Victoria Place

I was I volunteer at Revera Victoria Place the stuff was very nice and supported. Also the resideences were very nice too.

A testimonial from a loved one...

In the cycle of life one of the greatest challenges is seeing a loved one unable to care for themselves due to illness, old age or accidents.

During the last year of his life my brother Ben was a resident at Victoria Place in Kitchener. We knew from situational experience how wonderful the care was.

My parents had spent a short spell at the same facility while our mother was recuperating from heart surgery. It was the first time we had seen my father helpless.

Our. mother was in need of care as was my dad. Victoria Place allowed them to be together while the staff made sure our mother was well cared for and able to convalesce.

Ten years later - Victoria Place gave the family peace of mind knowing my brother was comfortable and always in great company.

It doesn’t feel like an institution or nursing home. Dignity is truly a human imperative and kudos to VP for creating such a climate.

Humanity is both a noun and a verb. Whoever does the staffing recruitment knows this. The culture at Victoria Place is one of dignity, humanity and community.

Everybody from the night nurses, to the food prep people and office staff truly seem to work as a team. It feels like a family business. And there’s no better place for a family member in need of care.

The food is incredible! The residents are offered choices and the kitchen staff are very creative! During the year so Ben was at Victoria Place he always looked forward to dining with those he had connected with.
On various occasions we too would enjoy meals with the residents.

Worthy of mention, after my brother’s passing it was surprising how much we missed some of the people at Victoria Place. I can honestly say having visited many people in other homes, Victoria Place could actually be fun. Let’s just say there wasn’t much censorship between the guests. You could always hear laughter and see smiling faces.

That is not something any of us would expect in our younger years. Whatever darkness was around the corner there was always a light of hope resplendent. It really doesn’t matter when we get to the finish line. It matters how.

Rest assured my friends, there is no better place in Kitchener Waterloo for those you love in need of comfort, safety and as mentioned… Community.

Thank you Victoria Place.
