Southbrook Retirement Community in Brampton, ON
4.5 / 5.0

Staff is freindly, facility is clean. Price is comperable or better than other homes I toured. Grounds are well kept. Monthly events calendar, with in house salon, laundry room, chapel, library etc. The facility is a good size without over crowding. The only complaint I hear from my mother and some others is the food is not so great, but served by pleasant staff and in a beautiful dining room.
