The Shores of Port Credit - Verve Senior Living vs. Parkland on the Glen

THE SHORES OF PORT CREDIT - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

This still-very-new community benefits from the experience and expertise of one of the leading senior care companies in Canada, Verve Senior Living. Expect the very best in senior living here, in a cozy community on the shores of Lake Ontario, nestled in Mississauga. A full continuum of care, from independent living to memory care makes it a worthy destination for senior couples with different care needs.

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.

I want to thank Katherine Mayers and her team for a wonderful tour. What a great building, offering all levels of care, and the food is amazing.

Our family had a tremendous customer-service experience with Aysha and the rest of the team at The Shores. Aysha has been extremely patient & kind as our Mother struggled to decide where to move. In the end, Mom decided she wants to stay in Etobicoke, and we hope she will land somewhere equally warm & welcoming.

My mother and I went for a tour recently at Port Credit Shores, and we absolutely loved it! The facility itself is very well kept with modern yet elegant touches throughout. As we walked through the recreational areas, I almost felt as though I was at an all-inclusive high-end resort! Residents seemed refreshed, happy, and at ease. Those we had an opportunity to speak with had only great things to say. The several activities offered allow residents to live an active lifestyle and nurture relationships. Katherine, who is the Community Relations Manager we had the pleasure of dealing with, was very informative and helpful. Residents seemed to gravitate toward her warm energy and positive presence. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly consider this home for my parents!

Moving into the apartments was quick and easy. The staff was very helpful and courteous. I'm all settled and comfortable here.

Wow, what an incredible place to have your loved one live! I was looking for my mom and was so impressed with Shores! It was absolutely beautiful, but more importantly, every person I came into contact with were amazing. In particular, Bradley was a tremendous help to me in providing answers to all my questions and really going above and beyond to help me with my decision. You can tell he is a genuine person who really cares about helping you find the best fit for your loved one. Ultimately, I decided on a place closer to mine and my sister’s homes that may fit her needs better in the future, but it was such a difficult decision! Thank you, Bradley, and every other gem I came into contact with at Shores of Port Credit!

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.
