28 Independent Living near Facilities Munster, ON. Page 2

My Mom is 89 years old and lived in her apartment until early this year. She was doing well but it was obvious that she needed not only some care but company throughout her day. She had family visits but we felt she needed more activities and personal contacts. She was not at all interested in looking at any retirement residences and very reluctantly visited Governor's Walk Retirement Residence with her Granddaughter. From the moment she pulled up to the building, her eyes lit up and she showed interest in viewing the residence. She said that as soon as she walked through the front door and was greeted, she felt at home and comfortable. She has lived there 9 months and has nothing but positive reflections on each day. She likes all the people who live there and all the people who attend to everyone's needs throughout the day. The management staff is professional and always helpful to her and to us as family members who make requests or ask for information. Everyone that helps Mom keep her room tidy, who make her delicious meals every day, who provide social activities, who provide medical and nursing assistance go above and beyond to make her feel at home. We could not be more pleased with Governor's Walk or with A Place for Mom who helped us find her new home. My Mom is very happy there and I hope for years to come!

A Place for Mum (read Me) arranged appointments with several Retirement Residences. Ravines Seniors' Suites appealed to me on my first visit. It has a large comfortable lobby with understated elegance. I returned to show my sister around and met a resident who asked if we needed help. She invited us for roast beef dinner. Friendliness, check! I liked the variety of apartments and was impressed by the ensuite washer and dryer, the refrigerator and the cupboard space. Value, check! I came back with my cats for a trial stay, and it took only a few days to realize I wanted to live here. The residents and staff are welcoming and everyone called me by name from the first day. The meals are quite good, with enough variety to keep me happy. There are group activities, exercise classes, aquafit, outings, and I feel valued here. Activities, check! The Seniors' Suites offers independent living, with no care services. The Retirement Residence next door has assisted living with care services. I've been here for almost three months and I'm extremely satisfied with my new home.

We chose Crystal View Lodge because when we toured my mom was immediately taken with the apartment itself. She is in a 1 bedroom apartment and It is a good size, she is very happy with it. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.
