HAZELTON PLACE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

One of the most notable features of this residence is the spaciousness of the lounges and three dining rooms. Hazelton Place focuses on offering a variety of activities and attractions to bring residents together and facilitate a lifestyle that is as active (or as quiet) as you might want. The area is rife with history including U of T buildings, and it has been recently reinvigorated, with many new shops and outdoor cafes, etc.

THE DUNFIELD RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

My 85 year old Father moved into the Dunfield Residence November 2021. This was a very stressful time for him as he was leaving a toxic relationship and sadly leaving behind his beloved rescue animals. Catherine and the staff at the Dunfield made his transition incredibly smooth and positive. Since he has been at the Dunfield he has literally thrived. He has not been this happy or healthy for years! It took a little time but now he is participating in exercise and activities virtually everyday. He told me recently that this was the best thing he could have done. He loves all of the staff and they treat him with such respect and kindness. Many of the other residence have reached out to him for lunch and dinner dates. I cannot say enough positive things about the Dunfield, it should be on top of your list if you are looking for an excellent living situation for yourself or your loved ones. P.S. he has since rescued a senior cat which is also allowed at his new lovely home!

My father has been living at the Dunfield Retirement Residence for a few years and we have been extremely pleased with the residence in all aspects of the building, facilities, staff, restaurant and administration. The general manager, James, is consistently supportive and helpful, doing whatever he can to meet our needs and address our questions/requests. The staff is friendly, inviting and helpful. We feel that our father is in excellent hands at the Dunfield and would recommend this residence to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

I have been a resident at The Dunfield for eleven years. The building is elegant, bright, cheerful and well maintained. The management and staff are the best! They know your name and make you feel at home in very short order. I love the food and you are not compelled to always sit at the same table at the same time. Residents needing extra care have access to special accommodation and the nursing station. I enjoy the activities. There is a gym, pool, theatre, multipurpose room for concerts, lectures and exercise classes all by a very competent activity team. You can choose any, all or none of these activities. My hobby is photography, and like others with gardening or painting, these activities are promoted. l like the fact that my family is reassured that I am in an enjoyable, comfortable and very secure environment.

The Dunfield cares so much about mom and about all of us. The people are wonderful, the management, the office staff, the PSW's, the nurses, the serving staff at the restaurants and the cleaners and maintenance teams. EVERYONE treats mom and us like family. They care about tiny needs and major things. It is always clean and safe and so family friendly. It is an incredible location, a wonderful environment and a very special place to spend time. AND, the food is great in the restaurants. Worth the investment for a very happy and loving residence for mom and for our family time when we visit.

My parents moved to the Dunfield 7 years ago. It has been their home where they have welcomed family and friends and celebrated many special occasions. The dining room quickly became our family's favourite gathering place. Sadly, our father died this past winter at the Dunfield of old age (91). With Ontario public health's Covid-19 restrictions in place, this was an extraordinarily challenging time but I want to thank the ENTIRE Dunfield staff for their tireless efforts, their remarkable care and kindness in helping my parents and family navigate the necessary lockdowns and restricted visitor policies. On a brighter note, for 6 years our family gatherings in the dining room were numerous and it is very nice that a few of us can once again gather and enjoy a meal with our mom in the Alcove. Mom has good friends at the Dunfield, a testament to her but also the other wonderful residents who help make the Dunfield a warm, friendly, caring and special place to live.

My parents moved into Hazelton Place in December 2022, and they both think it's terrific. They love the food. The dining room is exquisite. The staff are conscientious and quite personable. Both my parents take daily exercise classes, which is a first for my dad. The amenities are ample, and the variety of the daily programming is superb. There's a lot to do, and spacious rooms to do it in. Also, the residents are friendly and accomplished. It's easy to make new friends. All things considered, Hazelton Place is a winner.

The Hazelton took the very best care of my parents. They organized everything in the move and managed the process seamlessly. My parents are happily settled and have all the resources they need. Everyone that works here is so helpful. We couldn’t have asked for better care.

I recently moved my mother into Hazelton Place and it has been a wonderful experience both in introduction process with Leslie Westlake the Marketing Manager who was so professional and outstanding on the following up the details . The staff have been excellent with any interaction, the food excellent and overall cleanest is outstanding.

Leslie has been extremely helpful assisting by brother and I find a home for our 96 year old father. Very quickly we determined that Hazelton was the perfect place. Unfortunately, while other retirement homes have a vacancy rate up to 20%, the assisted living unit at the Hazelton has a wait list of around a year. They must be doing something right!

In considering a place for my mother to retire to I found my visit to the Hazleton to be extremely informative and welcoming. They did everything they could to illustrate the features of the residence including allowing me to see a lived-in suite and inviting me to lunch. I was very impressed. The management staff were very thorough and bent over backward to accommodate my mother’s needs. I would highly recommend it.
