PARK PLACE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

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 VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

This community began as exclusively long term care, which will still be a key part of the Village. The spectrum of options will include both assisted living and memory care. This will make it ideal for couples with different care needs to remain together in the same community, if one spouse is independent, but the other requires care. It’s also ideal for families and seniors who anticipate shifting care needs in the future. You won’t need to move again.

PARK PLACE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

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

THE VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

We had an amazing time with our mother Lein Schout for her 101 bday a great visit and dinner at the Ruby restaurant.

Beautiful residence. Great staff. Truly a village atmosphere.

The Ruby Restaurant is located on the 10th floor and has an incredible view. We all enjoyed our lunches. Salads are fresh and tasty, fish and chips were excellent and desserts delicious. Our waitress was excellent and the Chef came to introduce himself. I liked the fact that we were able to chat with one another in a relaxed setting and hear one another! Cocktails, wine and beer available, and other non-alcoholic drinks. There is handicapped parking. Everyone was so friendly here.

All staff, nurses, and doctors are the best, and caring.

A very home-like and caring atmosphere.

PARK PLACE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Park Place Retirement Residence is centrally located in the heart of downtown Woodstock, Ontario, in a quiet, residential neighbourhood overlooking Victoria Park. The property was originally built in 1844 as two separate homes for the Mayor of Woodstock. In the 1970s, the buildings were converted into a hotel and eventually combined and renovated to create Park Place. We are known for our homelike atmosphere, delicious food and helpful staff. 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. Park Place is more than a residence – it’s a community.

THE VILLAGE AT UNIVERSITY GATES

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 at University Gates, 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.
