RICHMOND CARE HOME

My Deaf mother has been a resident of the home for 2 ½ years. My family is appreciative of the quality of care that is provided to her and is pleased with the warm and safe environment that she is in. The staff are professional, caring, and attentive, and they encourage my mother to participate in different activities. They have even gone out of their way to learn sign language to communicate with her. Overall, our family is at peace knowing that our mother is in good hands at the Richmond Care Home.

My mom has been a resident at Carefor for almost a year now. I am very impressed with how well she has settled in. The staff are all very kind and caring, as well as professional. I love the small intimate size of this home. It truly allows for individualized care, unlike some of the large and perhaps more fancy care homes. I would recommend Carefor Richmond to any family who has a mother /grandmother, etc, they adore.

I love this place for my mom. The staff are loving and gentle with their clients.

Warm, welcoming staff and home environment. It’s unique in it's design and model.

Love it....My Mom has been a guest for almost 6 years. Have no idea what we would have done without the beautiful ladies and their special care. Can't imagine life without [it].

SYMPHONY SENIOR LIVING KANATA

The only place I would ever call Home away from Home. Symphony Kanata has a great Management team, the most caring nurses and resident specialists, the best meals and snacks and hands down the best entertainment and activities! Also, Winston and Buddy make you feel that much more at home. Symphony Kanata is a true “home away from home”

Beautiful community inside and out. Symphony Kanata makes you feel at home with it's charming look and caring staff. I highly recommend this home for all family and friends.

My experience with Symphony was great. During this trying time on our family's life they were very attentive to our needs. Symphony's service is top-notch.

It is a challenge to move a parent with memory loss out of her home and even more difficult during the threat of COVID 19. Our anxiety about how Mom would adjust was relieved the morning after her move when we received an email from the staff showing a smiling Mom with a new friend. During COVID restrictions we found the staff to be responsive and supportive of our questions and anxieties. Always willing to check for her personal supplies so we could shop for anything she needed. During patio door visits, staff put their own phones on speaker so that we could talk to Mom. We love to check facebook and see the activities and photos and love when staff send us a video – like when Mom got balloons for Valentines Day. We are very grateful that Mom settled so quickly and is happy. We think the activities and social contact with people of her own age led her to say “I would be quite happy to stay here for 3-4 years”.
