A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Arabella Retirement Living vs. White Cliffe Terrace - Verve Senior Living

ARABELLA RETIREMENT LIVING

Numerous aspects of Arabella Retirement Living in Belleville are remarkable, but the standout for us is the luxurious suites that will form the center of the lifestyle change you’ll go through here. The fully contemporary designs are spectacular, noteworthy for the wonderful views of the Lake. Belleville seniors and their families should be excited for this wonderfully conceived project.

My grandma stays here, and I’ve been talking with Canveet. He’s awesome and so accommodating. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

I met the manager of Arabella retirement home at a local event and really liked how they talked about caring for residents. We had a really good conversation, and I asked to visit. The place felt clean, warm, and welcoming, and the staff was kind and attentive. I even met my friend’s grandparents there, and they seemed genuinely happy and well taken care of, which meant a lot to see. Overall, it feels like a safe and caring place, and I’d definitely recommend it.

I was really impressed with the overall quality of the facility and experience. Just as important, it was fantastic to experience your amazing staff, all with smiling faces and looking to help wherever they could... I had several interactions with residents... All in all, it was a great event at Arabella, and thanks to the staff at Arabella.

Arabella's hosting of their first Belleville Chamber mingle was above and beyond. From the food to the mixologist, no detail was overlooked! The space looked incredible, the ambiance was inviting, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

A beautiful, warm and welcoming place. Friendly staff, lots of activity options, and the food is great.

Like many others, we did our due diligence in search of a place for Mom to retire! When we came across White Cliffe Terrace, our search ended....We had found our place! So kind, so caring, and so professional on every level. We moved Mom in, this past year, and she is so comfortable and loved by all. We know and have confidence that when we are not around, she is well cared for! Thank you to all! We are all so impressed!

I'm impressed in many ways with this seniors' residence. It's like a cruise ship, except it has a lovely backyard. What's important is our family member likes it. The staff is great and the dining room experience is also very good.

WhiteCliffe Retirement Residence ALWAYS goes above and beyond not just for my dad but for our family as well! They took my dad in when we had a house fire. The staff are absolutely amazing! We are back in our house now and my dad is home with us. The manager Anne, still asks how my dad is doing. Dad has Alzheimers and sometimes he wanders. If he gets lost, he mentions Whitecliffe and the person he talks to calls Anne and she calls me right away. Sometimes, dad even walks back to Whitecliffe and they alway accept him with open arms. Whitecliffe is an amazing place for your loved one.

My mother-in-law just moved into White Cliffe Terrace in Clarington. We searched for over a year for a suitable retirement home for her and decided this was a perfect fit. The staff has went over and beyond to maker feel at home and comfortable in her new surroundings. It has a beautiful dining room and the food is excellent. The ladies she sits with have made her feel at home. The bistro has snacks and coffee available 24-7. We feel she has made a good choice and highly recommend WhiteCliffe. Thank you to all the staff.

My mom decided she was ready to move into retirement living. After an extensive tour of other facilities in the Oshawa, Clarington area, we all agreed White Cliffe would be best for her. I am happy to report she loves it here. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my mom is comfortable, entertained and fed an excellent selection and variety of meals. They provide a monthly calendar of activities for the residents and my mom is engaged in as many as she can. White Cliffe worked with us to accommodate her specified move in date and she was lucky enough to move in to a newly, fully renovated unit. She has made several new friends, and continues to entertain her family and longtime friends as usual in her lovely new home. I would highly recommend this residence for you or your loved one.

One never gets a second chance to make a first impression. The first thing you will notice is how much bright natural light we have from all the floor to ceiling windows in the lobby and throughout the main floor. The laughter and camaraderie among residents, staff, family and friends is like no other – we take the time to laugh together, hold hands or give a hug. We listen to the residents and develop new programs and menus according to their needs and desires. We enjoy our beautiful courtyard, eating outdoors at the BBQ, and having bonfires.

We introduce them to one of our community ambassadors who take them on a tour of the residence and introduce them to new friends. Luckily, the pool, dining room, library, bistro, auditorium, and other amenities, are all on the ground floor so it is very easy to get around giving piece of mind that new residents will find what they are looking for.

If you like a large residence with extensive amenities or a highly active, resort-style retirement lifestyle may find another setting more aligned with their expectations. On the other hand, if you need memory care or long-term care you may find another community suited better to your needs. White Cliffe Terrace is best suited to seniors who benefit from a supportive care environment and appreciate a smaller community with attentive staff and personalized support.

ARABELLA RETIREMENT LIVING

Laughter rings throughout our walls! Whether it be in the lobby/lounge, the dining room, the auditorium and in the hallways – a good vibe can be felt throughout.
