PARKLAND AJAX

Parkland Ajax offers seniors improvement on every level, creating an experience you won’t find elsewhere, especially living by yourself. Shannex locations across the GTA encourage seniors to create lives they love. Parkland Ajax is state-of-the-art senior living, rife with amenities that include a concierge service, a fitness studio, spa services, a hairdresser, in-house movie theatre, and lots of fun activities, from bocce, bingo, and shuffleboard, to arts and crafts. But Shannex goes much deeper than those things.

ROYAL HEIGHTS INC.

Royal Heights Oshawa is ideal for seniors who want to move out of an older home and have the very best. It's also a smart move for those thinking ahead to changing care needs.

We were lucky enough to attend the High Tea Party that was provided by Ashley Williams and her team at Parkland. The staff at Parkland are always offering enjoyable entertainment and activities for the residents, but this event was truly special. The vintage teacups, teapots, delicious sandwiches, and treats brought back treasured memories, as high tea was something that my family really enjoyed but rarely experienced. The live violin music was an extra bonus and added to the ambiance. It was an afternoon to chat with friends and meet new people in such an elegant setting. We appreciate that this was all provided without any additional charge. Thank you to Ashley and her team, who went that extra mile to create a wonderful experience.

I was invited to give a presentation at Parkland Ajax in January 2026. The audience was welcoming, engaged, and so many asked thoughtful questions! The facility is beautiful and comfortable, and residents have a lot of options for recreation and socialization. Highly recommend for independent active seniors looking to downsize and be part of a wonderful community.

Having visited several times with my sister (a resident at Parkland Ajax), I decided to make the transition myself. During the first months of residence, I was skeptical of my choice to move and whether or not I had made the right decision. However, I soon came to enjoy the courteous welcome and prompt assistance provided by staff, house-keepers and dining room staff, and often on a first-name basis. Meals are provided by friendly servers, with a variety of selections and adjusted to suit the customer. Young and new part-time working college students are quickly trained to become efficient servers. I personally, with limited participation at the multitude of available events, have much enjoyed the opportunity to meet and interact with several friendly resident acquaintances on a first-name basis and in a family-style environment. That, together with the kindly interaction of caring staff, I consider myself to be well taken care of. I find comfort going forward, with the staff's five-star assistance, confident I have made the correct choice.

Parkland Ajax is a beautiful residence and has every amenity you can think of. Their caring staff is what sets them apart. Lisa, Ashley & Eloisa from the management team are thoughtful, caring, and compassionate.

Came for a tour and everyone was friendly, the community was lively with recreational activities running, and the food was amazing! Also attended the holiday market and loved all the vendors, atmosphere, and entertainment! Everyone was so friendly, and I got a ton of Christmas presents that day.

ROYAL HEIGHTS INC.

I have lived at Royal Heights for the past three years. This is the best decision I have ever made. There are so many things to do; they have a wonderful group of volunteer ladies who organize social events throughout the year. Bingo, Luncheon Outings, Pot Luck Dinners, and monthly Birthday Celebrations, to name a few. You can swim in the beautiful saltwater pool, play darts, play pool, and work out. There is a beautiful theatre running movies every Saturday. I have even found a wonderful hairdresser (not far to go). The staff are wonderful and always there for you. If you are thinking of downsizing, please consider Royal Heights. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

This is a very friendly building. I moved here after I lost my husband and gained so many new friends. There are many activities. I personally enjoy the pool. There is darts, bingo, potluck suppers, and dances. The lounge is beautiful. There are puzzles to do and a library. This is a great place to be. The staff is amazing. you will not be disappointed.

Have lived here for 3 years. Great place to live by yourself but have company if you want it, and activities to participate in if you like. The staff are very helpful. It's well situated centrally, close to stores and park areas and the hospital.

My parents moved [here] from their longtime home recently ... [They] are enjoying their new accommodations and are meeting new friends already. They have joined in on some of the many social activities offered and the amenities this beautiful building offers.

I am enjoying my apartment very much and the amenities are great. Looking forward to the restaurant/cafe coming and... The salt water pool is lovely. Being centrally located is a big plus and I feel very fortunate to live in such a lovely place.
