My dad was sent here recently. He absolutely loves it. Staff are so friendly and take such good care of him. I feel so relieved he is in such a clean and well run facility.

My Mother was only at Extendicare for 4 months before she passed away. She seemed to be well cared for and even though she was quite ill, the staff tried to get her involved in activities and make her feel at home. All the staff I met were friendly and caring and my Mom thought they were nice. I'm not sure how the food tasted but there was always plenty and the staff was quick to learn how you liked your coffee or tea. Everything was clean and they were careful about following covid protocols. Thank you for caring for my Mother. I truly appreciate the care you gave her.
