What residents and their loved ones say about The Roxborough Retirement Residence - Verve Senior Living in reviews.

Marion Roberts, senior

"I was very fortunate to have such a positive experience during my rehab at The Roxborough in April of this year. It is spear headed by Melanie. Melanie was in contact with me from setting the initial meeting to explain what was offered and allowed me to put my possessions in early to accommodate my surgery schedule. The staff on a whole were also very polite as was my case with the night attendants. Bringing more ice at night and adding a couple of cookies to tide me over. I would highly recomme..."

Barrett Greenhow, resident

"My wife Joyce and I moved into the Roxy in August and couldn't be more satisfied. Where does one start ? The staff are without exception - Fabulous ! The food is 5 star all the way as at each meal you always get options; is always the freshest imaginable; always served on linen table cloths; is changed after each person is finished dining and includes the nicest wait staff possible. Add to this, you can dine on your schedule ( with -in certain hours ) and choose to sit with new friends each meal..."

Testimonials and Stories

  • Thank You

    I would like to express a warm and appreciative “Thank you” to all who are employed by The Roxborough. Whoever has assisted directly with my needs or anyone behind the scenes. I realize it’s a team effort. You all come together very efficiently with compassion and empathy towards, not only myself, but from what I have observed, to all of us.
    It was very difficult for me to make the quick and drastic transition from living in my home independently to being in a retirement home setting. I would like to mention that you all have helped in making me feel welcomed. With your warm smiles, kind tone and mild mannered way you have given me direction when I needed it. I realize it’s not an easy task, but all of you do it so well. Please don’t stop.

  • Resident Testimonial

    When my wife Leslie and I decided it was time to move to a retirement residence we visited several in the area. With regards to the accommodations they offered we found very little difference. However as soon as we entered the Roxborough we found a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We moved in a little over a year ago and that first impression has been confirmed over and over causing us to have no regrets about our decision to choose the Roxborough.
