Review of St. Bernard's Residence
I am very happy living in St. Bernard's, well taking care of by the staff. I told all my friends that St. Bernard's is the best place to live if they are looking for a place. There is no place as good as St. Bernard's.

Lovely comfortable home with very caring staff. Several areas for the 46 residents to sit and spend time together. Many bright units although all are studios. There is a kitchenette area on each floor. The home backs onto a wooded area next to the West Don River. Looks very appealing.

A great safe, compassionate place for mom.
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful our family is for the care our mother received at St. Bernard's. Marivic, Dr. Kahansky, nurses, Sisters, kitchen and admin staff, all of the staff were so warm, compassionate and professional. We always felt mom was safe. She enjoyed her time there and made many friends. St. Bernard's is a jewel among the other facilities I visited to determine where we would place mom. The gardens and outdoor space is beautiful with a West Don running along one side. Our thanks to St. Bernard's will never be forgotten.

Welcoming
My mother was treated like royalty upon her arrival to St Bernard House. She is so happy and content. She says the food is very healthy and well balanced. She loves going to mass every evening. She loves taking walks in the gardens. She feels at home and around people who truly care for her. We are grateful to Dustin for his helpful and kind communication from the beginning of this process. The move went smoothly and we are relieved to find a home that my mom felt instantly comfortable and special. Thank you to everyone at St. Bernard House.
