Wintergreene Estates Retirement Residence is truly a wonderful place. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm and welcoming ambience. The residence is beautifully maintained, and there is a genuine sense of care and respect for every resident.
The staff is exceptional. They are kind, attentive, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure residents feel supported, safe, and valued. The variety of programs and activities offered is impressive and thoughtfully designed to keep residents engaged, active, and socially connected. There is always something meaningful happening, which adds so much joy and purpose to daily life.
A special mention to Robyn, the nurse, whose dedication truly stands out. Her strong collaboration with care providers and families ensures residents receive the best possible care. Her professionalism, compassion, and proactive approach make a real difference in the quality of support residents receive.
I would also like to recognize Tammy for her outstanding partnership and community engagement. Her commitment to building strong relationships within the community reflects the heart of Wintergreene Estates and enhances the experience for both residents and partners alike.
Wintergreene Estates is a place where residents are genuinely cared for, and families can feel confident knowing their loved ones are in capable and compassionate hands. Highly recommended.

I recently toured Wintergreene Estates to provide information to my mom for a future move (hopefully) and was genuinely impressed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and upbeat. The entire building was spotless. I can tell that cleanliness is clearly a top priority here.
What stood out most, though, was the people. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, greeting residents by name and with a smile. You could tell they truly care about the people living there. The residents themselves also seemed happy and engaged, and many of them stopped to chat with one another or with the staff, which really added to the warm community feel of the place.
Wintergreene Estates left me with a strong impression of a vibrant, caring, and well-run community. It's the kind of place I’d feel comfortable having my mom live at when she chooses to move.

It’s a great place to reside in especially in our latter years. Many interesting activities, friendly staff, and good food.

I have been on a tour and to two open houses at Wintergreene Estates. Every time I have been there the atmosphere has been warm and welcoming and staff and the residents have been friendly. The food at the open house events has been wonderful. After leaving I strongly felt that I could call Wintergreene home. I am not quite ready to make that decision to move yet but when I do I will be exploring my options at Wintergreene Estates!

Our experience at Wintergreene Estates was exceptional from the very beginning. The facility exceeded our expectations and the staff was wonderful. We also had the opportunity to enjoy a meal in the dining room. The food was excellent and the staff were very kind.
Jesse Bailey, family member
Wintergreene has been a wonderful place for our family as our parent has adjusted to their new phase of life. The quality of food, level of care, and knowledge that your loved one is cared for is only the beginning of what makes Wintergreene an incredible place.
It's a very difficult thing to help a senior parent come to terms with the fact that their living arrangements need to change and that they need more support in their lives. The staff that support that transition, from the first tour you take, to finalizing the move, are truly amazing people. They are kind, caring, and (perhaps most importantly) patient.
Everyone wants the best for their family, particularly as they make this transition later in life. If you're looking for the best, then this is it. Simple as that.
Jenna Bailey, family member
When looking for places for my dad to move into, atmosphere and the staff played a huge role, and Wintergreene was by far the most welcoming place we visited in Regina. The staff are incredible, which means a lot as you want your parents/family in good hands as they age. My dad also gives the food rave reviews, and anytime I’ve eaten with him it doesn’t disappoint. They also offer activities during the day, as well as scheduled outings during the week, which is great when the residents can no longer drive or don’t have a vehicle. I would strongly recommend Wintergreene to anyone looking!

Mom has lived there less than a year, but already it's clear the staff cares deeply about providing a good experience for Wintergreene's residents. The amenities are fabulous, the building well maintained and the staff couldn't be more helpful or delightful.
Bethany Slessor, visitor or friend
Wonderful place. Amazing staff! So compassionate and hard working. The residents are all lovely. My friend lives here and I’m so happy I never have to worry about her
Darlene G, visitor or friend
Yesterday we had the pleasure of a tour with Tammy and were very impressed not only with Wintergreen facilities but with Tammy. The residents were such happy positive people that we knew this was the place we want to move to.
Mike Little, family member
We moved our mother into Wintergreene Estates this past September and it has been a very positive experience for her and our family. The staff has been excellent and welcomed mom with open arms from Day One. They go well above the call of duty to make sure everything is working well. Also the meals and the various activities and entertainment have been first class. I highly recommend this place to anyone that is considering a retirement home for their loved ones.
B. Ferabbles, resident
I have not enough space here to write all the things that the staff has done for my parents (and our family). My parents have gone from independent living, to assisted living, to full care (households) over a short period. The staff has shown our family caring, courtesy, concern, friendship. Annette, Tammy, Sara, Robin, Chantelle, Cathy, Leah, Donna, Patti (I know I am forgetting people.... I'm sorry). This is the facility to be at. You and your family matter.

It was our lucky day when Mom moved into one of the households at Wintergreene Estates. The staff members, in whatever position they hold, have been so helpful and kind from the day she moved in, beginning with Annette Polasek, now the General Manager. Mom is so well taken care of in every way by the extremely competent and loving caregivers who go out of their way to make sure all her needs are met. And they always do so with a cheery upbeat manner which is so important for the wellbeing of the elderly. Mom always tells us that she knows she is in the best place and that her caregivers are wonderful. She loves her room, her view out her window, and her meals, which she says are always excellent. (She is right -- I have tasted them too!). Mom just celebrated her 106th birthday at Wintergreene with extra help from the staff who kindly set up a room for her family to celebrate her. I also have two aunts in the Assisted Living Apartments and who also sing the praises of Wintergreene. They too feel fortunate to be part of such a vital and well-run community. They appreciate all the help and friendship they experience from the staff who treat them with such respect and love, and they also enjoy all the activities and entertainment which are continually set up for all the residents to enjoy. When I visit I feel there is generally a sense of fun and enjoyment coming from both staff and residents. I am very grateful to all at Wintergreene who make the lives of my mom and aunts so comfortable and happy. It is a wonderful home for all three of them.

Can't say enough good things about [this awesome place]. Staff is so helpful, warm, friendly and compassionate - you can tell they love what they are doing. Such a relief to know that mom is in such great hands! Meals and facility are top notch as well!
