My father recently moved to Toronto at 85 years old and we needed to find him a place that was welcoming, engaging and comfortable. Four Elms exceeded our expectations. We worked with Tashi to see the building, understand the activities and the community. I have never seen a community sooo welcoming. My father has been living at Four Elms for 3 weeks now and he has friends he hangs out with, he is enjoying great food and meaningful activities. We truly can't be any happier.

We could not have been happier with our family member's experience at Four Elms. From our first inquiry phone call with Shayna, we felt heard and knew our loved one would be cared for the way they needed. And they know how to throw a party!

After comparing many retirement residences for my parents, Four Elms was without question the best choice we found — the warmest, most welcoming, and the best value by far. Since my parents moved in, they have been incredibly happy with every aspect of their experience, from the delicious food and engaging activities to the friendly residents and genuinely caring staff. They wish that they had moved there years ago! The atmosphere is modern and inviting, and their apartment is beautiful and spacious. A very special mention goes to Shayna List, who truly held our hands through the entire process from beginning to end. She knew exactly how to support my mother, who was very trepidatious about the move, and did so with exceptional warmth, patience, and compassion. I can’t recommend Four Elms highly enough to anyone looking for a retirement residence. It has given our family real peace of mind.
