Our Perspective

How we see Applewood Retirement Residence

Applewood Retirement Residence is an established retirement home from LEV Senior Living, the management behind other exemplary retirement homes across Ontario. You’ll feel an immediate sense of comfort when you’re introduced to this community. People who live here will tell you that it’s become their home and they’ve never looked back since moving in.

Applewood allows you to live your whole life in this community and feel fulfilled, in a home-like setting with care available. One of the sure signs that this is a good place is the many seniors who have been here for several years or much longer and have made this their home. While staff and seniors contribute to the homey feel, there are also intimate spaces throughout the community that encourage coziness and personal warmth.

Family also has peace of mind thanks to the care and compassion that’s a hallmark of life here. When older family members move in, the cheerful environment rubs off on them. They become part of that, and in many cases, family sees both an immediate and lasting effect of this.

We are lucky to have a place like Applewood where residents are treated like family. "

Peter Dawydchak, resident

"This is one of the best retirement facilities in Peterborough and surrounding area. The staff is outstanding and very caring with every resident 24/7. We compared several of the other facilities in and around Peterborough and in my opinion Applewood is the best. We have been living at Applewood Retirement for just over 9 months now, and it's been a great experience and a wonderful place to live. We have an Orchardside apartment with a gorgeous view of Applewood's private park area with a paved w..."

Ron MacKay, senior

"Thirty days in Applewood, Peterborough, Ontario provided me with exactly the R&R I most needed after hip surgery. The professional nursing and PSW care available to me were enormously reassuring. The meals were excellent. I enjoyed a serviced, spacious, and comfortable room with bathroom and balcony at an affordable price and the opportunity to exercise regularly both inside and outside the building in a safe and delightful environment. My good fortune to recuperate among others in a situation ..."

Staff & Care

General Manager's Message
Paul H.

Welcome to Applewood!

Whatever it may be that has brought you to us, we are here to listen, offer support and invite you to be a part of the Applewood family.

Applewood is a long-standing community member not only of Kawartha Heights and the “West End”, but is also a known pillar in Peterborough City as a whole. We often hear our residents comparing stories of growing up, meeting spouses and finding work right in the surrounding Streets and Avenues of Peterborough.

This is a place where General Electric, Quaker Oats, Holiday Ford and Civic Hospital gather, to make connections, share stories of loss and fill each other with laughter.

History exists in the halls of Applewood. We learn from those who are here and from those who wish to come, the days of the past, the one who was a proud nurse, a well-known farmer or a Veteran of war.

At Applewood, we strongly believe you will find your place. Supporting transition, following life changes and creating comfort and expressing care, is what we do. We want you to know you are heard, cared for and supported within the family of Applewood.

Our rooms are comfortable, and spacious enough for friends or grandchildren to visit, not to mention your four legged companion. We have rooms with a variety of layouts, and when you are ready to visit, we would be happy to share lunch and show you around.

Let us know how we can help you to become a member of our Applewood family. We are here to help you, your family, your spouse and your friends, showing you that we are ready and waiting with caring hearts, to create lasting and warm memories.

Cheers, Paul.
