What residents and their loved ones say about Winchester Glen Retirement Community in reviews.
Hi, My name is Ann and I am a resident at Winchester Glen Retirement Community, I would like to share my experience on Retirement living with you from one Senior to another.
“Retirement”– it’s an easy word to say and spell but when “Home” is added to it then it becomes something totally different.
Retirement Home! ME ?! NEVER !!!
I refused to even think about it. My husband and I had lived our entire lives in our home on a nice piece of property where we had our garden, patio, big back yard, wildlife and more. Contemplating moving after his passing was something I just brushed away.
Leaving my memories, my independence, and MY home – No thanks! No Retirement Home for me! I was going to keep what I had.
Then Covid hit, while I was having some health issues. My kids wanted me to consider looking at Winchester Glen. I looked (not too hard at first) then as time went on and I went back to look more, it didn’t seem that bad. I took the plunge and moved in May.
It’s coming up to 5 months and I cannot tell you how it has changed my life for the better. This is a beautiful new home with a wide variety of modern suites, phenomenal staff, great activities and the food is exceptional!
I have been fortunate enough to meet quite a few seniors while they are taking tours of my home and I would like to point out some common questions/concerns that usually arise:
1) Is it an old age home? Well, it is for seniors, but I can assure you that we are active and enjoying life here! We have a theatre where we gather to watch sporting events and movies. There is a pub located on the 2nd floor where we enjoy cocktails while listening to live entertainment, common lounge where we play cards, shoot a game of pool, work on a jigsaw puzzle, go to our fitness room, hobby room, outdoor patio or just sit and chat.
2) How difficult was the transition? Any change is hard and as we age, change is harder. Some of us are making the change without our spouse, some are relocating from a different part of the province to be closer to their family and some are moving for health and safety reasons. The decision to move was hard… but once it was made, I found everything else quite easy! I settled in quickly and feel very at home here. And Hey! I have 5 kids, so the actual move was conducted with free child labour… available for rent if needed.
3) Is it affordable? For me personally it’s comparable to having my home. Here, all utilities are included, phone, cable, internet, and an emergency pendant. There are no maintenance fees, no utility fees, no property taxes - one bill, no stress!
4) The area seems quite busy. Most of Durham Region is growing and yes, it is a densely populated area, however, I am happy with the closeness of everything I would need. ie. Costco, banks, restaurants, grocery stores, pet food, pharmacy and more!
These are all a short 2–3 minute drive away. Let’s face it, most retirement homes are built in areas like this that cater to the needs of Seniors, so they don’t need to be driving on the busy roads for long.
5) How was it making new friends? I have been very fortunate to meet some wonderful new friends that had the same fear and concerns that I had. Everyone is very kind and caring and you feel like they have been your friends and neighbours for years.
For anyone considering Retirement Living, I can honestly say this transition has improved my quality of life and I wish I had moved sooner. Come for a tour here at Winchester, you may be pleasantly surprised!
You can even ask for me by name!

For as long as I can remember I have always been passionate about working with seniors and find it very personally rewarding. Some of my previous experience has been in a Therapeutic Recreation Management role in LTC for over 20 years, and most recently as a General Manager in the Retirement sector for the past 6 years. I am very excited to be apart of the new Winchester Glen Community, not only to be able to engage and build relationships with residents, staff, and families, but to be able to welcome residents into this beautiful home with all the amenities it has to offer.
