Our Perspective
How we see Carleton Place Terrace by Symphony
This is an ideal place for seniors who need assisted living or are in the middle to later stages of Alzheimer's Disease. Carleton Place Terrace by Symphony gives seniors daily positive peer interactions, a clean, well-lit space, and therapies and services that alleviate some symptoms of dementia. It's perfectly situated for families on the west end of the National Capital Region or from elsewhere in eastern Ontario.
Families rave about the friendliness of everyone at this small town retirement residence on the outskirts of Ottawa. The focus here is on providing assisted living to dementia care, creating a community of similarly-abled people who feel good about where they are. This caring place also provides the regularity of prepared meals, an orderly environment, and professional staff.
In addition, though, the pampering residents receive in amenities like the onsite beauty salon helps them retain dignity. There are more amenities like a movie theatre that you simply wouldn't have at home. The diverse calendar of activities is perfectly suited to residents' needs. Pets onsite encourage interaction and reduce anxiety and loneliness. Symphony also encourages healing through its circle of care; this forms inter-familial bonds and creates a community of Ottawa and area families learning, together, how to cope with the impact of dementia.

What residents and their loved ones say about Carleton Place Terrace by Symphony in reviews.
J.A. Butler, family member
"My mother moved into the Terrace recently for what my sisters and I anticipated would be a short term respite stay. However, it unexpectedly turned into a terminal palliative care residency. The staff at the Terrace were able to accommodate her change in situation and medical status very smoothly and made her last days as comfortable as possible. This allowed Mom to pass away with a level of grace and dignity that exceeded our expectations. Everyone showed great caring and compassion towards bot..."Kelly Searson, family member
"Liz was amazing in getting my parents moved in on very short notice and giving them the accommodations that they required. Dad passed soon after and the staff has been extremely supportive to my mom. There were a few glitches but nothing that was serious. Overall, I think this is a great place and they are still working with my mom to make her time there comfortable. "Helen Fisher, senior
"A very welcoming location and team! They are supportive of the community and caring. Special acknowledgement for Liz who goes beyond when you reach out to her! "Lifestyle

Dementia & Memory Care (definition)
Cost from $6,500
Our hands-on experience also gives us unique insights and we listen and learn every day. For example, one of our memory support team members suggested we try wearing PJ's during the night, as many residents were waking up and they were confused by people walking around in day clothes and the bright lights; so, we reduced the lighting and changed into PJ's. The best part was when our team members came back to us and said, it's working, our residents see us in PJ's and realize it is the middle of the night and back to bed they go. Sometimes it is the small, common sense ideas that can make a huge difference for our residents with dementia or Alzheimer's disease. We believe in living in the MOMENT.
