Testimonial

February 3rd, 2010
Thank you for all of  your support of our family through this past month with mom. Your kindness and compassion is truly appreciated. We feel so fortunate that mom lived at Roberta Place these past 2 years, as it was difficult for all of us when our father passed away 2 years ago. We feel so blessed knowing how much mom loved living at Roberta Place, as it really made her happy and truly felt like home.  Our family was constantly impressed  with the quality of ALL of the staff at Roberta Place, the meals, the care given from the Compassionate Care team and the various engaging social and recreational activities scheduled. Mom just loved living at Roberta Place and will really miss her 'second' family.  Our family will also miss the staff and residents since all of you feel like our extended family too.

Testimonial from Lois Bernaerts a resident of Roberta Place Retirement Lodge: 
I would highly recommend Roberta Place Retirement Lodge as a place to come and live. They have the most genuine, caring staff. All of their amenities are exceptional and the overall decor is lovely.  The grounds around the building are beautiful and there are walking paths and gazebos for those who like to stroll. Roberta Place Retirement Lodge is more than you would ever expect. I am very happy here!

Very recently my wife and I became tenants at your Lodge in Barrie. Prior to our move we were very apprehensive and somewhat in trauma regarding leaving our home. These fears were quickly allayed by the excellent facility we find ourselves residing in. Above all else, the staff, we could start to mention names but that would be unfair to any person we might miss. From the initial presentation to the settling in your staff have been outstanding in every respect. We consider them to be a valuable asset to your organization. Barbara and I find ourselves in a place we are proud to call home with your staff as our New Family.
