Amica Bayview Village in North York, ON
4.5

It's great. They don't give anyone the hook, they bring in the care, and they can age in place. The Amica at Bayview Gardens is a bit fancier, and they offer a higher level of luxury. I didn't realize they were even an option, so it's something to consider. But we certainly are happy with this location.

Lynde Creek Manor in Whitby, ON
5.0

Lynde Creek is very nice and has a bright, welcoming feel every time we visit. The staff is great and so far, we have had a good experience here. We are so thankful.

Richmond Hill Retirement Residence
4.2

My parents moved in for a staycation at the beginning of March. The transition was difficult for them as they had to leave their beloved home of 43 years. A couple of weeks later, the home was on lockdown due to the Pandemic. The staff at RHRH have been so helpful and accommodating with my parents. I cannot thank all the staff members enough for taking such great care of my parents and ensuring their daily needs are being met while keeping all the residents safe. The residents are so friendly and welcomed my parents into their community with open arms. We definitely made the right choice in choosing RHRH as their new home. Thank You for taking such great care of our parents!
