My brother was a residence of Rideau. He was initially hesitant to move from his previous residence but loved living at Rideau and never once regretted the move. The staff were friendly, caring and made sure my brother was well cared for when needed. This contributed greatly to his enjoyment with living at Rideau and to my peace of mind. The other residents were very welcoming and this also helped with the transition. My brother was also a big fan of the meals! He loved the choice of food as well as the dining room atmosphere.

I know my mother is getting good care delivered with kindness and consideration. As Rideau is a non-profit I am confident that what they offer is from the heart not with an eye on profit making. Many staff have been there a long time- this indicates that they are happy and happy staff do a good job. When I call Rideau appreciate how friendly and kind they are to me too! Some senior residences have lots of fancy finishing - but thats not what makes a place feel like a home! When I need care, if I am lucky enough to live that long.. Rideau will be the place for me! And I tell all my friends that too!
