Viewed Garneau Hall for my dad. Friendly staff and warm atmosphere.
I finally found a residence for my Dad where they really care. Thanks so much to the staff, especially my dad's direct caregivers, and a big shout out to Brenda and Vicki!!
Very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating staff. Brenda is doing an awesome job. Grandma was able to move in recently on very short notice, and staff attentively provide delicious food according to her diet requirements. Good exercise and social programs despite COVID restrictions. Care and concern for residents is clearly evident.
The staff were really great, friendly and knowledgeable. There are lots of activities and lovely residents that are very welcoming. Food was delicious too.
Garneau Hall was the first place I looked at with my daughter. We had such a good feeling, I moved in and have never regretted it. The staff and residents are very helpful and friendly. We have many activities and exercises to keep us busy. Fresh air in the courtyard is watching the birds and flowers in the summer. The food is good. There is good communications between staff and families. It is a good place to reside in.
It’s always a pleasant surprise when my expectations are exceeded. And over the past year, Garneau Hall has FAR exceeded them. The staff’s commitment to protecting and taking care of the residents through the Covid-19 pandemic has left me humbled. The staff's timely, personal updates, month after month, has left me in awe of how they have selflessly dedicated themselves to helping me cope with the worry, concern and distancing from my Mom. Detailed e-mails combined with frequent telephone calls left me with no questions - and no doubts - that matters were being handled superbly. Chatting with Mom through regular, staff-assisted FaceTime/Zoom calls was especially wonderful - and made Mom’s day, every time. The lengths the staff went to, to help make Mom’s 92nd birthday an extra special event was …..well, there are no words.
In September of 2015, Mom moved to Garneau Hall. And it’s not her apartment or the food or the activities that make it special (although they’re all great!). It’s the people who have taken care of my Mom when I can’t be there. It’s Lyle who tirelessly lobbied to get the Covid-19 vaccination for all the residents at the earliest possible moment. It’s Brenda who’s been there for my Mom - and me - since Day One. It’s Andrea, who's spent extra time on the phone with me when she’s got many, many more calls to make to other families. It’s these people, like Brodey, Eric, Samantha, Geraldine and many more, who make me sure that Mom couldn’t possibly be in a better place.
I am so very content here, I really am. Everyone here is excellent and everyone here is so good to me. The food is also very good! I like the variety of meals and to be able to select weekly. I love the convenience of being close to grocery stores, drug store, and banks to name a few. By moving here, I did it right
