When looking for a retirement home for my father, I had heard nothing but good things from neighbours and others in the community about the Briton House. Our own experience was very positive with very caring staff who would go above and beyond to support my father's needs. Staff turnover was low allowing team members to get to know my dad (and family members like myself). Excellent slate of activities for residents in the independent living floors. Very clean and rigorously maintained building facilities.

I'm so thankful for the Briton House staff. The PSWs, nurses, and recreational therapist on the memory care unit care for residents with genuine warmth, patience, and kindness. The admin, management, and wellness teams communicate with clarity and sensitivity, which is of paramount importance during challenging times. The facilities are thoughtfully designed for seniors, with the beautiful sunlit atrium as the highlight. Thank you for warmly welcoming my dad into your community.

I researched many retirement homes in Toronto, and Briton House stood out for many reasons. Family owned and operated, an excellent reputation, positive referrals and reasonable pricing put Briton House on the short list. It was quick and easy to book a tour and we were impressed with the comfortable hotel-like atmosphere, relaxing atrium and amenities. Once my loved one moved in, the caring and competent staff provided an environment where she was able to enjoy regular meals, be supported with personal care and flourish, becoming the happy, social person she was before being diagnosed with dementia. You can trust that residents are well cared for, safe and living their best life.
