Located across from historic park
By Mark Schadenberg
With 59 private rooms, Park Place Retirement Home in Woodstock might just be that perfect mix of being large enough to offer all the services expected from a retirement residence, but also not being too large that the staff doesn’t know everyone’s name.
As noted in similar writings, this entry is not a paid advertisement, but simply information on a very good Oxford County option for a person who requires some assistive living, but is generally quite independent.
Located at 126 Graham Street, maybe it’s the location that is its top amenity. Park Place is across the street from an open park (Victoria Park is also site of city’s cenotaph), about one block from the public library, and just a short walk to Downtown Woodstock and countless shops. An afternoon stroll down historic Vansittart Avenue on a warm fall day would also be on your list of activities.
On the website: www.chartwellreit.ca/locations/park-place-retirement-centre, Park Place is described: “Residents participate in a host of activities such as teas, afternoon crafts, movie matinees and scheduled trips. At the Park Place Retirement Centre, you can select the lifestyle that best suits your needs. Choose from a host of services and activities, and let our trained staff take care of the rest.”
For your personal tour contact either Terri Lockyear (tlockyear@chartwellreit.ca) or Cindy English today at Park Place, via email or phone (519 539-0219) to set an appointment.
I will certainly not add info here about cost for accommodation as every situation is unique.
If you are seeking a temporary home, Park Place services also include short-term stays.
All The Services You Expect
For residents the list of features and services is thorough: healthcare monitoring, medication consultations, three meals daily in dining room and 24-hour refreshments, housekeeping, laundry, entertainment, recreation and fitness, transportation for shopping and day trips, and of course on-site management – someone to daily answer the questions you may have.
Obviously the home includes elevators, but amenities also include a billiards room, private dining room for smaller family functions like a birthday party, hair salon, computer room with internet, and a general activity room for euchre and crafts.
As for your private room, all residents are encouraged to bring their favourite wing-back chair or recliner, and other furnishings with them, as the rooms are a generous size.
The Chartwell Reit corporation has over 180 similar homes across Canada, including more than 100 in Ontario, such as Oxford Manor in Ingersoll, Anne Hathaway in Stratford, and both Riverside and RoyalCliffe in London.
