Also the staff are very kind and caring and look out for the residents' needs (e.g. special diets that require pre-ordering a special meal). However, it barely gets one star for the quality of the food. Just prior to the start of the Covid pandemic, I would have rated the food at 5 stars but now it barely rates one star. Even during the pandemic the kitchen did an outstanding job while residents were confined to their rooms. However, since 2021 things have gone downhill. The food is not well cooked - usually overdone, hard to chew, burnt. Tasteless frozen vegetables, even when these vegetables are available fresh in season. There is too much fast food with too much batter. The food often looks unappetizing. I think part of the problem is a shortage of experienced cooks and servers. The servers often cannot even identify the dishes they are serving to the residents - this is both because the food looks unappetizing and unidenfiable and also because not enough training has been given to the servers. The residents have brought these issues up to management at the monthly meetings but nothing seems to change, hence this post. If you cannot find the kitchen staff, pehaps it is time to bring in caterers on a weekly or twice weekly basis.

I would recommend Stillwater Creek Retirement Community as a great acomodation for seniors in Bells…read moreCorners. My mother-in-law was there for about 10 years after having heart surgery which left her with disabilities that left her unable to live on her own - this was at the age of 80. She was there for about 10 years, during which time she was quite content with the care and the food provided. When her medical situation worsened, she went from independent, to assisted living care. Until her passing, we were glad that she was in a 'community' where care was increased as needed. Presently, my husband, who suffered a stroke, is in the same place, and again, I am glad that he is in a place where he is well cared for, and the staff are very attentive to his needs.

The lobby boasts a grand piano, large areas with comfortable chairs and couches for reading and a computer area for internet access. The dining room is just off to the side and the residents tell me that the cooking is fantastic. Descend the grand staircase to the lower level, or use the elevator and you will find a health centre, where there are doctors offices, a vast recreation room for organized activities or games at your leisure, the chapel, the library (with a large collection of books for your literary pleasure), a fitness room and a salon. There is also a cafe and bar, for snacks or drinks between meals and a theatre for afternoon movies. With all the amenities, you will never have to leave (or want to)! I have had the pleasure to use space in the manor to hold occasional classes and recitals for my young piano students, much to the delight of those who live here on a full-time basis. The staff have always been very welcoming and helpful. I can see that they truly love their jobs. Living spaces are apartment-style, offering independence and comfort, in the security of the manor. Several different plans are available. Check it out--the staff here always make you feel welcome!

The Revera Stittsville Villa and Manor is a retirement residence that provides independent living…read moreand supportive living. Not assisted living or long-term care. I will explain these terms further. I did not realize that there were different levels of care in different retirement residences until I had a loved one move into one of them, but of course it makes once you think about it...but I guess I never really thought about it. The Manor side of the residence is completely independent living. Residents come and go as they please and fend for themselves. It's like living in a regular apartment but with other elderly people as your neighbours, and with the option of going over to the Villa side and having all your meals in the dining room for an additional fee (i.e. you don't have to cook at all if you don't want to). The Villa offers supportive living. Villa residents have a personal alarm they can wear around their necks and if they need help they can press it and staff will come. There is also an emergency pull cord in the bathrooms for the same purpose. Villa residents are automatically registered for the meal plan and if they don't come down for their meals, staff go and check up on them. Villa residents and any visitors to the Villa also have to sign in and out at the front desk. Villa residents can get additional supports (for an additional fee) such as laundry services, help bathing/showering, medication administration, etc. However, residents must more or less be able to perform their own activities of daily living. If someone cannot get out of bed themselves, go to the bathroom themselves, or are otherwise dependant on others for basic needs then they require assisted living or long-term care, which is beyond the capabilities of this retirement residence. The Manor and the Villa are in separate buildings but they are connected by a door that requires an access code. The Villa has nursing staff 24/7 and has a generator in the event of a power outage. The Manor does not. There are a lot of activities offered such as Bingo, exercise classes, music concerts, arts and crafts, excursions via the Revera bus to local stores, etc. and they are open to residents from both sides. The common areas are decorated with the seasons/holidays. Pumpkins around fall/Halloween, hearts around Valentine's Day, etc. Residents can buy meal tickets for visitors to eat in the dining room with them. Residents can also rent out rooms to hold family parties/get-togethers. Staff are very friendly and professional. The residents seem to be treated well and seen to be happy there. They have 2 small parking lots for residents and visitors.

The staff at OC3 are really friendly and professional. My first visit here was for, what they call an "Integrative Assessment". It sounds fancy, but essentially, you see a chiro and a physic for your problem and they work together on your treatment plan. I had a few sessions with the chiro to work on my back, and then worked with the physio for my shoulder basically my body was broken after I had my son). Since then, I have done their Post-partum Yoga class (with Shelagh) and go on a regular basis to see Shelagh for physio on my back, shoulder and for acupuncture (omg, the most amazing results!). I wasn't able to move my shoulder for 6 months after a volleyball injury and after 1 session of acupuncture, it was 90% cured! I swear by it now. I will be booking for massage there too and would love to try their one on one pilates sessions. So many services offered under one roof. I love it! PS- they have parking, but it's on the side of the house. They have about 4 spots and for the most part I never have trouble finding one. Lots of 1 hr street parking around too. The pats don't last more than 30 min, so you should be ok, unless you get a really long massage. They accept only debit, cash or cheque too, so have the money ready!

I have never been to the Riverside Hospital before, but it looks like I will be frequenting this hospital indefinitely. It is a quaint hospital, that offers several services and clinics on site, with specialized doctors like internal medicine, physiotherapists, ect. They have a blood lab on site as well as x-ray and ultrasound lab on site. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. All services were quick and top notch. It was an easy to navigate hospital as well. I did find it a tad dark in the hospital, but I hate bright fluorescent lighting, so it was perfect for me! There is a drop off area at the main entrance, as well as a full functioning Tim Hortons on site with tons of seating.
