MCCOWAN RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - METTA LIFESTYLES

This seniors' residence is perfect for seniors who have given a lot during their lives and deserve to be pampered in retirement. Walk around and you'll see many more amenities than a typical condo complex. Retiring here means retiring in style! Situated close to the Lake and the Bluffs, McCowan offers an ideal mix of city living with some spectacular nearby greenspace. It's also close to both the Scarborough Hospital and Scarborough Village Recreation Centre. Nearby, there's a great selection of shopping, restaurants, and more.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

DELMANOR WYNFORD

My husband and I moved into Del Manor Wynford just over a year ago, and I can say without hesitation that it's the best thing we could have done. The units are lovely, and the entire building is beautifully maintained. And the food!!! It's fantastic. The variety is endless with delicious daily specials and the accommodation of any dietary restrictions you might have always taken into account. But the best thing about being here is the kind and caring staff. Everyone works so hard to keep the residents happy and comfortable, and they are always looking for ways to make sure you have the best experience possible. On that note I'd like to give a special shout-out to our wonderful concierge, Imtiaz, who treats everyone like family and goes out of his way to help you with any concerns you might have. There are also lots of different activities you can take part in, such as card games, Bingo, and more. There are movies and entertainment as well. The residents I've met are easy to get along with, and several have become very close friends. So if you are looking for a retirement home where you can feel comfortable and respected, I strongly suggest you take the time to check Del Manor Wynford out. I know you won't be disappointed.

I have lived in Delmanor Wynford for almost 3 years now. I am delighted with the entire experience, everyone on the Staff, and their services. They all are all kind, thoughtful, happy, and fully qualified in providing their services. From the moment that they each meet you, they remember your name, your meal preferences, and your special medical needs. All of the residents are very interesting, have amazing life experiences to share, and become wonderful friends to know and to share your experiences with. The food selection is varied, is well-prepared, and is served with fun and laughter. In short, I am delighted to be able to live here!

I am a resident of Delmanor Wynford and have never felt so pampered! Until my move in January, I did my own cooking, cleaning etc. Now I get weekly housekeeping, including linen laundry, wonderful meals, a wide range of activities and entertainment to choose from, and medical assistance on call. Staff is amazing! Everyone greets you by name and goes out of their way to make you feel at home. You can tell that I am very happy to be part of my Delmanor Wynford home.

I personally recommend reaching out to the amazing Manager at Delmanor, Iryna Horyacheva. Give her a call to book your tour, you will be happy to see how life looks there for you or your loved ones! When I visited, I was truly impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The happy faces of the residents and staff say it all, this means so much for our senior relatives.

On my recent visit to Delmanor from the moment I walked in the building the front desk staff was very courteous and friendly. All of the staff members were very kind to my grandmother and I was happy to see she feels at home. I have no concerns about the treatment and I am happy to know such amazing staff exists at Delmanor!

Nice and clean. Great activities.

My daughters and their friends had the pleasure of performing for the residents. This was my first time in the home, and it was truly wonderful to see the interaction of the staff and the residents. Mary Rafter was instrumental in helping set up the performance. We know Mary from my kids' days at St. Agatha's, as she was a staple at the school, setting up programs for the students. It is nice to see that she has stayed in the community and is now supporting the elderly community with her creativity and programs. The residence itself looked very welcoming and homey!

My mother-in-law had a great time staying at McCowan Retirement Residence. She enjoyed all the recreational activities, including bingo, Christmas sing-along, colouring, and crafts. All the staff were very helpful and attentive to her needs. Although she had a short stay, I can tell she enjoyed this residence!

This place exceeded our expectations in every way. From the friendly and helpful staff to the knowledgeable and attentive caregivers, our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we are grateful. Our mom's rehab stay was a resounding success, thanks to the dedication and expertise of the entire team. Sandy, her nurse, was a standout – caring, kind, knowledgeable, and professional. We're also grateful for the outstanding care provided by Gayatri, the physiotherapist, and the PSWs who supported our mom's recovery.

Thank you to the staff who are all nice and caring. Sandy, Geraldine, and Ana (to name a few) are great at their jobs, especially when taking care of my mom. I highly recommend this home.
