Our Perspective
How we see Parkland Ancaster
Having worked with Parkland for several years now, we’re impressed with their combination of exceptional lifestyle and amenities with a family feeling. With its breadth of lifestyles possible (apartments through memory care), Parkland Ancaster will be another Parkland retirement residence that “has it all” for Hamilton-area seniors.
Parkland offers retirement communities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario. Family members we’ve heard from have told us that their communities have “a downhome feel to them” or “a family feeling.” Parkland Ancaster will combine that with a beautiful safe, resort-like retirement community featuring luxurious amenities.
We asked residents and their families about life at Parkland Ancaster.

Verified reviews of Parkland Ancaster
What residents and their loved ones say about Parkland Ancaster in reviews.
Erinn Cudahy, family member
"Nice place. Visited my grandparents, and we had dinner."Lisa Burgess, family member
"My 90-year-old mom needed a respite stay after minor surgery over the holidays. With next to no time and being very picky, I reached out to Parkland..specifically Laurie. Their attention to detail, concerns, and kindness were amazing. She stayed for a month and was treated with respect and kindness while she had time to heal in a safe and happy environment. Her room was modern, clean, and easy to manage. She enjoyed the food and, once more mobile, went to meals and enjoyed the selections. ..."Jenn L, family member
"Parkland Ancaster is a well-designed space that thoughtfully accommodates different levels of lifestyle and care needs. During the process of moving our mum in, the communication, responsiveness, and attention we received were excellent and reassuring. Unfortunately, after she moved in, that level of communication dropped off. ... Overall, the space itself is lovely, but I’m sharing this so others can adjust expectations."Lifestyle
