A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Parkland on the Glen vs. Port Credit Residences - Verve Senior Living

PARKLAND ON THE GLEN

This building has it all for Toronto seniors. Condo ownership is available for those looking to invest. Rental suites offer exceptional retirement features, with some assistance available. This results in an integrated community, where seniors can decide to switch from condo ownership to care, in a community they're already familiar with. The best thing about the Parkland, though, is the unique combination of in-building luxuries and abundant conveniences just outside the door.

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.

Like a landlocked upscale cruise ship, Parkland on the Glen fills the needs of its passengers in keeping with their living requirements. All levels of care are available from independent condominium living to full 24/7 care. We live in a condo and are pretty much independent; however, the day may come when we need additional assistance. It’s all here if and when required.

Great activities for the community hosted by Grace Miksa. Lovely park-like setting with many nature trails, beautiful views, and easy access to many amenities. Highly recommend.

Fantastic staff, 5* dining, safe environment, worth every penny!

My mom lives here and it's a fantastic place. The staff truly cares about the residents and the beautiful amenities, services, and facilities. Thank you for providing us with peace of mind!

Lovely staff and ambiance!

Living at Parkland on the Glen is just like living in a 5 Star Hotel with all the benefits, and a beautiful one-bedroom apartment. I am so happy here and the staff are so caring and friendly. It would be a long time to find a more beautiful place. Come and take a tour you won’t regret it.

There is such a nice feeling of community amongst all residents. My mother has made lifelong friends and feels like she has found an amazing place to call home. Parkland on the Glen is centrally located in Mississauga with proximity to malls, grocery, and Credit Valley Hospital..lots of walking trails to explore.

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.
