We never expected that we would as a family have to make such a huge decision and to make it so fast. I had to find a place for my dad who after a stroke couldn't return home safely. I called every place in town and visited places that I hope would be a good landing place for Dad. My heart sunk with what I witnessed out there until that moment when two people from Westhill visited Dad in hospital and immediately graced him with immense kindness, care and laughter! It the months since then we have all had the experience of being invited into a family - a community of people of staff and residents who bring life here with such attentiveness in all the ways that are needed. Dad has said it best - this is home and it allows him to live fully and actively discovering life in all kinds of new ways that brings him joy.

Westhill is a beautiful retirement home, inside and out. The inside is very well-maintained and the grounds are beautiful outside. I was outside at an event with my dad recently and the recreational staff took pride in setting up beautifully decorated tables for a sangria tasting event. They make all the events there inviting for residents. They know the names of the residents and engage with them and make them all feel special. The staff at the front desk, administrators, staff in the wellness centre, nurses, PSW’s, dining room staff , cleaning staff and maintenance staff are all hard-working and extremely friendly. The social team plans numerous events for the residents to participate in. They really look forward to all of these events. I know our family really appreciates everything the staff at Westhill does for the residents. They are top-notch!

Mom spent 3 wonderful years at The Westhill Retirement Residence. All the staff at Westhill from Property Maintenance, PSWs, Nurses, Administration, Dining, Reception and Management were all fabulous and made everyone feel welcomed and loved. Everyone called mom by name, which made her smile. The staff were always cheerful and happy which shows well for management. Thanks Westhill!
