You may have the opportunity to see a Canadian Railway train when you visit the elders, but you will need to reserve time.

Great Care Home! Friendly staffs. Love the newly build building for the residences. Guess the donation was worth it to see something really happen for their needs and to live in a home sweet home in peace and harmony.

Horrible upper management. The care aids and nurses do what they can with what they are provided.

Insensitive, uncaring and completely neglectful. Your loved one will not be cared properly and you will likely witness many other seniors die in the time you visit. Completely unorganized in rules and regulations. Do not send your loved one here.
