Reviews of Arabella Retirement Living

Gain exclusive insight into life at Arabella Retirement Living. Comfort Life’s exclusive verified reviews and videos give you insider information from residents and their families.

Our perspective

Numerous aspects of Arabella Retirement Living in Belleville are remarkable, but the standout for us is the luxurious suites that will form the center of the lifestyle change you’ll go through here. The fully contemporary designs are spectacular, noteworthy for the wonderful views of the Lake. Belleville seniors and their families should be excited for this wonderfully conceived project.

Opened in 2020, Arabella brings together all that is excellent about contemporary senior care and retirement living. This community is built and run by a local, family-owned-and-operated company, meaning that there's a personal touch to service here and a local feel to the building. There’s a palpable commitment to quality, and to the comfort and care of Belleville area seniors.

The vision here is to create a community-centered lifestyle focused on excellence, including the finest in dining, luxurious amenities, combined with the beauty of the local scenery. Of course, there will also be care available if needed. The availability of care, tailored to your needs, is the right answer for couples where one spouse requires some personal assistance. It’s also an ideal solution for downsizing GTA seniors who want to be closer to family in eastern Ontario.

My grandma stays here, and I’ve been talking with Canveet. He’s awesome and so accommodating. I would definitely recommend to anyone.


Harpreet Kaur, visitor or friend

I met the manager of Arabella retirement home at a local event and really liked how they talked about caring for residents. We had a really good conversation, and I asked to visit.
The place felt clean, warm, and welcoming, and the staff was kind and attentive. I even met my friend’s grandparents there, and they seemed genuinely happy and well taken care of, which meant a lot to see. Overall, it feels like a safe and caring place, and I’d definitely recommend it.


Kim McKinney, visitor or friend

I was really impressed with the overall quality of the facility and experience. Just as important, it was fantastic to experience your amazing staff, all with smiling faces and looking to help wherever they could... I had several interactions with residents... All in all, it was a great event at Arabella, and thanks to the staff at Arabella.


Carys Roberts, visitor or friend

Arabella's hosting of their first Belleville Chamber mingle was above and beyond. From the food to the mixologist, no detail was overlooked! The space looked incredible, the ambiance was inviting, and everyone enjoyed themselves.


Melissa Haig, visitor or friend

A beautiful, warm and welcoming place. Friendly staff, lots of activity options, and the food is great.

I had the pleasure of touring Arabella Retirement Living today with my father, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by bright, welcoming spaces and genuinely kind staff who made us feel right at home.

The layout of the lobby is airy and inviting, setting the tone for the entire building. The abundance of amenities really stood out to us, from the salt-water hydro spa pool and fully-equipped fitness room to the cozy library and the multipurpose theatre/auditorium for resident events. It’s clear that there’s never a dull moment here.

The on-site beauty/barber salon and spa, along with the available health services and in-house physician, offer wonderful peace of mind. My father was especially delighted by the beautiful sit-down dining room, the 24-hour bistro for casual snacks and coffee, and the idea of chef-prepared meals daily.

The resident suites are bright and spacious, with lovely balconies and thoughtful touches like pocket doors that maximize the living space. We also appreciated the safety features, like key-fob access and the nurse-call system, as well as the convenience of complimentary laundry, weekly housekeeping, and transportation for outings.

The well-maintained gardens and exterior walkways were the perfect finishing touch. It’s easy to picture morning strolls and relaxing afternoons, enjoying the views. Arabella truly feels like a vibrant, supportive community where residents can live worry-free and comfortably. We left feeling excited and reassured about what the future could look like here. Five stars all the way!

Amazing facilities!


Steve Whaley, family member

We had a very nice dinner with my mother-in-law, Lise, in the very nice dining room. The staff were great, the dinner was great.


Frances de Beaumont, family member

We could not be more at peace for Nan! Thank you Kate Walker for making her feel special every day and for keeping us informed with all the pictures you send to Chris! Being away is hard but you make a difference!


Chris W, family member

Professional staff and an asset to the community. They clearly focused on the fine details when building this place. Just what Belleville needed to support the aging population. Family friend moved in and is loving their experience. Fancy meals, salt water pool, hair dresser, good friends, experiences - they care about their residents.


Dharam Tiwana, family member

Toured this place as a potential home for a relative. Really liked it. Friendly staff and clean facilities.


Rajkaran Grewal, family member

Came to check out the place with my Grandpa, loved the cozy atmosphere. The facilities look great and the Manager Maria was great to deal with. My grandpa [will be] moving in soon, it’ll be his home away from home


Dwight Brown, family member

My mother has raved about the meals every time we have spoken. Especially with her being a good cook and a rather picky eater, this is a testament to the Arabella menu and chefs. Whenever I visit her, it brings me joy to see her being so well taken care of; with all the activities offered, especially the swimming pool.


K. P., family member

My mother moved here two months ago. The entire experience and transition into retirement living has been exceptional thanks to the team at Arabella. She loves it here, raves about how good the food is whenever we talk.


Mark Hall, family member

I toured Arabella after a close family member had made a difficult decision that they needed to downsize. What a well thought out and complete facility with excellent programming already in place and fantastic views unlike any other option available in Belleville. We spoke with a couple of people that are already living there and they had great things to say about Arabella life. The staff that we met were very genuine and despite the facility being new, their experience came shining through. Top notch retirement residence and very much looking forward to moving day.


Bradley Chin, family member

My great aunt recently moved in and she’s been having a great experience. Good service, high quality rooms, and lots of activities. Great location, cannot recommend enough.


Nancy Ghuman, family member

My Grandmother loves her new home. Having her move into this new residence has given me [peace] of mind. The staff are very friendly, the food is great, she especially loves the view of the lake from her room. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury retirement living.


Carol Weese, family member

My mother has settled in and the care has exceeded expectations. I can't say enough good things about Arabella and their staff... Maria and Diana [were] amazing to work with [in] the logistics for my mother to move into Arabella. They [were] extremely patient with all of our questions and even made house calls to get the final paperwork signed given my mother's mobility issues. I was really impressed by their caring for the residents.


Jennifer Allen, family member

It’s modern and bright, with uplifting decor and colours. The suites are full of natural light, with on-trend flooring and fixtures. Mom has never looked back, and has no regrets about having made the move when she did. Covid restrictions and protocols certainly added some drama, yet I knew Mom was safer than being on her own in her condo... What I have appreciated right from the beginning is the excellent communication with all of the staff. The staff are friendly, outgoing, and always have a smile. If I need any information, I can email anyone directly. It's just been a very seamless transition from Mom living in her own condo to moving.
Mom has fully embraced the active lifestyle of the Arabella - between fitness classes and activities... She’s very happy.


Amrik G., family member

Very excited for this to open ! Sales team is very friendly and flexible, it has local owners that are very kind and caring as well. My father has a room reserved on the top floor, he can’t wait to enjoy the water views from his balcony 👍
