Gain exclusive insight into life at Wintergreene Estates - Verve Senior Living. Comfort Life’s reviews give you exclusive insider information.
This community is brought to you by Verve, and they really do bring Verve to living here. There are hotspots throughout this community where you see friends gathered, enjoying each others' company. When new people move in, they are made to feel welcome and comfortable, and soon the new surroundings become a new home, one that – in many ways – might be the best home you can imagine.
When you walk into Wintergreene Estates you'll see residents enjoying life in a variety of ways. There are people playing cards in the multipurpose room — some of them enjoying a beverage while they do so — others are getting a massage in the spa, while a small group is happily working out in the fitness centre. The large multipurpose room has a variety of settings spread throughout, where people can create their own intimate groups for conversation or games. Further inside, the spacious dining room opens onto bright sunlight, and in the kitchen, the chef is preparing something undoubtedly delicious. That's the bustle of activity that makes communal living in a fantastic retirement home such a welcome change from the inherent loneliness of holding onto your own home.
Just check out the activities available! There's gardening and outdoor walking programs to make outdoors fun in the summer sun. Inside, there are bingo nights, movie nights, Wii bowling and of course, the much-beloved shuffleboard.
This home is well-established but it also feels completely updated. You can tell that the seniors here feel very at home, comfortable in their surroundings but at the same time very happy with the services and care that are unique to a personal care community. For Regina residents who want the very best in senior living, Wintergreene Estates offers that in spades.
We've collected reviews and testimonials from around the web that are relevant to you: those from residents and their loved ones.
Wintergreene has been a wonderful place for our family as our parent has adjusted to their new phase of life. The quality of food, level of care, and knowledge that your loved one is cared for is only the beginning of what makes Wintergreene an incredible place.
It's a very difficult thing to help a senior parent come to terms with the fact that their living arrangements need to change and that they need more support in their lives. The staff that support that transition, from the first tour you take, to finalizing the move, are truly amazing people. They are kind, caring, and (perhaps most importantly) patient.
Everyone wants the best for their family, particularly as they make this transition later in life. If you're looking for the best, then this is it. Simple as that.
When looking for places for my dad to move into, atmosphere and the staff played a huge role, and Wintergreene was by far the most welcoming place we visited in Regina. The staff are incredible, which means a lot as you want your parents/family in good hands as they age. My dad also gives the food rave reviews, and anytime I’ve eaten with him it doesn’t disappoint. They also offer activities during the day, as well as scheduled outings during the week, which is great when the residents can no longer drive or don’t have a vehicle. I would strongly recommend Wintergreene to anyone looking!
Mom has lived there less than a year, but already it's clear the staff cares deeply about providing a good experience for Wintergreene's residents. The amenities are fabulous, the building well maintained and the staff couldn't be more helpful or delightful.
Wonderful place. Amazing staff! So compassionate and hard working. The residents are all lovely. My friend lives here and I’m so happy I never have to worry about her
Yesterday we had the pleasure of a tour with Tammy and were very impressed not only with Wintergreen facilities but with Tammy. The residents were such happy positive people that we knew this was the place we want to move to.
We moved our mother into Wintergreene Estates this past September and it has been a very positive experience for her and our family. The staff has been excellent and welcomed mom with open arms from Day One. They go well above the call of duty to make sure everything is working well. Also the meals and the various activities and entertainment have been first class. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is considering a retirement home for their loved ones.
I have not enough space here to write all the things that the staff has done for my parents (and our family). My parents have gone from independent living, to assisted living, to full care (households) over a short period. The staff has shown our family caring, courtesy, concern, friendship. Annette, Tammy, Sara, Robin, Chantelle, Cathy, Leah, Donna, Patti (I know I am forgetting people.... I'm sorry). This is the facility to be at. You and your family matter.
It was our lucky day when Mom moved into one of the households at Wintergreene Estates. The staff members, in whatever position they hold, have been so helpful and kind from the day she moved in, beginning with Annette Polasek, now the General Manager. Mom is so well taken care of in every way by the extremely competent and loving caregivers who go out of their way to make sure all her needs are met. And they always do so with a cheery upbeat manner which is so important for the wellbeing of the elderly. Mom always tells us that she knows she is in the best place and that her caregivers are wonderful. She loves her room, her view out her window, and her meals, which she says are always excellent. (She is right -- I have tasted them too!). Mom just celebrated her 106th birthday at Wintergreene with extra help from the staff who kindly set up a room for her family to celebrate her. I also have two aunts in the Assisted Living Apartments and who also sing the praises of Wintergreene. They too feel fortunate to be part of such a vital and well-run community. They appreciate all the help and friendship they experience from the staff who treat them with such respect and love, and they also enjoy all the activities and entertainment which are continually set up for all the residents to enjoy. When I visit I feel there is generally a sense of fun and enjoyment coming from both staff and residents. I am very grateful to all at Wintergreene who make the lives of my mom and aunts so comfortable and happy. It is a wonderful home for all three of them.
Can't say enough good things about [this awesome place]. Staff is so helpful, warm, friendly and compassionate - you can tell they love what they are doing. Such a relief to know that mom is in such great hands! Meals and facility are top notch as well!
