Winchester Glen retirement community is the absolute best place to be. We toured many places for our mother and this place won hands down. The staff are absolutely amazing and treat the residents fantastic. It's a very happy place where everyone has a smile and is happy to be alive. There is always something going on for the residents to be involved in and everyone takes part. My mom is absolutely loving it and finally enjoying life. You can't be lonely anymore with all the positive vibes surrounding you. Great support, great food, great people, and a beautiful clean facility.

New facility, great staff, very helpfull. Rooms are spacious and bright.

Winchester Glen Retirement Community in north Oshawa provided very helpful assistance when we had an urgent need for relocation to an assisted living facility. Emily worked very hard and quickly facilitated our loved one's move into the residence. The very attentive and capable Wellness staff provided much-needed assistance and allowed the transitional healing and health process to start once they were moved in. Winchester Glen's greatest asset is their kind, caring, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. This includes the front desk (concierge), administrative staff, Wellness (nurse and PSWs), custodial services, dining room, and maintenance staff. They provide a healthy environment for residents to thrive and not just survive by ensuring there is an enjoyable and lively atmosphere, supported by numerous activities. We toured the rest and chose the best, Winchester Glen Retirement Community!

My mother-in-law has been a resident for one and a half months and we have not seen her happier. Her suite is the perfect size for her and very comfortable. This is a beautiful new building with top-notch amenities with daily activities for the physical and mental well-being of each and every resident. Sara (sales manager ) made everything with the transition from house to new home so smooth and easy. All the staff ( Jennifer, Sara, Amy, Emily, Pat, and Devon to name a few ) go above and beyond what anyone would expect. They treat my mother-in-law like a family member. Roger and Trevor along with the dining room staff cater to each and every resident as though they were serving their own family. If you are looking for a retirement community for a loved one or yourself, we would highly recommend Winchester Glen. You would not go wrong having your family member move in there.

I moved my 96 year old father and 90 year old mother here from Kingston last March and it was the best thing we could have done. The building is laid out beautifully. Both mom and dad are happy here. The staff are like friends to them. Having nursing staff here makes them feel safe and secure. The food is terrific and the activities here help keep them happy. I highly recommend Winchester Glen.

We had to move our parents into TM in May due to complex medical issues. Did we do the right thing? We were very concerned about making this decision on their behalf. It has been 2 months now and we feel that this was very much the right decision for our parents. They both have dementia. They feel safe and secure there. The staff are very patient and kind and have formed good relationships with them. Dad loves the food! It can be tricky to find meaningful activities that people with dementia can engage in, but the staff are currently working with us to see how we can improve their quality of life. Any questions or concerns that we have had have been handled in a timely manner by our co-ordinator Alysha Holland. This transition was incredibly stressful for everyone in our family and I'm glad that TM was there to make it as seamless as possible.

My dad received fabulous care from all the staff - especially his Taunton Mills family in the Claremont Neighbourhood. The lines of communication were always open and we knew of any and all issues - and that gave us peace of mind. Thank you for everything you did for him including making him as comfortable as possible in his last days. And thank you for always making sure he got his "ice cream."

Our mother has been a retirement resident for 14 years and lived in an independent suite on the 6th floor of the north building for all of those years. She recently had a fall and she decided to move to the first floor. The help and guidance that we received from the staff was so amazing. They were all so very kind and considerate and answered all of our questions, always returning phone calls and doing whatever they could to make the move seamless. The suite was all set up for our mother upon her return. She was greeted by many staff members and was made to feel so welcome. We are very thankful for all of the assistance.

My parents moved into an Independent Living Suite in the South Tower back in 2020; my Mom was moved into the Dryden neighbourhood in long-term-care in December of 2021 due to her Alzheimer's. I give credit to the staff as I spent a fair bit of time there and I had the opportunity to see how challenging it could be - for the most part they were all great. My Mom became ill in February 2023 and ended up in palliative care in her room, and was treated with kindness and compassion during her final days. I give special credit to Diane McLean - the neighbourhood coordinator of Dryden as she was always there when we needed her which meant more than she could know.

The staff here are amazing. [My grandma] has lived here for years now with dementia. They give her outstanding care and you can easily see the love that they have for all of the residents here. By far the best retirement home I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. ❤❤❤❤

THE VILLAGE OF TAUNTON MILLS

Our Village is a proud part of a Canadian family tradition of community building that goes back 70 years. The first Schlegel family home became the foundation of what Schlegel Villages is today. Here at The Village of Taunton Mills, we offer several lifestyle options to meet a variety of needs. Our continuum of care allows for residents to age with us in place as their needs change. The residents we serve come from a range of backgrounds that thread together the fabric of our community, and while we know resident-centredness is a term that many lean on these days, we truly do focus on each individual’s wishes to guide our approach to service. Our Signature Programs help us focus on the individuality of each resident we serve. Our LIVING in My Today dementia care philosophy, for example, was developed by our team and our partners alongside people with lived experience. This provides our team the opportunity to learn exactly what it means to support a person who is experiencing the changing perceptions of dementia. We also celebrate the Wisdom of the Elder as another Signature Program, thanks to the inspiration of our founder Ron Schlegel. Ron once said: “The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders,” and we honour the individual and collective wisdom of those we serve in ways large and small.
