We’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarah and the team at Villagia in the Glebe, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about their residents. Sarah’s compassion, professionalism, and dedication to resident well-being shines through in everything she does, and her staff share that same commitment. We’ve also heard great feedback from multiple residents about the care, support, activities offered, and sense of community they experience every day. It’s obvious that Villagia is a place where residents are treated with kindness, respect, and dignity. Highly recommend Villagia in the Glebe!

I’ve now been at The Villagia for two months and it’s been a wonderful experience. The staff, the food, the activities are all fantastic. The location is ideal in downtown Ottawa. All the staff in every department are kind, helpful, patient and supportive. The food is wonderful and the activities are a lot of fun. There is always someone available to help when in need no matter what time of day. My family and I are happy that I feel secure, and most of all safe. I can honestly say that moving here is one-of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I can’t say enough about how wonderful The Villagia Retirement Community is. I highly recommend it to your loved ones and friends. They won’t regret it. I’ve added a photo of the view from my 8th floor apartment. It’s beautiful.
