Stayed at Caroline place for two weeks of respite care after knee replacement. Beautiful room, large with kitchenette which I didn’t need because of three meals a day provided. Although the fridge was handy. The menu had a large selection of choices to suit everyone’s needs. Caroline place is a lovely place with spacious dining room, help yourself coffee & snack room also used for Continental breakfast . Did not get to the movie room but it looked lovely . Had a chance to go outside on a sunny day in their courtyard which I enjoyed. Very friendly & helpful staff who all seemed to know my name. They welcomed family & friends who came to visit. All in all I had a good experience while there & miss my lunch companions!

My wife has been a resident there since July 2024. I did love everything about the staff professional, support and Baycrest care she received... Her dementia and physical strength have gotten worse, yet their curtesy and attention has remained excellent. I would recommend this to anyone considering assisted living.

Four years ago we chose Caroline Place for our father and we are so glad we did. The suites are quite large and the staff are wonderful. Very caring people and a very positive happy environment for everyone that lives there. I always feel like there is an open door when I have questions or concerns and there is a lot of support when help is needed. We really appreciate everyone at Caroline Place and highly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely retirement residence.
