The Jacob Senior Living

Oct 18th, 2022

My dad moved into The Jacob last September, he has loved it since day 1. All of the staff; meeting new people; the great food, and movie nights have contributed to his enjoyment, and we feel he has just thrived since moving in. Thanks to everyone at The Jacob for making the transition so easy for him and his family!

Michele & Peter Lambie Review: Upon entering "The Jacob", my husband and my first impression was --- "Is this a Cruise Ship??!! A beautiful spacious foyer with a winding staircase, and water fountain, that bursts with vibrant colours - which perfectly mirrors and describes The Jacob staff who always greet you with a warm welcoming smile. Magnificent meals and homemade goodies a la Chef Larry and team, that rivals 'The Keg's menus and celebrates varied cultural cuisines and holiday themes. We love that The Jacob encourages a sense of community and collaborative spirit, through their monthly 'Town Hall' meetings for discussions and planning purposes. Constant communication to families by Candise Nicholson, Executive Director (aka 'Cruise Ship Director') is Amazing and so appreciative by providing thoughtful reassurances and up to date information to families. The Jacob gives us peace of mind and confidence in knowing that my Mom has access to medical staff should she require assistance. We feel that The Jacob goes above and beyond to ensure their residents are safe and healthy - physically, socially and mentally. The weekly social activities are always creative (e.g. painting, gardening, seated Zoomba, euchre, ladder golf, Golden Retriever visits, and of course Candise' very own Saint Bernard puppy comes too), and themes where even the staff participate right down to the meal menus. My Mom has enjoyed playing the piano, and participated in outdoor fun with her friends, including parking lot shows with classic cars, Alpacas/donkeys/goats and The Jacob Tour Bus that was magically transformed into an Ice Cream truck. Whenever possible, The Jacob brings in musical entertainment, welcomes community partnerships through learning activities and presentations, including the Fleming Library who even provide bags of books that they personally select for the residents based upon their favourite authors and interests. We feel so very blessed that my Mom chose to live at The Jacob, which makes her feel at home because of the friendships that she has developed, and their staff who have truly become an extension of our family. My husband and my only request to The Jacob is ---- Please reserve a room for us in the future!

A wonderful testimonial provided by resident Jean Hannah! "I moved into The Jacob as soon as it opened, and I have found a true home here. The staff are amazing. They are so dedicated and go the second mile in helping you and making you feel at home. The building itself, is absolutely stunning, so bright and colourful. It is very cheerful!! There is easy access to everything. The meals are exceptional, both tasty and healthy. The chef and his team can cater to any allergies or health concerns you have. The program directors go out of their way to make sure there are fun and challenging programs for us to try! One of the best things about being here, that my family knows I am safe and well looked after, and they don't need to worry. Special thanks to Candise, Jill, Larry, Jackie, Dan, Maddie and Christina and all the staff for all the hard work they do to make this place so special for us. I am so thankful to be here in this wonderful place! I highly recommend it to anyone." ~Jean Hannah~
