Heather Pacione, family member

"Stouffville Creek is amazing! My parents have been there almost 3 years. The staff is so caring and so helpful at all times. In these covid times they go above and beyond to try to make sure residents are safe. I could not say enough about this place. I know my parents are happy and safe. "

Testimonials and Stories

  • Barry's Testimonial

    My mother’s care at Stouffville Creek has been a blessing, in improved health, energy level and overall well-being. She has improved 100% from the time I brought her in a year ago. The staff is wonderful.  They are not only true professionals, but beautiful human beings. Thank you for everything you’ve all done for my mom.

  • Eileen's Testimonial

    I love music, and I think of Stouffville Creek as a musical family. We always have wonderful activities and entertainment, and it is great fun! Another thing I love about Stouffville Creek is how warm and friendly the residence is. There are windows everywhere, which makes it so bright and inviting. I could not be happier elsewhere.

  • Don's Testimonial

    My wife and I were looking at many different residences when we were thinking of moving to a retirement home. We had lots to decide on. When we visited Stouffville Creek, I couldn’t believe it. It was remarkable. It is so beautiful and elegant, and we thought, “Gee, we’d like to live here.”  Two of the reasons are:  the residents and the staff. The residents are always great to have a conversation with,  but the staff is something to behold.  Everyone is so nice. The meals are as wonderful as the staff. Being served under such elegant circumstances is a delight.

  • Edna's Testimonial

    I am a very busy woman at Stouffville Creek. There are so many enjoyable activities going on, that my daughters have learned to ask for an activity calendar so they know when to come by to see me! Also, the staff at Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence makes you feel welcome and cherished. They helped a lot in my recovery from my hip surgery. The nurses, physiotherapist, etc. ensured my well-being and aided in the healing process. Doctors told me that I would not be able to walk as I did prior to surgery, but with all the help and care I got from Stouffville Creek, I walked into the doctor’s office with my own two feet. I sure showed them!

  • Jim and Muriel Testimonial

    After enjoying traveling all over the world. My husband and I decided it was a time to go into a Retirement Residence. We wanted to make our own decisions, on our own terms, while we could. We have two wonderful children who have been very supportive to us. Jim and I wanted them to be able to travel and enjoy their life, without worrying about us. Our children could lead their own lives, knowing that their parents are well looked after everyday. If there was a health emergency, we know that Stouffville Creek will take care of our needs.

  • Myth: I will lose my independence

    Myth: I will lose my independence and my health will continue to decline... Or at least, that’s what I thought. Before Stouffville Creek, my health was declining. Since I’ve lived here, through exercise class, brain gym and the social and recreational events, I feel stronger and healthier than ever, allowing me to offer my family a more emotionally and physically fit me.

  • Myth: I can’t afford to live in a retirement residence

    Myth: I can't afford to live in a retirement residence.... “Or at least, that’s what I thought. Then, I made a list of expenses in my own home; heating, electricity, gas, insurance, water, taxes, maintenance fees, house repairs, entertainment, exercise fee’s and more. Then comes food costs, the amount of waste when cooking for one, not to mention the cost to my health of preparing three meals a day for myself. Add to that, the stress of looking after the yard, the snow, etc. Then I realized the value of Stouffville Creek.”

Staff & Care

General Manager's Message
Patricia Maxwell

With over 25 years of progressive senior leadership and experience in the broad health & wellness sector, I am a passionate and purposeful leader who strives to make an impact in the organizations that I have the honour to collaborate with.

I have an MBA with a focus on organizational effectiveness, I hold the Canadian Health Executive (CHE) credential from the Canadian College of Health Leaders and I have a degree in Kinesiology/Exercise Physiology focused on the wholistic aspect of living.

In all my roles, over the year, I leverage my clinical expertise, along with my strength in relationship management and customer service to create solutions that meet and exceed the needs and expectations of the residents, families, staff and stakeholders whom I engage with regularly.

I am driven by the vision of creating a more customer service-oriented experience, integrated, efficient, and effective and focused on resident and family centered needs that improves health outcomes and experiences for all.

Personally, my family and I live an active life, engaging in our local community of Whitchurch Stouffville and are fortunate to be able to golf, curl, play ball hockey, socialize at local fund raisers/events truly just enjoying life within our community.
