A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Crown Ridge Retirement Residence vs. The Riverine

CROWN RIDGE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

This community is ideal for Belleville-Trenton seniors (and others in Quinte West) who want a place close to home, but also a destination for seniors from the GTA who want to settle further out of Toronto closer to family east of the city. You've worked hard all your life to be successful, now it's time to treat yourself to luxury in a comfortable setting.

THE RIVERINE

This care home is ideal for seniors from the Greater Napanee area, or for seniors from out of the area with family near here. No matter where you are coming from, you will feel at home in the beautifully-appointed interiors here. Easy access to the 401 makes it easy for family from anywhere east of Toronto to make a visit. It's the perfect place to retire into an easy-going community of like-minded people, who want to leave the cooking and cleaning to someone else.

CROWN RIDGE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

All of the staff were wonderful with my Mom. They were so patient and kind to her, especially during her last weeks. I believe there are angels working there. Thank you for all you do every day.

I want to personally thank the whole team at Crown Ridge Nursing Home team for outstanding care for my Mom, Linda. She was fond of many of the team: Nancy, Gail, Greg, Erik, Katie, Ashley, Suzanne, Clarence, Chris, Shanise, Jaspreet, Alfred, and many others that I may have forgotten. Thank you as well! You are angels!

I would like to thank the entire team at Crown Ridge Trenton for their outstanding care and compassion for my mom, Linda, during her stay. We could see and feel the level of elevated care and attention; she truly became attached to many workers and nurses. We will be eternally grateful for making her time there as comfortable as possible. A special thanks to: Nancy, Gail, Greg, Meaghan, Jaspreet, Katie, Katherine, Susanne, Ashley, Shanice, Eric, Alfred, and Clarence….if I missed someone, please know we are so very grateful to you as well! Thank you!

I’ve learned that "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This quote sums up my 7 year journey with CR and is the foundation for this testimony. With no personal experience in retirement or LTC homes, 2017 brought both my parents to CR. It was quite overwhelming in every aspect. If you ask me what stood out the most in choosing CR, I honestly would say I don’t remember, but we all “felt it”. Even with my mom’s dementia, she, using her Dutch heritage, was able to summarize perfectly what she felt at CR…it was “GEZELLIG” which is the ultimate compliment as it means cozy, comfortable, homey, easy…all priceless adjectives that supported the CR mission statement. Along with that, the exemplary level of care continues to this day with a very dear friend of mine. The journey is different, but we both “feel” the ongoing blessings of life at CR. Words cannot express how grateful I am for the love, care, compassion & friendships experienced with the exceptional staff and CR family. God bless you all!

Looks like a very nice and well run retirement home. My brother in law is staying there and is treated very well. Great staff.

THE RIVERINE

2010, in her 90th year, my Mother joined her sister, 5 years her senior, at the Riverine. Both were very hesitant to leave homes on the Napanee area farms where they raised their families; but the widows who had worked & travelled together in their senior years, happily re-united in this clean, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Later on, following many visits, 2 ‘younger’ sisters, also widowed, joined them from suburban Kingston. For several years, the 4 siblings enjoyed many crafts, activities, and outings organized by Riverine staff. Now Mom & her older sister have moved on. They’re missed, but our families will forever appreciate the kind attention Christine, her admin. team, and all nurses & staff wrapped around them during their life in this warm, welcoming community. We learned, as they helped Mom (and us) through difficult changes: giving up licence & car, moving from her apartment to a full-care room, and relying on a walker, that we had made a wise choice for our Mom.

My Dad is here, they do a great job!

With a variety of regular entertainment geared to people like me, my wonderful new friends here, and these lovely surroundings to relax in, I'm never lonely.

Words can't describe how wonderful life at The Riverine actually is.

The meals are excellent. The accommodations are superb.
