A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Chartwell Erinview vs. Evergreen Retirement Community - Verve Senior Living

CHARTWELL ERINVIEW

Erinview's newest building, which opened in 2019, raises the bar of care and community created in this established retirement residence. It's a completely contemporary living environment surrounded by beautiful older homes on tree-lined streets in Sheridan Homelands. Ideal for families in Mississauga, Milton, Oakville, and elsewhere in the west GTA, the Erinview offers a uniquely homey feeling. That comes straight from the top, from a company focused on caring for elders. And one of the ways that's best exemplified is in the relative affordability of this community, compared to other seniors' residences in the area.

Erinview is a gem. My parents moved there once they both had some health issues and loved it! Even my Dad who was not on board and did not want to leave his house, was so happy there. In fact, he would tell me every time he saw me how grateful he was that I convinced him to move. My Dad had Parkinson's and cancer and needed more and more help, the staff was not only caring but also so kind and helpful. I knew he was in good hands when I was not there. My mom has Dementia, and this was so good for her as she had someone to do the cooking and cleaning, and she could not worry about that anymore. Tamara is a superstar, she was reassuring the first time I met her, and until the last time. When my Dad passed in the home, I felt the compassion and support of everyone, especially Justine and Allison. And as an only child, it was really amazing to have them be there for my Dad and me.

My mother has been at The Erinview for.over 3 years now and has found a second home. Thank you for all do for ma!!!

I recently stayed at Erinview for 5 1/2 weeks following cardiac surgery and was very satisfied with the experience. The support and kind attention given by the staff, as well as the great meals and comfort of a modern suite, were instrumental in my recovery from the surgery. I would recommend Erinview as an excellent choice for anyone who requires respite care.

Tamara and her team provide a home and customer service to the residents of Erinview that is second to none. An exceptionally high quality of life and supports are provided to the residents of this home. Tamara knows the value of keeping the "family" in "family business." These characteristics carry over into her dedication to the residents and her management style. Everyone is an equal at Erinview and this makes an enormous difference in the quality of life the residents enjoy. From the moment you walk in the front door, you are immediately at ease and feel at home. Small homes and teams really do it better.

I stayed for 2 weeks after my knee surgery The place is very clean and well organized. The dining room staff was very attentive and helpful. All staff are very helpful and caring.

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.
