The Embassy West is a wondrous residence ! We were taken on a tour of the residence by Anuj, very personable manager, well-informed and in tune to his staff and resident. They were always greeted by name and happy to help their residents. Seems like a small detail but it tells you a lot. There was a crossword game in the common room at our visit, well-attended and they were all engaged and having fun. They have a lovely chapel and dining room, big theatre room, a pool ! and a physiotherapy office on site. They offer independent living and assisted living. There is a waiting list, not too long and unfortunately my father was not eligible as he now requires long-term care. But my best friend and I were very impressed and would not hesitate in the future to get on the list ! Highly recommend this quiet classy residence !

My Mum was there from March 2017 until March 2018, when she passed away. I couldn't have asked for a better place for her to be for her last year. The staff are so caring and treat their residents as almost family. Any questions or concerns I had were dealt with swiftly and professionally. The chef there prepares a variety of good homemade dishes. There is always some sort of activity going on throughout each day. There is even an on-site physiotherapy company which Mum had personal contact with and were a great help to her post-stroke. Don't judge a book by its cover. Although, for those of us who grew up in Ottawa, it still has the appearance of the Embassy West Hotel, in the end, what is most important is to find somewhere for your loved one where you can go to sleep at night knowing that there is caring watchful eye being kept on them. It doesn't matter if there aren't fancy decorations. It matters that your loved one is being cared for with love and compassion.

My mother has been in Embassy West Senior Living for the last 2+ years and I am very happy with her care. My mother stayed at another care facility and she was very unhappy and we were very concerned. At Embassy West, ALL staff including the kitchen, management, nurses, PSW's are simply amazing and give personalized attention and care and the facility is very clean. If there are any changing circumstances or issues to be looked at, they look into it in a very timely fashion, rectify it and communicate very effectively. I would recommend Embassy West to anyone who is looking for great quality care.
