Stouffville Creek brings peace of mind to everyone involved, to seniors who move in here and their family members. That's one of the great benefits of a community like this one: the stress-reduction for everyone, knowing how well you are looked after every day. People who move here improve in health and—perhaps more importantly—in their outlook on life, thanks to the caring community.

My father recently decided, after a 30-day trial, that he felt comfortable living at the Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence. He really enjoys the amazing meals, his 3 tablemates, the friendly staff, and the flexibility of being able to have breakfast in his room each morning. We recently celebrated my parents’ 69th anniversary in the dining hall, and the staff went the second mile decorating with a personalized Happy Anniversary sign, table decorations, and a delicious meal. A special thank you to Grace, Liselle, and Sangeetha, who have given special attention and shown care and flexibility to help my dad during this important time of adaptation. Thank you to all the staff at Stouffville Creek.

Kind staff, super clean, and a great location! Residents and staff at Stouffville Creek are kind and welcoming. The staff here clearly care about the residents and get to know them on a personal level, which you don't see at every retirement home. The entire place is very clean and well-maintained. Rooms are finished nicely and are very cozy. The location is great! It's walking distance to very cute cafes, shopping, and a GO train station, so you get the benefits of being near Toronto without any of the downsides. Also makes it easy for family in the city to visit. Overall, it's honestly so much nicer than some other retirement homes, and you just feel the staff's positive energy as soon as you step inside.

Based on my tour, this seemed like a lovely, clean, well-maintained facility with great, welcoming staff and residents. I would be happy to stay in a place like this (some years down the road).

My father recently stayed at the Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence for a 2-week respite. He said that the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food was great, and he really enjoyed participating in all of the activities. A special thank you goes out to Rae for assisting my dad during his stay!

From the very first visit, we knew Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence was the right choice. The staff made us feel instantly welcomed, and it was clear they are deeply committed to providing the best care possible. The residence itself is beautiful, with well-designed, comfortable spaces that provide a perfect blend of privacy and community. What truly makes Stouffville Creek stand out is the incredible level of personalized care. The team goes above and beyond to ensure every resident’s well-being, and it’s evident in the happiness and comfort of those living there. The variety of activities keeps residents engaged, whether it’s arts and crafts, fitness classes, or social events that bring everyone together. The meals are always delicious, with thoughtful attention to dietary needs and preferences. The residence’s dedication to creating a vibrant, nurturing environment where everyone feels like family makes Stouffville Creek a special place to call home. If you're looking for a place where your loved one will thrive and receive top-notch care, we highly recommend Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence.

I recently stayed at the RHRR following hip replacement surgery. I can’t speak highly enough about the care and attention I received while there. All the support staff, PSWs, and nurses were so kind and helpful. Thank you all for the great experience! It was really appreciated especially at a time when I really needed it.

Truly first-class. My dad is incredibly stubborn, and changing residences has been very challenging for him. Anna went above and beyond to make it work….she even offered to bring dinner to our home just to have a conversation with him. Pam, Wendy, and the entire staff are absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Without a doubt, an exceptional place for seniors in every way.

After researching literally dozens of assisted care facilities in Richmond Hill and the surrounding cities, based on many factors (cost, good reviews, good location, amenities offered, etc.) we ended up choosing the Richmond Hill Retirement Residence for my sister. She has been extremely satisfied since she moved in a few weeks ago. The staff has been amazing, the food has been excellent, the level of care has been top-notch, the residents there are genuinely happy, and the activities offered have been great. I would strongly recommend Richmond Hill Retirement Residence to anyone considering moving into an assisted care facility.

I stayed in one of the respite rooms after my knee replacement surgery. Every staff member I encountered, PSW, Nurse, Office Staff and Receptionist were focused on offering you the best support they could. While physiotherapy was up to you the staff supported every other aspect of your recovery. The meals were very good and I chose to have the meals delivered to my room as I could not bend my knee. I brought a bed table with me so that I could sit up in bed to eat. The PSW also assisted with showering and getting dressed. The nurse checked in twice daily which was comforting to me. There was also a wound nurse provided by the hospital to change the bandages every other day. In addition, you are given an alert fob to wear, which you can press at any time to receive help. so you are really never far from help. The respite room itself is very clean and comfortable however the bed is not a hospital bed so you may want to bring a wedge so you can sit up comfortably and stretch your leg out. The bed can also be used to perform the necessary exercises which is important. There is also seating with a couch, a small kitchenette, and a table so you are not confined to just the bed. There are nice long hallways and other areas which can be used for the walking exercise. I want to thank the staff for providing the care I needed during the first 2 weeks of my recovery.

I was looking for a senior care home and I came across Richmond Hill Retirement Home via Google. Got in touch with Anna and Helen, and they have been extremely helpful in answering all the questions we threw at them. The site visit was very friendly and informative, not to mention the accommodation they are willing to make to meet our needs! Easily the best retirement home in the area especially with the rate they are offering!
