Conestoga Lodge in Kitchener, ON
5.0

Staff has been very friendly with my dad. Staff and residents smile often. They seem happy and pleased to be there. The General Manager has spent many years working in this establishment and knows how to make everyone feel important and welcome. The nurses take interest in his daily life and call me when required. Dad is much happier and enjoying times spent with other residents. He eats more variety of food and brags about number of choices available. Overall, Conestoga Lodge has provided the family with a safe, secure home for our dad at this stage in his life.
