I am very impressed with the staff and how they deal with residents as well as any issues that present themselves, they are always caring and concerned. I thoroughly enjoy the activities, the different programs, as well as the amazing cleaning and the kitchen staff, they are so accommodating. Patsy and Shelby are two of my favourite people and were so helpful especially when I moved in. I had a rough start initially due to some health issues, but have settled in well, finding residence here very friendly I am happy here.

My Aunt was so against moving into a retirement home. I suggested we just take a tour. She loved it. Residents were playing cards and exercising. The staff all smiled at us and when we were leaving she gave Patsy a hug. I think it's safe to say when she is ready we will choose The Bradley. It's beautiful and bright.

After the death of my husband in 2023, I visited The Bradley, mainly because after a career in Public Health, I realized I needed more people in my life. At The Bradley, I found highly intelligent warm people, with whom I’ve made close friendships through the amazing parties, educational series, and an Administration, whose members are incredibly responsive to the residents’ needs, wants and suggestions. I am so happy here as I have embarked on “ my new life” here. Come and join us !!!
