Recent reviews of Independent Living in Melbourne, ON
Ashwood Manor in London, ON
4.4

They are very short staffed and don't think that the help (para meds) that comes in does their job entirely all the time. Seem to want to rush residents so they can get in and out. Not all of them. There good is not the best at times as I'm there quite a bit and have heard many complaints about food. Maybe because they have different cooks t times and they do there own thing instead of setting up guidelines to be followed, it always right food for right person based on there personal diets.

The process from showing to signing up and moving in to Aimca was very smooth for mom. Staff are very friendly and helpful and all the residents we meet are very happy and welcomed mom into the group. By all accounts, mom feels this has even an excellent move.
