I was given the opportunity to sample life at Wellington West Retirement residence and was overwhelmed with the friendliness of both the residents and the staff. The decor is lovely, the food excellent and there are programs throughout the day to appeal to most people. On a scale of 10 out of 10, I would certainly choose 10. Beverley Rowan

I want to thank everyone at Wellington West for the wonderful care I received during my stay after my knee surgery. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel welcome, comfortable and supported. The Nurses, care staff and all team members were kind, patient and always willing to help. Their encouragement and cheerful attitude made my recovery so much easier. The meals were delicious, and the home had such a warm and peaceful atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Wellington West Retirement Home, a place to stay.
