Like many others, we did our due diligence in search of a place for Mom to retire! When we came across White Cliffe Terrace, our search ended....We had found our place! So kind, so caring, and so professional on every level. We moved Mom in, this past year, and she is so comfortable and loved by all. We know and have confidence that when we are not around, she is well cared for! Thank you to all! We are all so impressed!

I'm impressed in many ways with this seniors' residence. It's like a cruise ship, except it has a lovely backyard. What's important is our family member likes it. The staff is great and the dining room experience is also very good.

WhiteCliffe Retirement Residence ALWAYS goes above and beyond not just for my dad but for our family as well! They took my dad in when we had a house fire. The staff are absolutely amazing! We are back in our house now and my dad is home with us. The manager Anne, still asks how my dad is doing. Dad has Alzheimers and sometimes he wanders. If he gets lost, he mentions Whitecliffe and the person he talks to calls Anne and she calls me right away. Sometimes, dad even walks back to Whitecliffe and they alway accept him with open arms. Whitecliffe is an amazing place for your loved one.

My mother-in-law just moved into White Cliffe Terrace in Clarington. We searched for over a year for a suitable retirement home for her and decided this was a perfect fit. The staff has went over and beyond to maker feel at home and comfortable in her new surroundings. It has a beautiful dining room and the food is excellent. The ladies she sits with have made her feel at home. The bistro has snacks and coffee available 24-7. We feel she has made a good choice and highly recommend WhiteCliffe. Thank you to all the staff.

My mom decided she was ready to move into retirement living. After an extensive tour of other facilities in the Oshawa, Clarington area, we all agreed White Cliffe would be best for her. I am happy to report she loves it here. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my mom is comfortable, entertained and fed an excellent selection and variety of meals. They provide a monthly calendar of activities for the residents and my mom is engaged in as many as she can. White Cliffe worked with us to accommodate her specified move in date and she was lucky enough to move in to a newly, fully renovated unit. She has made several new friends, and continues to entertain her family and longtime friends as usual in her lovely new home. I would highly recommend this residence for you or your loved one.

I was seeking respite care for a loved one for two weeks... What a happy, welcoming environment. The staff and residents were happy, and the atmosphere was energizing... I highly recommend this facility. Thank you Daniela!

I recently completed a placement at Amica Pickering and was thoroughly impressed by the positive and supportive environment. From the moment I stepped in, I noticed the exceptional cleanliness of the facility. It's clear that maintaining a hygienic and comfortable space for residents is a top priority. What truly stood out was the incredible camaraderie among the staff. The team works seamlessly together, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. It was evident that they have a strong sense of community and are dedicated to providing the best possible care. The residents are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I observed staff interacting with them in a patient, kind, and attentive manner, fostering a sense of belonging and well-being. It was heartwarming to see the genuine connections formed. Furthermore, I was impressed by how efficiently and effectively problems were addressed. Any concerns or issues that arose were handled promptly and with a solution-oriented approach. This proactive problem-solving contributed to a smooth and positive experience for both residents and staff. Overall, my time at Amica Pickering was incredibly rewarding. I highly recommend this retirement home to anyone seeking a safe, clean, and caring environment for their loved ones. The dedication of the staff, combined with the excellent facilities, makes it a truly exceptional place.

My parents are quite happy there.... On average, the employees are very good with my parents.

Amazing, clean place, with a feels-like-home experience for retired citizens.

If you like a large residence with extensive amenities or a highly active, resort-style retirement lifestyle may find another setting more aligned with their expectations. On the other hand, if you need memory care or long-term care you may find another community suited better to your needs. White Cliffe Terrace is best suited to seniors who benefit from a supportive care environment and appreciate a smaller community with attentive staff and personalized support.
