Home Nursing

I worked there 4 years ago and was let go for speaking out in Facebook. This place when I was there was infested with bedbugs, cockroaches,and body lice. The kitchen staff denied second helping to they could bring food home. The cook would taste test the food with the same spoon she would serve with. No one would address the situation and I believe 2 people died due to neglect of care.

Crazy

PLEASE DO NOT PLACE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE! My mother was placed here without me viewing it and not meeting the owners as I moved out west. ( the hospital waited until I left the province) The previous owners would never return a phone call. I called Kathy 30 times over a 2 year period to get an update on my mother's income taxes which they took over without my consent, still no phone call back. I also would call to get an update on my mother's health and no response. All I got was the run around from the staff working in the home and by Kathy's assistant. My mother's physical health deteriorated very quickly when placed here. She stopped walking and her only activity became sleeping for hours on end. I asked that they would implement omega 3's into her regime and they said they could not. Well my mother has died on their clock. She was not feeling well before her heart attack and they still DID NOT contact me to inform me of this. This is just a complete money grab. $1500 a month per bed, with approx 12 residents. That's $18,000 per month!! $216,000 a year! The money clearly does not go into the building itself. It reeks of urine and is infested with bedbugs. The rooms are filthy and unfit for rats to live here. The people and the city that allow this to happen is beyond me. Please don't place your loved one here, they do not care about the residents.

It's a halfway house for schizophrenics who have been in jail and can be violent. Yet for some reason the people who dwell here are allowed to possess swords.

WORKED THERE A LONG TIME AGO. STUDENT PLACEMENT. LOVED IT!!! CLEAN! GREAT CARE. GREAT ACTIVATION PROGRAMS. STELLAR PLACE TO LIVE. :)

I am the co-owner of the Retirement Home. I am disappointed that Deb Gray decided to write such a disparaging review without explaining what really happened. She was very difficult to deal with and when one is in business long enough you will run into people that want to be unfair and slander others. I think she was upset because she didn't want to pay for what was owed under the Landlord and Tenant Act which applies to all of us in Ontario. I guess she wanted to be exempt from the law and treat our place like a motel so she wouldn't have to pay for something she was clearly explained and committed to. Luckily we have a multitude of amazing references from current and past families. If you give us a call or drop us a note we can provide copies of them to you.

My family has been using the caregivers from Thistle creek for the past year. Highly recommend their services, very accommodating, and willing to work with our unique circumstances.
