A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Bruyère Health Senior Living vs. The Riverine

BRUYèRE HEALTH SENIOR LIVING

This state-of-the-art 60+ seniors village is ideal for people who love Ottawa and/or have family in the area. People live very comfortably here, with everything they need in a tranquil location overlooking the Ottawa River. Bruyère Health Senior Living is distinguished for its combination of affordability with newness. The innovative environment includes up-to-date conveniences, accessibility features, and spaciousness throughout.

THE RIVERINE

This care home is ideal for seniors from the Greater Napanee area, or for seniors from out of the area with family near here. No matter where you are coming from, you will feel at home in the beautifully-appointed interiors here. Easy access to the 401 makes it easy for family from anywhere east of Toronto to make a visit. It's the perfect place to retire into an easy-going community of like-minded people, who want to leave the cooking and cleaning to someone else.

BRUYèRE HEALTH SENIOR LIVING

Excellent location. Great suites. I am very impressed with the whole operation. It’s like a one-stop shop.

Very nice clean seniors home for independent living. Well-maintained and pleasant.

It's [really just] a big family, but we have our own lives.

THE RIVERINE

2010, in her 90th year, my Mother joined her sister, 5 years her senior, at the Riverine. Both were very hesitant to leave homes on the Napanee area farms where they raised their families; but the widows who had worked & travelled together in their senior years, happily re-united in this clean, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Later on, following many visits, 2 ‘younger’ sisters, also widowed, joined them from suburban Kingston. For several years, the 4 siblings enjoyed many crafts, activities, and outings organized by Riverine staff. Now Mom & her older sister have moved on. They’re missed, but our families will forever appreciate the kind attention Christine, her admin. team, and all nurses & staff wrapped around them during their life in this warm, welcoming community. We learned, as they helped Mom (and us) through difficult changes: giving up licence & car, moving from her apartment to a full-care room, and relying on a walker, that we had made a wise choice for our Mom.

My Dad is here, they do a great job!

With a variety of regular entertainment geared to people like me, my wonderful new friends here, and these lovely surroundings to relax in, I'm never lonely.

Words can't describe how wonderful life at The Riverine actually is.

The meals are excellent. The accommodations are superb.
