Redwoods Retirement Review
1. (older looking building from the outside, somewhat crowded lobby area) 2. (never commented on any issues). 3. (all staff remember names and greet personally. Telephone is generally pleasant with answering and providing service.) 4. (always available to support and answer questions, readily open to comments and adjustments as required, respectful) 5. for me not having eaten there (my aunt, the resident, not easy to please might rate this a 2: not enough, not flavourful enough, not enough vegetables, not enough variety) 6. (plentiful, inclusive and a healthy variety to support a host of interests) 7. (my aunt is paying for and yet not taking advantage of services provided and for which she pays. She believes that she can live comfortably elsewhere for less money)

Recovering from surgery
I was only there two weeks to recover from surgery. The staff was great and delivered food to my room so I didn't have to go down to the dining room. Everyone was friendly. The food wasn't gourmet, but there was variety and a balanced nutritious menu. The price of my stay was much cheaper than a hotel, especially when considering food was included in the price with nursing assistance if I required it. Great value!

Great experience at the Redwoods
The Redwoods is a wonderful environment with a very caring and friendly staff. After six months, we can only say that we are extremely happy and very glad that we found this place for our dad. As his circumstances changed over this period, the staff were very responsive and offered help to ensure that he continued to enjoy a beautiful living experience. We would highly recommend the Redwoods.

This residence is 20 yrs old and has converted 18 story highrise into a senior residence. located close to IKEA. This residence promotes apartment like condo living by providing full cooking facilities in each of the apartments for the independents. Therefore their pricing does not include meals as they are assuming the resident wants to cook their own meals. Does lots of activities including Maple camps. has access to a pool. all apartments have a balcony NEGATIVE: Parks are 2 blocks away, no place to walk on the residence,

This facility was an apartment building that has been converted to a seniors residence. The building is very clean despite the ongoing construction. The menu was attractive with several options including (At an extra cost) more exotic fare for birthdays and celebrations. Persons needing more care and assistance have their own floor but are in no way restricted in their movements around the building.

Rooms were nice. Seemed a bit busy downstairs and not as open as I would have liked. Not as keen on the community it is in. I did really like the dog that they had there and I think other residents enjoyed having a dog.

Very good care, accommodation, and food.
April was extremely accommodating. She allowed me to take photos for my mother on my first visit to the Redwoods. When we arrived, she had replaced the easy chair with a chair that was more appropriate for my mothers needs. Mum enjoys the meals, which are a good variety and sensible portions. The housekeeping staff are wonderful and come in daily to see if she needs anything. She also gets help with her shower. Her only complaint was that the shower room was not available during renovations. However, the staff offered her help which proved satisfactory. Overall, we are well please with her respite care. My sisters and I are relieved that she is in a retirement home that she likes and in which she feels well taken care of.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Ontario regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Ontario regulations for Assisted Living.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
