Our Perspective
How we see The Dunfield Retirement Residence
The Dunfield is ideal for residents of the city who want to stay close to the heart of the city, or to family in the downtown core. You'll find happy new neighbours and friends at The Dunfield. In a city full of exceptional seniors' residences, the Dunfield rises higher and remains a benchmark in high-quality senior living in Downtown Toronto.
From its inception, The Dunfield has proposed to reach new heights in Toronto retirement living. In the years since, it has succeeded remarkably well, not only in its well-appointed facilities but in the community it's created inside. It's in a prime location, near the corner of Yonge and Eglinton, matched by first-rate amenities and features, including a spa, movie theatre, wellness centre and so much more.
One of the best things about The Dunfield is the sense of community created by shared activities both inside and out. Residents take day trips to the theatre, casino, shopping, and art galleries. In addition, a big part of life here is the collection of in-house activities: a lecture series with local authors, visiting chefs, art classes, and so much more. This is one of several exceptional Toronto retirement residences that improves the health and well-being of members, beginning the moment they walk in the door.

What residents and their loved ones say about The Dunfield Retirement Residence in reviews.
Fraser Holman, resident
"We're thoroughly enjoying living at The Dunfield, coming up to our 2-year mark. Outstanding staff respond promptly to every need and are uniformly in good spirits. Delicious meals with very flexible arrangements; they make it very easy to host guests. Weekly housekeeping. Extensive activities program with trips interspersed into a regular schedule of both active and relaxing options. Interesting group of residents with whom to share life. Residents may live as independently as they choose. Great..."Joan Hudson, resident
"I spent nine months on the assisted living floor and spent some very happy times there. The nursing staff went out of their way to assist me with any need necessary; even finding a snack or drink in the wee small hours! The staff think of us as family and show much love and laughter. Every day, residents are brought out into the lounge, and during the warm days, those who would like are taken out to the garden to enjoy a little fresh air. There is a theatre on the second floor that has movies..."Bruce McCallum, resident
"I chose to come to Dunfield after a careful search. I have been here 6 months now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The staff is terrific without exception. If food quality is important to you, you will not be disappointed. A wide variety of food is always available because there are two dining choices: The Bistro or the Dining Room. And finally, there is always something going on to keep your mind occupied and your body fit. It’s a busy, beautiful place and that suits me just fine."Lifestyle
