A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Chateau Glengarry Retirement vs. The Riverine

CHATEAU GLENGARRY RETIREMENT

One of the best things about this small town retirement community is its combination of cozy intimacy with some of the pampering and amenities people in larger centres expect. Efficiency and diligent compassion are a hallmark of the staff’s attitude, highlighted when you hear how families talk about this community. Staff bring an old-fashioned work ethic to the care they offer seniors. This community may also appeal to people from Kingston and Ottawa wanting excellent care at rates that are more affordable than similar communities in those cities.

THE RIVERINE

This care home is ideal for seniors from the Greater Napanee area, or for seniors from out of the area with family near here. No matter where you are coming from, you will feel at home in the beautifully-appointed interiors here. Easy access to the 401 makes it easy for family from anywhere east of Toronto to make a visit. It's the perfect place to retire into an easy-going community of like-minded people, who want to leave the cooking and cleaning to someone else.

There certainly is an improvement with mom's health since moving in. Her health has become more stable. She's getting her medicines on time. Everything is scheduled. She's changed since moving in. She used to be very anxious about things but now she doesn't bring that up any more.

They brought my father back to better health -- better than he had been for the past three years. Equally as important, they took away his loneliness. My heartfelt thanks to the entire staff. You gave my father a home and you gave me peace of mind.

I cannot say enough kind words about care my mom received. They were always checking to make sure she was doing okay, if she needed anything, if they could do anything for her. 

Jennifer Asca-Nicholson

All staff went above the call of duty to make sure Uncle Gerald was comfortable and that he always felt like he was part of the Chateau.

THE RIVERINE

2010, in her 90th year, my Mother joined her sister, 5 years her senior, at the Riverine. Both were very hesitant to leave homes on the Napanee area farms where they raised their families; but the widows who had worked & travelled together in their senior years, happily re-united in this clean, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Later on, following many visits, 2 ‘younger’ sisters, also widowed, joined them from suburban Kingston. For several years, the 4 siblings enjoyed many crafts, activities, and outings organized by Riverine staff. Now Mom & her older sister have moved on. They’re missed, but our families will forever appreciate the kind attention Christine, her admin. team, and all nurses & staff wrapped around them during their life in this warm, welcoming community. We learned, as they helped Mom (and us) through difficult changes: giving up licence & car, moving from her apartment to a full-care room, and relying on a walker, that we had made a wise choice for our Mom.
