A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Edgewood Suites vs. The Village of Riverside Glen

EDGEWOOD SUITES

Edgewood Suites is ideal for people from urban Ontario who are ready to slow the pace, leave behind the city's traffic and noise, and take life easier. Situated in the town of Dundalk, this is an idyllic, tranquil home in the rolling countryside, where you have everything you need. That said, this new development is also ideal for people from the area who are ready to sell the farm or business and settle into a freer lifestyle.

THE VILLAGE OF RIVERSIDE GLEN

This Guelph retirement home creates a vibrant community for seniors, where all care requirements are well taken care of. The word “community” applies strongly to Riverside Glen; it truly feels like a village, where people look out for each other, know each other by name, and come to care about each other personally. Its innovative architecture, laid out like a small town, is a seniors-friendly environment that includes a general store, library, an outdoor cafe, a hairdresser, and other outlets. The village concept extends to neighbourhoods where every wing has people with similar care needs, and also to the comfortable, relaxed feeling people have when living here.

I’m a happy camper! The fellowship downstairs, the walking group, pizza nights, barbeque nights. Everything here is happy. The other day there were two little ducks sitting out front, and I could watch from my window, with all the new buildings around me. It was just very nice. It’s very comfortable living here. And it’s very, very quiet. Every day, just sitting on my balcony, with a glass of wine in my hand, and the birds calling to each other. I’m in my happy place.

A community within a community. Wonderful group of tenants who participate in a variety of social events that meet individual needs. Co-operative administration who are attentive to our needs. Rural living with urban advantages close by. A place to call home 52 weeks per year.

I love the lovely decorations in the front entrance, the games and library rooms. It makes every space feel homey!

There’s no way I could afford an apartment like this in the city. I love it. I love my backyard. At my old house, I would worry if I left the house. Now, I just lock the door and leave, and I know my neighbours are looking out for me. I don’t have to shovel. I used to dread a snowstorm. You see people who are really friendly with each other. The beauty is that if you need those activities, they are all there. People go to the theatre or golfing together, and it’s really nice to have. They have a walking group and it’s nice that the company is there if you want it. I’m trying to get my life down to simple. Brampton was stressful and frustrating, and I knew I wanted to get out. I was done with the hustle and bustle. I don’t need to be in a place like that any more. I love the beauty of the countryside here. The atmosphere of both the area and the community gives me a deep sense of peace of mind. It’s just very peaceful and relaxing.

Since moving in, I have enjoyed meeting new people and having activities to share, such as pizza night, wine and cheese night, pot luck dinners, plus games every Wednesday afternoon. Edgewood Suites has become my safe and happy place.

Great place to have your loved ones! The staff are amazing! It's the best place. My dad is happy.

Every PSW is very pleasant and always speaks to me. They treat my wife well and seem to be aware of her needs. If I voice a concern, they deal with it immediately.

The best retirement home for my mom in Guelph. The staff make it a home away from home.

We celebrated my mom's (Marg Jackson) 97th birthday, and the six of us shared a meal with her there, provided by her residence. The meal was delicious, and the staff were excellent. Had a great day! Thanks to everyone.

Good, quiet, and serene retirement home on Woodland Road in the north end of Guelph. Plenty of parking. The inside looks like a mall. There are streets named after Guelph Streets. The staff is friendly.
