ASHLEY OAKS RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence is a beautiful, well-appointed residence with knowledgeable, caring, supportive, and professional staff. From personal care workers to activity coordinators to management, everybody at Ashley Oaks is committed, friendly, warm, and caring. They work cohesively, and all are dedicated to providing an environment that is comfortable and welcoming. My Mother has been a resident since the opening of the retirement home, and she feels cared for, supported, and safe. She truly feels like she is part of the Ashley Oaks family. I feel confident, very satisfied, and at peace knowing my Mother is well taken care of, supported, and embraced by this community. I’m very grateful to the Ashley Oaks team.

Incredible facilities, rooms, and extraordinary staff and care. My Mom has really taken to everyone there and feels a sense of belonging. It's so reassuring for us, as well. We are always welcomed like family and have all concerns met immediately.

My grandmother moved here Sept 2025, and we all love Ashley Oaks so much!! We are completely stress-free knowing that she is well taken care of here. The building is so clean and feels like a hotel. All of the staff, from management to kitchen and care staff, are absolutely fabulous! We couldn’t have asked for a better place, and thank god for having found Ashley Oaks!!

Five of our family members now reside at the beautiful Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence—a modern, welcoming facility with friendly and caring staff, delicious chef-prepared meals, and a vibrant social environment filled with activities, including a pool. As a family, we must have toured at least ten other retirement homes, but both the children and the parents unanimously chose Ashley Oaks. Many of their services are included in the base price, whereas other residences charge extra for the same amenities. Now, six months after their move, I can say with complete honesty that all five of them are happy, comfortable, and truly enjoying their new home.

My Mother and sister have been there for over 1 year! From the food, care, and luxurious accommodations, our family has peace of mind that they are both being cared for in every way. The staff is very, very helpful; they keep us informed always with personal, health, and living accommodation needs.

Looking for a place for a loved one, we really appreciate Teodora and her caring, straightforward approach. We appreciate her taking the time to ask questions about my dad, and trying to see the whole person, and she explained a lot about searching for retirement homes. We ended up deciding to go to a different city, but had we chosen Mississauga, we would have chosen this facility.

We moved my mom into Evergreen Retirement Home about a year ago, and it has been a very positive experience for her and for us, as a family. One of the biggest deciding factors was that she could control the heat in her own room. That may sound small, but it mattered a lot to her. We toured another retirement home where this wasn’t possible, and it was a deal-breaker. At Evergreen, she loves coming back to a room that’s warmer than most people would prefer, and that comfort has made a real difference in how happy she feels there. The staff are consistently kind, friendly, and cheerful with her. Before moving in, my mom was living alone after my father passed away, and it was isolating. Her mobility had declined, and she was mostly just moving between the kitchen and her bed. Now she has people around her, a full schedule of activities if she wants them, and a reason to get out of her room for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meals can be delivered, but sitting at a table with others has been great for her socially. Evergreen has also taken a lot of pressure off of us as her kids. Knowing she’s well cared for gives us real peace of mind. PSWs help her with things like showers when needed, and there’s excellent access to healthcare. She’s been able to see an on-site doctor and even booked an appointment with an ear specialist who visits once a month, which is incredibly convenient. A special thank you to Teodora Elez, who guided us through the entire process. She showed us around, visited my mom at her home with other team members, and took the time to make my mom feel comfortable with what could have been a difficult transition. That personal care meant a lot to our family. I often sit with my mom at meals and chat with the other residents, and they are just as friendly and welcoming as the staff. Evergreen is full of good people, and I’m genuinely glad my mom is there. It’s been a very positive experience.

My mother and aunt have been at Evergreen for the past 11 months. My neighbor's grandmother and two of her friends are also at Evergreen for a while, and they love it (they have all become friends in the community).
During this Christmas season, there were plenty of decorations, and it felt like a large family gathering there. Seeing residents so happy as they gather together (including my mother and aunt) made me feel happy that we brought them to Evergreen. The staff were dressed up, and the environment was warm and inviting. I could tell that they put a lot of effort into making everyone feel like one happy family.
I was recommended to Evergreen by a colleague who has both his parents since 2024, and we are both delighted with the treatment our family has received to date. ... We are proud to have our families at Evergreen.

5 years ago, my dad first moved to 810 Scollard Court. He recently moved to 820 Scollard as his needs have changed and he now requires more care. I'd like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Natasha for helping to seamlessly transition my father from 810 to 820 Scollard. Natasha was always available to answer my many questions, ensuring my dad was comfortable throughout the process and welcomed to the 820 Scollard community. Thank you Natasha for your exceptional customer service, and thank you also to Teodora and Melody for your support during the process as well!

Teodora of Evergreen is absolutely wonderful! My brother and I are beginning to have conversations with my father about what retirement living can offer, and having guidance and support from Teodora in these discussions is incredibly helpful. Her gentle demeanor, professional knowledge, and kindness are a testament to Evergreen's commitment to care.
