A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Delmanor Elgin Mills vs. Four Elms Retirement Residence - Verve Senior Living

DELMANOR ELGIN MILLS

Delmanor Elgin Mills is an ideal choice if you want to live in community with friendly peers who have given a lot in life, like you, and still feel they have a lot to share with each other. Its location in the heart of Richmond Hill means you're situated close to a wide collection of services and activities, from banks and shopping to medical services and recreational facilities. It's also the perfect solution for those who want the best in memory care.

FOUR ELMS RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

Four Elms should be on your list of Thornhill area retirement homes, if you're looking for a combination of elegant surroundings and exceptional breadth of care. In a peaceful neighbourhood near Steeles and Dufferin, it takes Verve Senior Living's model of quality senior living, and combines that with a continuous care model, from independent living to memory care. You’ll never need to move if your care needs increase and couples with varying needs (especially where one partner has dementia) stay together in one place.

I love Delmanor because the staff are all friendly, take great care of the residents, and it always looks so beautiful. My grandparents live at Delmanor, and they also enjoy having fun activities.

Delmanor is a wonderful place—caring staff, beautiful environment, and a true sense of community. One of the best for seniors!

Delmanor Elgin Mills is a wonderful choice for a retirement residence in Richmond Hill, ON. I have visited this location to do my regular music program for several years. I have known many of the residents for a long time, and they are very happy there. Many are dear friends with each other. The staff consistently goes above and beyond for their residents! There is always someone close by in case someone needs anything, and the reception staff can answer any question very quickly. The residence is always clean and fresh; there is always something interesting for the residents to do in the way of programs and outings. The nursing staff are very attentive to residents. There are also beautiful and fun seasonal decorations throughout the year. You will often hear laughter in the halls, and there is always a friendly face to greet you. I recommend Delmanor Elgin Mills as a great place for any senior to live!

My Aunt currently lives at Delmanor and I had the opportunity to have an outdoor visit with her recently. I wanted to share how well she has been looked after... The entire family feels very comforted by the safety protocols which are in place and the loving care she receives every day by all departments. She can't say enough about the menu selections and how blessed she is, living at Delmanor Elgin Mills.

My grandparents have been at Delmanor the last 5 years and the warmth and care they get is everything you could look for in a retirement community! Even in this year when so much has been unprecedented my family has felt so comforted knowing Delmanor is handling the covid situation with the upmost professionalism and continue to make it an amazing living experience for my grandparents!

FOUR ELMS RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

After comparing many retirement residences for my parents, Four Elms was without question the best choice we found — the warmest, most welcoming, and the best value by far. Since my parents moved in, they have been incredibly happy with every aspect of their experience, from the delicious food and engaging activities to the friendly residents and genuinely caring staff. They wish that they had moved there years ago! The atmosphere is modern and inviting, and their apartment is beautiful and spacious. A very special mention goes to Shayna List, who truly held our hands through the entire process from beginning to end. She knew exactly how to support my mother, who was very trepidatious about the move, and did so with exceptional warmth, patience, and compassion. I can’t recommend Four Elms highly enough to anyone looking for a retirement residence. It has given our family real peace of mind.

I wanted to personally thank the staff at Four Elms in Dufferin and Steeles. In particular, Ms. Tashi Lhanzey and Ms. Shayna List. They played a pivotal role in my family, moving my dad, Noshir Mistry, to this location from another retirement residence. The location is great, with lots of activities and encouragement from the staff. Dad is in an assisted living suite and has adjusted very quickly to the new environment. I would definitely recommend exploring this location before deciding on moving family members to a retirement home.

My mother decided to go to the assisted living floor as she knew she needed more assistance. I was a caregiver for her for 2 years. The care from all the PSWs was amazing to the point that these have become her friends. She is much more active, helps getting dressed everyday, and looks so forward to the activities. She has really excelled in terms of the activity and her will to keep going. She hardly watches TV anymore as she has purpose. It's like being on a cruise ship daily...lol. I am so impressed by the care each person has. They work so hard there because it is their passion and all have so much patience. Takes special people to be caregivers. And for my personal well-being, it is a comfort to know she is being looked after and content and happy. It really does free up my time as I can visit less and know she is taken care of. Makes a big difference and gives peace of mind. Remember that senior residence is 2 fold. Care for the resident and comfort for the children of them.

I recently stayed at Four Elms as a respite. My overall stay was that of being on a cruise ship on land! The staff was very accommodating and very pleasant. The food was delicious and nutritious. The activities and entertainment were enjoyable. We even enjoyed happy hour with wine and a treat a couple of times a week. We were kept busy with games, etc. I loved this place. It’s not if I will return… but when.

My mom moved into assisted living at Four Elms in her mid-90's, having always lived independently in her own home. The attentive care and tremendous kindness she received at Four Elms, from the very first day she arrived, was second to none. Mom loved her suite, the courtyard, the meals, and ALL of the staff, from the receptionists, nurses, and PSWs to the maintenance workers. As her daughter, who was on-site multiple times throughout every week, I cannot recommend Four Elms highly enough in terms of services, support, and genuine kindness. This residence is a clean, safe, and well-managed environment with responsive and caring staff.
