She is always clean, well dressed, she is a also a vegetarian. Residence cook always maikes her favourite foods. Joyce Bilbao

My Dad was taken here after private care was becoming far too expensive to maintain. Previously had him in a private Care facility that was double the cost. Father been here for now for a few months. I was initially concerned that the care would not be up to standards the private one afforded. Boy was I wrong. The care here at Eatonville on my Dads floor is frankly magnitudes better than the private care, not even taking into account the cost. Was talking to my sister days ago and we were talking how good the care he is receiving and only we had known we would have moved him over years ago.

Wonderful home care for seniors in Etobicoke, especially for care after a stroke. Highly recommended.

Being newly married, my new husband and I (and our kitty Waifer) came back from a trip and decided we did not want to live in his house or my apartment anymore. He said to me I know where we are going to live - it is on Eglington and I've watched it being built from the bottom up, it's Scarlett Heights Retirement Residence. We arrived, met with the sales team and they showed us the available units. We chose one - a one bedroom overlooking Buttonwood Park, kind of just like living in the country in the summer time, and I’ve been here ever since (almost 11 years now)! I have found that the working staff are just the greatest people, our meals (like all places, have a few things to grumble about) but the beautiful a la carte selection to choose from makes up for thar. The rooms are kept very clean and I don't have to shop. We have a bus on hand though that will take you on outings and on shopping trips in the community too. I have met many dear friends here who we share day to day life with including attending many of the programs offered. There are many, many programs to choose from including cards, exercises, church services, educational talks and lectures, group entertainment, outings and programs with the local community. We also have a therapy pool which many places don't have. And we have a Tuck Shop that is open twice a week for everyday items and it is an excellent resource for those who cannot get out into the community. I can't speak highly enough either of the nursing care we have here either - there is always someone available to assist. Overall, I feel very secure, the diet is perfect (because there is choice!), there is no noise from my room (solitude), and being here almost 11 years, I have loved every minute of living at Scarlett Heights.

Trying to get a hold of anyone but have no mailbox number, Duuuu

Great retirement home. Staff are all very nice and friendly.

Though I’m not of retirement age yet, I have family members under the careful, attentive and watchful care of the staff at Shorthills Villa retirement centre and I’m not sure if you can get a better value or a better experience for a loved one. Whether my uncle Lou needed an air conditioning unit, a fresh pillow or a cold glass of ginger-ale (his favourite), they were ready and available to meet and exceed every request with a warm, glowing smile on their face.

Absolutely horrible place to work and put your loved ones. If you are new in the healthcare field perhaps try another home. Staff is overburdened and management is horrible.

Excellent staff that really care about their residents
