Our Mother 94 and Dad 96 have been residing at the Douglas J Rapelje Lodge in Welland for the past 14 months. They live together in the Veterans suite, Pod # 5, This facility employees 100 % loving and caring staff. These fine women and men treat our parents as if they were their own. The home is very clean and bright with large windows and flowers on the window sills. A lovely private garden next to the dining room is open for residents to visit and enjoy. The kitchen prepares excellent home stile meals 3 times per day. The home has RN staff and assistant staff 24 hrs. per day and their Doctor visits once per week. The nursing care in this home is second to none. The administrative staff are also first class in all departments. We are truly grateful to the Provincial and Regional Government for providing us with this very well run seniors facility in Welland.
