THE BRITON HOUSE

The Briton House generates exceptional loyalty among seniors and family members they serve. Not all retirement homes have residents who have been there longer than ten years but there are a few at The Briton House. We believe that loyalty stems from the unique holistic vision of senior care and lifestyle here.

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!

THE BRITON HOUSE

When looking for a retirement home for my father, I had heard nothing but good things from neighbours and others in the community about the Briton House. Our own experience was very positive with very caring staff who would go above and beyond to support my father's needs. Staff turnover was low allowing team members to get to know my dad (and family members like myself). Excellent slate of activities for residents in the independent living floors. Very clean and rigorously maintained building facilities.

I'm so thankful for the Briton House staff. The PSWs, nurses, and recreational therapist on the memory care unit care for residents with genuine warmth, patience, and kindness. The admin, management, and wellness teams communicate with clarity and sensitivity, which is of paramount importance during challenging times. The facilities are thoughtfully designed for seniors, with the beautiful sunlit atrium as the highlight. Thank you for warmly welcoming my dad into your community.

My story begins with panic. I had one month to move my 94 year old mom to a retirement home close to me at Yonge and Eglinton. I phoned every one in the area. The only one that understood my pain was Jared, Marketing manager at the Briton House. Immediately, we had a meeting. The care and compassion was outstanding. I signed on the dotted line he and his staff had a beautiful suite ready for mom... My mom is so happy thanks to everyone at the Briton House.

I researched many retirement homes in Toronto, and Briton House stood out for many reasons. Family owned and operated, an excellent reputation, positive referrals and reasonable pricing put Briton House on the short list. It was quick and easy to book a tour and we were impressed with the comfortable hotel-like atmosphere, relaxing atrium and amenities. Once my loved one moved in, the caring and competent staff provided an environment where she was able to enjoy regular meals, be supported with personal care and flourish, becoming the happy, social person she was before being diagnosed with dementia. You can trust that residents are well cared for, safe and living their best life.

My mom moved here a month ago, it is fantastic. Beautiful facilities, great activities and food and the management and nursing staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.
