Our Perspective

How we see Wintergreene Estates - Verve Senior Living

This community is brought to you by Verve, and they really do bring Verve to living here. There are hotspots throughout this community where you see friends gathered, enjoying each others' company. When new people move in, they are made to feel welcome and comfortable, and soon the new surroundings become a new home, one that – in many ways – might be the best home you can imagine.

When you walk into Wintergreene Estates you'll see residents enjoying life in a variety of ways. There are people playing cards in the multipurpose room — some of them enjoying a beverage while they do so — others are getting a massage in the spa, while a small group is happily working out in the fitness centre. The large multipurpose room has a variety of settings spread throughout, where people can create their own intimate groups for conversation or games. Further inside, the spacious dining room opens onto bright sunlight, and in the kitchen, the chef is preparing something undoubtedly delicious. That's the bustle of activity that makes communal living in a fantastic retirement home such a welcome change from the inherent loneliness of holding onto your own home.

Just check out the activities available! There's gardening and outdoor walking programs to make outdoors fun in the summer sun. Inside, there are bingo nights, movie nights, Wii bowling and of course, the much-beloved shuffleboard.

This home is well-established but it also feels completely updated. You can tell that the seniors here feel very at home, comfortable in their surroundings but at the same time very happy with the services and care that are unique to a personal care community. For Regina residents who want the very best in senior living, Wintergreene Estates offers that in spades.

What residents and their loved ones say about Wintergreene Estates - Verve Senior Living in reviews.

Jesse Bailey, family member

"Wintergreene has been a wonderful place for our family as our parent has adjusted to their new phase of life. The quality of food, level of care, and knowledge that your loved one is cared for is only the beginning of what makes Wintergreene an incredible place. It's a very difficult thing to help a senior parent come to terms with the fact that their living arrangements need to change and that they need more support in their lives. The staff that support that transition, from the first tour ..."

Jenna Bailey, family member

"When looking for places for my dad to move into, atmosphere and the staff played a huge role, and Wintergreene was by far the most welcoming place we visited in Regina. The staff are incredible, which means a lot as you want your parents/family in good hands as they age. My dad also gives the food rave reviews, and anytime I’ve eaten with him it doesn’t disappoint. They also offer activities during the day, as well as scheduled outings during the week, which is great when the residents can n..."

Terry L. Allen, family member

"Mom has lived there less than a year, but already it's clear the staff cares deeply about providing a good experience for Wintergreene's residents. The amenities are fabulous, the building well maintained and the staff couldn't be more helpful or delightful. "
