One-to-one comparison

THE SUMACH BY CHARTWELL

The Sumach by Chartwell is a spectacular, still-very-new retirement destination close to the heart of Toronto. It’s an ideal place for people who love to be where the fun and excitement is. That can be found both inside the community—really all you need—and in the nearby area, where there’s all the best that Toronto has to offer.

THE BRITON HOUSE

The Briton House generates exceptional loyalty among seniors and family members they serve. We see few communities with residents who have stayed in one place for longer than ten years but there are a number of such long-term residents here. We believe that stems from the unique vision at work here, starting from a foundation of looking at senior care and lifestyle holistically.

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.

My story begins with panic. I had one month to move my 94 year old mom to a retirement home close to me at Yonge and Eglinton. I phoned every one in the area. The only one that understood my pain was Jared, Marketing manager at the Briton House. Immediately, we had a meeting. The care and compassion was outstanding. I signed on the dotted line he and his staff had a beautiful suite ready for mom... My mom is so happy thanks to everyone at the Briton House.

I researched many retirement homes in Toronto, and Briton House stood out for many reasons. Family owned and operated, an excellent reputation, positive referrals and reasonable pricing put Briton House on the short list. It was quick and easy to book a tour and we were impressed with the comfortable hotel-like atmosphere, relaxing atrium and amenities. Once my loved one moved in, the caring and competent staff provided an environment where she was able to enjoy regular meals, be supported with personal care and flourish, becoming the happy, social person she was before being diagnosed with dementia. You can trust that residents are well cared for, safe and living their best life.

My mom moved here a month ago, it is fantastic. Beautiful facilities, great activities and food and the management and nursing staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

My cousin chose this residence after learning his medical condition was terminal The staff and upper management were always available to keep me in the loop. GOD bless

I have been staying at the Briton House for about 3 years now... The leadership team handled COVID extremely well and we had no cases for a very long time. I was so happy that all of the residents and the staff were able to get our shots early on. I have a very nice table mate, we have amazing conversations and the community here is very friendly. We have a talented chef, and I like that if you don’t want what is on the menu that day, there is always an alternative that you can choose from.
