SCARBOROUGH RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Scarborough Retirement Residence combines proximity to the heart of Toronto with a down-home, family-owned feeling.

It is a lovely place for seniors. The staff are all very friendly. Lots of activities. I would highly recommend Scarborough Retirement Home.

I assisted my friend with her move into her new home at Scarborough Retirement Residence yesterday. I know that she had toured several retirement residences before making her final decision. She had also spent two weeks a month earlier to ensure she was making the right decision. As I entered the building, I was quite pleased with the cleanliness of the home. The hallways were well lit and the interaction between the staff and the residents was heart-warming. I spent 3 hours there and observed residents and staff in different areas. It was clear to me that the residents were well cared for. Everywhere I turned, I noticed different members of staff chatting with the residents and calling them by name. I loved that! I was also quite impressed to see the menu as well as other notices that were posted on the bulletin boards. I left there feeling quite confident that my friend had chosen the right place. Had I been looking for a retirement residence to live, I would not hesitate in making this my home, and believe me, my standards are very high!

I had the privilege of staying there for a week while my cousin was being transferred to long term care. I can't say enough good things about SRR - They have done a tremendous job of creating a welcoming community and a true home for the residents!

Small, well-maintained facility where residents are very well cared for.

My mom, and grandmother in law are residents there for almost 2 years. The care they have been provided is stellar! They truly care about their residents. The extra care and caution used during this Covid crisis makes me so much more comfortable about their safety. Thank you.

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.
