I’m so pleased to give 5 stars to Chartwell at Sumach and Dundas.This team at Chartwell at Sumach has been a incredible and talented team. I had a friend (Shelly Battram) that move to Chartwell almost a year ago, and the service and support that my friend got there was amazing and outstanding, even they give me lot of support and help to deal with my dearest friend (Shelly Battram). I call this team my home and family. And the decor is so beautiful and this place is so clean all the time.

The most wonderful place. Beautiful new, clean building with purpose built units; good food, good activities and most of all an amazing staff that goes above and beyond. After looking into so many retirement homes, my family and I are so thrilled that we were able to get my mom a place here. Couldn't be happier.

I was looking for a residence for my Father 88 years old. Sumach was an ideal for my father. We spoke with Mike Tisiot at Sumach who was awesome, professional and caring. The entire process of meeting with us via video (we live in the USA) and then meeting with us in-person and responding to my numerous emails in detail and swiftly is commendable. As one knows moving an elderly father from his house to a new residence is stressful for the entire family and Mike made the process very smooth for us and is always available to answer any questions and work with our schedule when needed. I highly recommend Sumach and in particular Mike Tisiot.

I recently moved both of my parents into The Sumach by Chartwell. They love their new retirement residence and all of the activities that they offer. Grant Hooper was the main person who has guided and assisted through the process. He is very kind, compassionate, is always very attentive and responds promptly. We can always rely on him to answer or questions or direct us to the appropriate person. I highly recommend contacting Grant if you are looking for a retirement residence for yourself or for loved ones.

My husband I have lived at the Sumach from the day it opened its doors on the 1st of April 2019. We love our home, the pleasant and ever-considerate staff and the friendly and helpful residents. This is "Home". We would like to end our days here, health and finances permitting. This is a very safe and secure environment; one that gives you all the freedom you need while knowing that help is always there if and when you need it. Thank you to the wonderful staff at the Sumach.

BELMONT HOUSE

My mom has been here for three-plus years, and I can tell you with confidence that Belmont House is the best retirement and long-term care home available in Toronto. The waiting list is six years for a reason, and that time frame keeps growing. The staff is wonderful, and many activities are offered daily. It's almost like an all-inclusive five-star hotel for the elderly. The people you find here have all done great things for Canada in their youth. I am proud to belong to this community.

It’s a [well kept] secret that Belmont House is the best of the best in Ontario. The facility has elite accreditations with a highly skilled and compassionate management team. For example, there wasn’t a single resident COVID-19 infection during the entire pandemic - wow! They are currently rolling out the Butterfly program for dementia care, one of the first of its kind in Canada. With years of experience with family members at Belmont, I have no hesitations whatsoever to recommend.

My mother lived there and I volunteered there. Not only is it the "seniors home of choice", it has received the ultimate official confirmation of being the best possible by official inspections resulting in it being accredited "in exemplary standing". Anyone who retires there or who is a long-term patient there or who works or volunteers or visits there should consider themselves truly blessed.

Belmont House truly feels like home. The friendly and supportive community is always there for you.

There is always so much to participate in and enjoy. I’ve never been bored.
