3/5 Staff 3/5 the food is basic high-school cafeteria grade 3/5 Amenities... meh I don't expect lux 3, 4 or 5-star meals but for the cafeteria grade food, I'd expect something that at least looks palatable. Food looks more like bulk leftovers cooked into a one-meal-pot. Staff can be pleasant or non-existent. It varies from day to day. Sometimes we get good ones, while other times we get ones who act and treat us like they'd rather be somewhere else. Overall the building is basic clean - not hospital grade clean, but adequate. On hot days the halls bleed a musty odor. For the price we're paying we'd get more if we moved to one of the outlying cities at the very edge of the GTA like Stouffville. ...meh!

One of the better homes run my the city of Toronto. Our singing group, the Westenders performed there yesterday to a good crowd of about 40 people. The place is clean, presentable and the staff are great!
