Résidence Sonata

My great-aunt lives here, and honestly, every time I visit her, I leave feeling reassured. She loves her residence, constantly participates in activities, and always speaks fondly of the staff. The team truly cares for the residents, and you can feel it as soon as you walk in the door. The atmosphere is warm, calm, and lively all at once. The food is also a pleasant surprise: delicious meals and a nice variety every day. The pool is magnificent and a huge bonus. It's truly wonderful to see a loved one so happy and well cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to any family looking for a caring, safe, and welcoming facility for a relative.

There are not enough activities to keep the residence busy. Especially for the men. In the Cambridge(another Reseau Select) there are wood working classes, There is a bowling alley. There is a coffee shop where the residence gather and have coffee and sandwich or pastry and chat any time they want. The Vise Versa has a pool that is closed most of the time. There is a resident that actually will play his organ in the common area downstairs which the other residence love but that's it. My parents moved in when it opened and I found their health deteriorated from then. They were bored. They would sit in their apartment and watch TV. There was no bus to take them to mall to have something to do. My mom has since passed away and now there is a bus but it is not regular. The people there are bored, they need to ask the residence what needs to be done to make things better. I won't even get started on the meals if you cannot go down to eat. I will be here to long. All I will say is that I would not be surprised to hear of residents going without their meals then getting sicker because of it. Especially the ones that don't want to stir anything up. Which with my parents I stirred things up. My dad is now in the full care unit and there is nothing there for them either. They sit and look at each other waiting to die. The staff on the second floor are excellent. You could not ask for better but there is only so much they can do.
