“Our family has spent some time finding the right “home” for our Mom; by this I do not mean a retirement home or nursing home, but an actual home, and we all feel she is finally there. I have worked in retirement homes and we have researched many, but I have to truthfully say this is the best I have ever seen.”

— Bonnie T.

“Mom has told the family numerous times that she is very happy at Queens. Mom fell and cut her arm badly and Queens handled all the necessary cleaning and bandaging. As a family we are at rest knowing that our mother is well cared for.”

— Dee M.

“I have found Nicola and the staff to be very approachable and helpful. I enjoy my privacy but I also like the option to join in on the activities offered. The central location has enabled me to keep my “long time” Oakville friends, doctors, church and more, and has also allowed to me make new friends. I am happy to be living at Queens.”

— Joanne A.

“It's fair to say that an excellent retirement home is not just were the staff are great and the food is good - its a place where needs are more anticipated than just noticed; where nourishment is for the body, yes, but mind and spirit too. Its where our elders experience the care and loving they have given us - every month and week, day and moment of each year. It is where my uncle and aunt found a wonderful next home - where they became part of a larger family. Many years ago THEY chose the Queens Avenue Retirement Residence and we are oh so pleased they did.”

— James Roy

“After 52 years in their house, the in-laws had to move into a retirement residence where they could receive the care they needed and deserved. Fortunately, the staff at Queens Retirement Residence made the transition as easy and pleasant as it could possibly be. We were repeatedly impressed and relieved at the level of professionalism and personal warmth they demonstrated, as we worked together to overcome the various obstacles that inevitably present themselves. In the end, the well-being of the in-laws skyrocketed - as our worry and concern vanished. We now enjoy visiting both the staff and residents as often as we can, because it's an absolute pleasure to be there. If you're considering moving to a retirement residence, we cannot recommend Tom, Darlene and the folks at Queens Avenue Retirement highly enough.”

— Allan Gaudette

“Our entire family want to thank the staff and caregivers at queens avenue for doing such a fantastic job with all their residents and each other. They went out of their way to make our mom’s 90 th birthday very special even though she couldn’t see family on her day because of covid 19. The team work so well together coordinating care, activities and helping everybody feel that this is their home and they are safe and well taken care of. This means so much to us as we are spread out across Barrie Hamilton and Oakville. We would highly recommend Queens as an assistant living residence for parents who are needing extra care and companionship that family can’t always provide. It is a quaint 4 story residence with greenery and closeness to highways too. Thank you once again to the entire staff for working so well to keep smiles on our parents faces. It was the best move for our mom after 50 years in her family home. She has met so many wonderful friends and caregivers. Keep up the great work!”
