Gain exclusive insight into life at The Village of Winston Park. Comfort Life’s exclusive verified reviews and videos give you insider information from residents and their families.
Winston Park will revise your ideas about senior living homes. Lively, clean, spacious, friendly, caring… there are many more superlatives that could be added. Schlegel has over 50 years of experience in owning, managing, and operating seniors' housing in Ontario, and works closely with the Research Institute for Aging in Waterloo. They're at the forefront of senior care in Ontario, and their forward-thinking shines through at Winston Park.
It's a vibrant community of seniors that (like other Schlegel Villages) creates an idealized small town under one roof. Walk into Winston Park in the middle of the day, or a Saturday morning, and you'll be struck by the amount of activity and interaction among the "villagers." These people know how to live! Inside the village you'll find a general store, a restaurant, a gift shop, a library, and a gym… all of them with signage and separate entrances. Every day in the village "commons," people greet each other with smiles and a friendly 'hello.'
Suites at Winston Park are clean and modern. Hallways are wide and clean. The people are happy and friendly, because the environment engenders community and contentment. In keeping with the village theme, discrete care areas are called neighbourhoods. There's a memory care neighbourhood, as well as a long-term care building.

One of the best retirement homes in Kitchener. The staff is very supportive. They provide the best care to the residents, and everyone supports each other.
We are so happy our Mother is staying at Winston Park. The staff are professional and so friendly. The facility is perfect for her needs.
I just wanted to thank the staff at Winston Park for their assistance and sincere kindness toward my Mother during her final days in Memory Care. My Mom was cared for around the clock and when we did have to leave her side for any period of time, we knew she was in good hands. Thank you also to the palliative care nurses who helped Mom make her final transition in life.
The staff here are amazing. They take great care of my father.
A very safe place for the elderly with an excellent staff who cares for everybody who needs help and care! The meals are excellent, well-prepared, and healthy!
Excellent caring staff.
A very warm and caring place for seniors to live.
I visited the new wing. It's beautifully designed and decorated. Entering it, you really feel like you're walking in a small village. The staff are very professional and friendly. Corridors are wide and rooms are spacious and bright. I wish I could live there when it's my turn.
Truly well-run. I'm a nursing supervisor in another nursing home. I have zero complaints with Winston. I feel my mother is in a very well-run and safe retirement setting. A godsend for my family. P.S. This facility believes in diversity, something my husband and I are extremely impressed by. They walk the walk of equality and pride.
