Perhaps new management will improve the sorry state of cleanliness and care here. When all is said and done, our loved one is safely and happily placed in Long Term Care but spent a few months here in deplorable conditions. We visited, reported and intervened more than we had to while attempting to keep them at home. It was no respite for our loved ones or us. Their conditions decreased significantly while in care here. The second floor “enhanced care” needs serious nursing, training, intervention and oversight if they are going to continue to present it as a positive move. I will spare you the photos.

My sister in law was diagnosed with dimentia and her family moved her into Peterborough retirement residence so we could be close. We found the facility to be clean and well maintained. We realized that patients with dementia can present challenges for their care givers. We also recognized and appreciated that the staff were well trained and competent and that the wonderful management team always took time to listen, understand and resolve any issue with professionalism and kindness. Our sincere thanks to all the wonderful people at the Peterborough retirement home on water street for helping to make my sisters life as comfortable as possible during her most vulnerable and difficult time of life.
