Park Place Retirement Residence gives seniors a safe, calm life in Woodstock’s north end. A lot of rooms overlook Victoria Park, open greenspace across the street that helps create a peaceful mood. The residence’s stately, well-cared-for exterior gives you a hint of the care and attention seniors get inside. Residents of Park Place are treated with dignity. This residence pays attention to heart, mind, and soul. For example, there’s a schedule of activities every day. Dining here is done very well, with healthy portions of entrees residents enjoy.

The Terrace is ideal for London and area seniors who are still active and want the very latest in senior living accommodations. The newness of this community is wonderful, found in the spaciousness of the lobby and the bright open feel created by the expansive windows. The contemporary feel extends to personal suites and their features like generous closet space, French doors, and individual temperature control.

I highly recommend Park Place for your loved one. I have known a resident there, and he was cared for above and beyond. The staff work hard to put residents needs above all else, making sure the residents and in a safe and clean environment. During the outbreaks, it was hard on the residents who could not visit with anyone. The staff and management made sure everyone was well cared for in the highest manner.

I am related to a resident there and I can’t say enough how wonderful this place is for my family member. I am always hearing how much she is loved and cared for there, the meals are nutritious and a great variety and many fun activities to do. The staff is just wonderful. They are quick on their feet but always have time to care for the residents and make them feel special. The care that goes into the cleanliness of their rooms and making sure they have everything they need is top notch. I appreciate everything the staff does for my loved one.

We can't thank the people enough for the caring attitude of all the staff. They check in on him, offer assistance, and have lots of activities to make their day brighter. Its also a beautiful property. However, what makes the difference is their lovely caring people. You can tell when they love their very difficult job. Our whole family appreciates the care they give our Dad (Jim).

During my Mother's stay at Park Place Retirement, she was treated with dignity and kindness. There was activities daily for her and her fellow residents. The dining room was excellent and comfortable. Staff at Park Place showed such compassion and empathy towards my Mother and I will always be grateful for their care.

My grandma currently lives at Park Place and we are so happy with the support from all staff. They made my grandma feel very welcome. I definitely recommend getting a tour

Nice new facilities. My parent stayed there for respite care. A good experience. Caring staff, nice meals.

The staff at this beautiful, energetic, and above all friendly... Sifton Homes deserves a medal for their care in building, and the quality finishes they used. It's wonderful coming to visit and going for a walk around the grounds, a sit down on the patio, or a coffee in the bistro!

The Staff are all so friendly and helpful. So are the residents. There's also lots of activities and entertainment. I love that [mom] is closer to me. The Staff are very receptive to any of my requests. All in all, [it's] a great place.

I have never regretted my decision to move here. I love the rural country feel. Dorchester Terrace is such a welcoming place of friendship and community.

Before calling Dorchester Terrace my home, I lived in Windsor Ontario. I'm 92 years old and had lost interest in being in my home – tired of cooking and baking and everything that went into being a homeowner. I looked for my new home for about two years! My son suggested I search closer to him and my daughter-in-law who live in Belmont. Being closer to them was extremely important to me. There were quite a few things that helped me make the decision to move to Dorchester Terrace, the first being that it feels like living at a 5-star hotel – I feel like I'm living at the Ritz! Being a brand new residence, everything is fresh and new. I love the layout of my suite, closets and French doors, the amenities, individual temperature control, air conditioned hallways and the brightness that shines through my windows. I wish I had made the move sooner; I should have been here four years ago! No more garden to care for, home repairs to be looked after or cooking to be done. The entrance to Dorchester Terrace is beautiful and was such a lovely surprise. Chandeliers, lots of windows and bright open space, and then there's the private dining room! There is so much to enjoy here, including; crafts, euchre, coffee club, bingo and the fitness centre. One piece of advice I would give to others looking for a retirement option is to move while you can still participate! Be ready to get your legs and mind moving and enjoy your health. When my family comes to visit I love to show off my new home and go to the Bistro for lunch. The downsizing process was overwhelming. I had spent 62 years in my past home so my daughter helped me go room to room and decide what was important to me. From there I sent things home with my other family members. Dorchester Terrace gave me information about moving companies as well, but luckily I was prepared and ready to go thanks to my family. My brand new suite is everything I could want, it's close to everything but tucked out of site.

As well, we offer a variety of activities for our residents to enjoy. Our comfortable lounges and friendly cafés located on each floor provide the perfect environment for socializing, watching a movie – or playing a game of pool.
