Had a wonderful afternoon at Westwood Retirement Community. A friend and I were invited to the "high tea" and dancing event on Saturday. WoW !! great music that we got up and danced to .. lots of new friends to chat with and an exceptional "tea" ... lots of food choices, savory and sweet and a range of teas. Thanks to Terry and her staff team for a fun time !!

My friend moved into the Westwood this year. It's is a beautiful building right on Carling Avenue. I visited her this weekend and the staff seemed very kind. I really liked the dinning room and the big fish tank in the lounge. My husband and I have been looking for a place to move into with more care ever since his hip operation. Unfortunately while visiting I had a bad experience with one of the nurses, Helen. She was rude when I asked about the prices. Besides that experience, everyone was great

I stayed at Westwood Retirement home for 10 days after hip replacement and I have nothing but good to say about my experience. The staff are wonderful whether on the floor or in the dining room. They were so pleasant and obliging. The food is also good and mostly home made.
