My parents have been there happily for over ten years, and I have nothing but praise for the…read morenursing, desk, maintenance and kitchen staff -- even my mom's hairdresser. Especially since my dad died last year, they have all been particularly attentive to my mom. However, WATCH EVERYTHING FINANCIAL. My parents were once asked to pay a bill already paid. Even worse, one year their rent increase was based on a fictitious $215/month more than it actually was. Imagine if I had not been there to catch this, practically by accident? I don't have anything positive to say about the upper echelons of administration, so I'll just leave it at that!

My grandfather has been a resident at Manoir du Vieux Canal for a couple of years now. Every time I…read morecome to visit, he tells me how much he loves being there. The location is so convenient because all the stores and facilities are near the residence and it's close by the water. My grandpa loves the view he has from his room! The cost of living in this community is reasonable considering the beautiful location and A+ service. He enjoys the socializing outdoor activities as well as the organized activity made by the staff. The activity staff also goes out of their way to personally come to his room and remind him of the daily activities as he has memories issue. They really offer top notch service when it comes to adapting his needs. The management is extremely friendly and caring. Anytime my father leaves a message for the administrator, he always receives a prompt response and the matters are resolved immediately. We are so glad to have found this place for my grandpa where he is so well taken care of. Finally, i've noticed that the owner always make sure that the manoir is well maintained. Any issues related to plumbing, elevator and such are quickly fixed. I'd give it 6 stars on 5 if i could!

WORST PLACE Because of the beautiful building I assumed the…read moreservice will follow. What a mistake... They insisted we pay 6000$ for 2 weeks in advance; they put pressure on my mom to pay quickly to 'reserve the room', but when it came time to sign, the room was no longer available. We put my dad there Dec 2. THE TEAM FORGOT TO GIVE MY DAD HIS MEDS THE WHOLE DAY / NIGHT, despite us paying extra for 24-7 service.... and the food is garbage and in very small portions. It's crazy expensive too. Update Dec 7 : Today I noticed they didn't indicated his medication in Wednesday. WHEN I ARRIVED THIS MORNING AT 8:20am TODAY THEY HAD NOT YET GIVEN HIM THe 6am MEDICATIONS (I have proof and pictures) Update Dec 9: After 1 week of staying there, the doctor has not yet passed by. On Friday I asked when the doctor will pass by, they told me Monday (today). Today I asked again and they said they don't know , then they said Friday, maybe. HORRIBLE experience. My family and I have been the most stressed by this experience . A small portion of the staff cares but overall management and PABs do not.
