My Mom has been a resident of Idlewyld Manor for over 3 years & I have only good things to say about this long term care facility. The staff are friendly, compassionate & kind, they always greet you with a smile. A special thankyou to Gateside Nurses, PSW's, Nicole, Sophia, Nita, Prosha, Medical Staff & all involved with Moms care. Her needs are met promptly, no matter how busy they are. It's clean & inviting and the gardens are lovely. It's always decorated according to the holidays and seasons. I'm always kept up to date about Moms care and any issues, it gives me peace of mind. Thank you so much to everyone at Idlewyld Manor! 😊🌻
