This seniors' residence is ideal if you want a wide variety of things to do and luxuries to indulge yourself in, perfect for those people who have given a lot and deserve to be pampered in their retirement. The staff here is exceptionally professional and caring.
Scarborough Retirement Residence combines proximity to the heart of Toronto with a down-home, family-owned feeling. It’s a relatively small community, where staff can tailor care to individual’s needs. There’s a genuine sense of compassion that comes through in everything they do here. Management is sincere, caring, detail-oriented, and focused on the comfort of seniors. Senior living is truly their life's passion as you’ll discover.
My mother, who has Alzheimer's, has lived there since August and the staff there is simply the best. They are so caring and patient. The Metta Memory programme provides residents with mental & social stimulation through activities such as fitness, arts & crafts, games and more. My mother was living alone after my father died, and he was worried about her mental decline. He'd be very happy (and I know he is) to know she is so well looked after. The staff spend so much time with the residents and they do not lack for anything. No one wants to see their loved one have to go to a long term care facility, but because it's MMR, I sleep soundly knowing she is so well looked after, just like Dad wanted.
My sister has been a resident at McCowan Retirement Residence for over 2 years now. During this time, staff have been most helpful and responsive which has been so very helpful for me as I live an hour away. Recently one of the staff, Mary Mc was able to help my sister get her Netflix back on her TV so that she could watch her special program. Mary stayed with the task until she was able to make it work... It was so appreciated!
My Father had Alzheimer's as well as COPD so he was on the 6th floor at McCowan Retirement Residence. The staff there was so good and kind with him and my Father loved the programs that they had. In particular the history program with the Titanic (he talked about that event for weeks after) and the Monarch Butterfly program which I have a treasured photo of my Dad holding a monarch butterfly. I know my Dad was happy there although I know it was tough at times. Many thanks to the program directors for putting their hearts and souls into the programs for the residents. They definitely make a difference in the lives of the residents.
I have been very pleased with the care of my aunt on the dementia floor. Mary and the activation team always make sure to include her in the events and activities that take place throughout the building.
In 2019, my Dad was 85 years old and living along in his apartment. He had some dementia but was otherwise active and healthy. He was determined that he would not move from his apartment. Then he had a brain injury from a fall and required surgery. He was sent to Providence to recover. We then made arrangements for him to spend a month at MRR. After the first month, we told him he could stay at MRR. He loved it. He loved the meals, the residents, the activities and the staff. He stayed for 4 happy years and it was home for him. It was a huge relief for me, especially during Covid, knowing that he was safe and well cared for. The staff at MRR are exceptional people in every way.
What I liked about Scarborough when I first sort of visited it was it's a smaller community and I felt that there was more of an opportunity for my mum to feel part of a family versus getting lost in the crowd... Scarborough Retirement Residence bills themselves as a boutique senior residence and I consider it as such. There's very much a family feel when you enter the residence. And in terms of the ownership and management team, I feel that they're really first class... Mom has a greater level of contentment and with that contentment... she doesn't have to worry about anything. She doesn't have to worry about looking after the house or paying bills or anything like that. She can really just enjoy her life. And so I've seen that kind of improvement. There's no question that kind of change is a significant change for someone of that age to move from the family home into a new residence. But with time, I've seen her make that adjustment. She feels that she's safe, she doesn't have to worry about anything. I've noticed the difference when I call her. There's an upbeat tone in her voice now. For me, it feels like a home environment, a place where you actually can call it home. It has that welcoming feel as soon as you walk in the door. Staff are super friendly. There's usually residents sort of sitting in the lobby enjoying a conversation. That smaller community feel gives you a sense that you're in a home.
My mom has been a resident at SRR for close to 3 years. This place is extremely well run and puts the care and comfort of its residence first. The staff are very kind and empathetic and this approach is seen at every level of the organization. From the ownership to the facility support person the residents are the number one priority. This last year during the pandemic has been extremely difficult for all seniors homes but I’m happy to say my mom and her fellow residents have been kept safe and healthy throughout the ordeal. SRR follows protocols to the letter but is also innovative in delivering the enrichment activities and services that are so important to the well being of the residents. We would recommend SRR without reservation to anyone looking at moving into this residence.
I've made many friends here. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
It's loaded with things to do: learn how to paint a picture, join a party and have some fun ... it has everything!
There are many things that keep me busy here [including] exercise, entertainment, games and trips.
