A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
The Roxborough Retirement Residence - Verve Senior Living vs. Stouffville Creek Retirement Residence - Verve Senior Living

THE ROXBOROUGH RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

Seniors and family members agree that the Roxborough renews people's enjoyment of life. That begins with the reinvigoration of moving into a clean, still-new place—but that’s deepened by the day-to-day environment here. It's a revelation to people how great life can be in a place where they’re surrounded by fellow seniors and service-minded staff.

STOUFFVILLE CREEK RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

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.

THE ROXBOROUGH RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

My wife Angela and I moved into the Roxborough in Dec 2023. We are an active couple and weren’t sure if this was right for us. However, the staff and residents welcomed us warmly, and we have made a lot of friends here. Activities are many and far-reaching, something for everyone. Some activities include social events, special outings, live entertainment, movies, and of course, Bingo…all keep you as busy as you like or not. We have travelled extensively and have eaten in some outstanding venues, but I have to say the food at the Roxborough rivals any of them. The meals are exceptional, ingredients are fresh (many herbs are grown in our own garden), everything is well prepared, tasty, and varied. The facility itself is so comfortable and well-maintained, and boasts a peaceful and beautiful courtyard, and underground parking is a wonderful addition, especially in the winter. Everyone from the wait staff in the restaurant, maintenance to housekeeping, to life enrichment…the staff are marvellous. We recommend the Roxborough highly!

I was very fortunate to have such a positive experience during my rehab at The Roxborough in April of this year. It is spear headed by Melanie. Melanie was in contact with me from setting the initial meeting to explain what was offered and allowed me to put my possessions in early to accommodate my surgery schedule. The staff on a whole were also very polite as was my case with the night attendants. Bringing more ice at night and adding a couple of cookies to tide me over. I would highly recommend The Roxborough for anyone's recuperation.

My wife Joyce and I moved into the Roxy in August and couldn't be more satisfied. Where does one start ? The staff are without exception - Fabulous ! The food is 5 star all the way as at each meal you always get options; is always the freshest imaginable; always served on linen table cloths; is changed after each person is finished dining and includes the nicest wait staff possible. Add to this, you can dine on your schedule ( with -in certain hours ) and choose to sit with new friends each meal OR sit at the same table with the same friends. Your choice. What could be better ?

I highly recommend the Roxborough for anyone considering retirement options for themselves or their loved ones. Dianne at the front desk is so friendly and always ready to help. Carrie, their Health & Wellness Manager goes above and beyond to coordinate services and reassess care plans as needs evolve. The building itself is well-maintained, cozy and chic. They offer a wide range of activities and events to keep residents actively engaged in the community. Safety features across the building provide peace of mind, allowing residents to live as independently as possible. My favourite feature was their large beautiful terrace. It has lots of space to walk around and raised garden beds for those who aren't ready to give up their backyards just yet.

When we were searching for a retirement residence for Willy, my mother-in-law, The Roxborough wasn't even on our radar. But by chance we took a tour of this Newmarket residence, right across the street from Southlake Hospital, and were immediately impressed by its cozy atmosphere, the warmth and kindness of its staff, and most importantly, the smiles we saw among many of The Roxborough's residents. This was an encouraging sign. Since then, after moving Willy into a suite facing a beautiful courtyard, we've been incredibly heartened by the care Willy has received in her new home. As a 97 year old, recently widowed lady who had been a social butterfly throughout her life, Willy has found a new community supported by caring professionals who seem to have made it their mission to bring comfort and security to its residents in their golden years.

STOUFFVILLE CREEK RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

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.
