THE RESIDENCE AT ORCHARDS WALK

Very friendly and clean. Food is good. This is my new home can't think of why I would want to change it.

I have lived at the Residence since Jan 2019.....I absolutely love it ....It’s like living in a fabulous, fully equipped apartment in a first-class hotel...Our apts. have a full-sized fridge & stove, a dishwasher, a washer & dryer (in unit), high ceilings& great lighting. Included in our rent is weekly housekeeping, one meal a day...the suppers are really good.....restaurant quality with 5 entrees to choose from....also included are beverages....incredible salads, soups& desserts....the amenities are second to none....a library, a theatre, a workshop, a party room, a full-time hairdresser, underground parking, storage units....beautiful outdoor eating area with fireplace& an abundance of flowers& landscaping....but probably one of the best things about the Residence are the people .....the staff are so friendly, helpful, upbeat & accommodating .....because it’s an independent living facility, the residents are young thinking, friendly, helpful, caring....there are many great activities....crafts, crib, shows, happy hours, entertainers, trivia, afternoon coffee & goodies....there’s NO designated seating at meal time so we have an opportunity to sit with, meet & get to know our neighbours....I feel like I already have a new family...I had no intentions of selling my home & moving in ....all it took for me was an open house ....as soon as I saw what “THE RESIDENCE “ had to offer I knew this was where I wanted to be....the rest is history....so glad I made the transition....it really is AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!

I love this place. From day one the staff always smile and respond to your needs quickly. The people who live here are very considerate and friendly. The food is fantastic, especially the soup dishes and variety of meals. Glad I chose this place.

I moved into The Residence a year ago and from the first day I have loved living here. Three reasons I chose The Residence were selective seating in dining room so I started sitting with whoever had a spare chair to meet as many of the people as I could and of course found a large group of people as friends. The staff is so friendly and helpful, I went away for five months and when I came back the manager, Jody, brought his truck down to the underground parking to boost my car. Who could ask for more? The choice of dinner and lunch menu is amazing and always tasty, the chef takes our suggestions seriously but really there is so much choice yo can always find something good to eat. The laundry in my room is the third reason I chose The Residence much handier than laundromat. It’s so much fun to go to dinner or the provided entertainment . We have movies on big screen with theatre seats and popcorn, exercise room (I haven’t personally used) large reception areas to entertain our families or guests. As you can tell I’m very happy with my choice to live at The Residence.

My parents live here and I'm really impressed. They are doing a great job keeping them safe.

All the get-togethers and the staff are just phenomenal. There’s the gym, the book club, all the different game and card games. We have entertainment that comes in which is wonderful.

We have a pastry chef and our deserts are so delicious. We have an Executive Chef so our meals are prepared fresh everyday. I just have to tell everybody how happy I am because I love it here.

It’s just such a pleasant place to be. It’s like being on a cruise.

I knew it was just what I was looking for. I walked in, had an interview and just fell in love with the place.

My family thinks it’s great that I’m here because I’m being looked after. People that live in these places benefit from the care in every way, the meals, knowing your safe and what not.
