A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Chartwell Erinview vs. Port Credit Residences - 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.

Innovation and newness are a hallmark of life at Port Credit Residences. This was one of the first GTA communities to employ the Brain Gym program, which helps train seniors in improving their memory and handling stress. The program even throws in some physical exercise. The availability of the community's nurse practitioner was also a Toronto first, when the building opened in 2011. Visiting "therapy dogs" are one more aspect of life at Port Credit Residences that make this community stand out.

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.

The Mother’s Day brunch was lovely. I ate items I would not have normally chosen and enjoyed them tremendously. The food, staff, and establishment are all top-notch. Thank you :)

I have dined with my Mum and Dad on numerous occasions. The staff is wonderful and flexible with meal requests. Kirollos has done a wonderful job, especially given dietary and budget limitations and residents’ critiques.

Port Credit Residences has been life-changing for our family. My mom is hard to get on the phone because she is always attending an event, an exercise class, a painting class, going to the theatre to watch a movie, playing Mexican train - she is SO busy!!! And most importantly, she is so happy. Which means we are too. We attended the Mother's Day Brunch, and I am still full! What a delicious meal and obviously carefully considered and prepared. I always enjoy coming to the residence to see my mom, and she is thriving.

My loved ones came to Port Credit Residences for the Mother’s Day brunch. The facility was clean, and the staff was very welcoming. My family told me I missed out on an incredible meal hosted in the dining room. They said the Head Chef put on a spectacular show, Margaret was warm and welcoming to my family, and Jackie was exceptionally sweet and kind. Thank you so much for making the day so amazing and memorable for my family.

I had the pleasure of staying at Port Credit Residences for a 10-week Respite stay, recovering from major surgery. The staff and management were all very friendly and inviting, and the facilities and amenities were very clean. The Residence has a very large gym and a swimming pool that really helped with my recovery. The dining room is very upscale and clean, and food was great and had lots of variety. Overall, I had a great experience and highly recommend.
