Wellington West Retirement Community

On March 31 I had surgery at the Ottawa Civic Campus to remove a cancerous tumour. I live alone and required assistance following surgery. April 4 I registered with Wellington West for a 10 day residency. Wellington West have 24/7 nursing care, meal service etc. Basically extended hospital care. This service provided me total care and gave my daughter comfort knowing that I was safe and comfortable. I enjoyed my short term residency at Wellington West. Very well managed community service in the Hintonburg area of Ottawa.

I had the pleasure of a temporary stay at the Wellington West Retirement Community recently. While in respite care on their Assisted Living floor, I received great care from very professional and friendly staff. In my few months there, they took care of everything and were always quick to respond when help was needed. My only responsibility was to show up for meals, which were well balanced, tasty and in just the right portions. There was always a range of activities available and ample opportunities to mingle with other residents, if desired. The large lobby was a wonderful gathering place where I could spoil myself with a daily cappuccino and engage in pleasant conversation with other residents. For time on my own, my room was very comfortable, quiet, bright, and well appointed with TV and WiFi. I was also impressed with the overall cleanliness of the facility and the care taken by staff to keep it running smoothly. Everyone was so helpful! My recovery would have been so much more difficult without the care and attention of the fine staff at Wellington West Retirement Community. I am grateful to the team there and would gladly return for post-surgery respite care or to live full time in my later years.

I stayed in Wellington West Retirement (WWR) for a month when the floors in my home were being replaced. A one bedroom furnished unit had plenty of closet space and came with a washer/dryer, TV with cable and WiFi. Meals were delicious and always choice was provided. Staff was welcoming and residents friendly and interesting. I participated in many of the scheduled activities and especially enjoyed exercise classes. I do see WWR as the home of my future when I decide to move.

This past year I went through the difficult journey of helping my parents to decide it was time to move into a more supported environment. Belle, at Wellington West Retirement Community provided me and my parents with outstanding and very patient support throughout the process. She was absolutely lovely to deal with and very kind, caring and compassionate throughout.

After checking out several retirement homes here in Ottawa, we decided to move into the Wellington West Retirement Community. As part of our search we looked at various factors. The building being new was a selling point. We were impressed with the entry/ common area. The availability of a pool, an exercise area, a separate meeting area with comfortable seating and a large screen for presentations and movies, and separate areas throughout the facility for special activities made us feel that there would be a variety of activities for our participation. We also noted several locations on different floors for access to coffee / tea / cold drinks and nibbles. The eating area was open and airy. We ate lunch to check out the food. Pleased with our meal. This was not always the case at other retirement locations. A very important factor for us was the friendliness of the staff and residents. While at lunch, and also while touring the facility, several residents stopped to say hello and chat. We felt welcomed, even though we were not residents. We moved into Wellington West Retirement Community the beginning of January 2023. Our expectations have been met. The food is very good. There are a variety of activities. The staff and residents are friendly and we are making new friends. We fully recommend this retirement residence as a viable option.
