MRR. He loved it. He loved the meals, the residents, the activities and the staff. He stayed for 4 happy years and it was home for him. It was a huge relief for me, especially during Covid, knowing that he was safe and well cared for. The staff at MRR are exceptional people in every way.
