Carp Commons Retirement Village

Wendy

“THANK YOU! It seems too little to say for all you have done to make mom and dad – especially mom feel like they are special. From the day they moved in you have made them feel like they are a part of your family- how luck are they?!! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!”

My father is an active 94 year old who moved back to Ottawa in 2019 to be near his family. He lives very independently in a lovely, spacious apartment in Carp Commons where he continues to pursue his own interests and manage most of his own appointments and errands. He is getting to know the other residents and is making new friends.

We all appreciate the wonderful Carp Commons staff who are supportive, caring and very engaged with the residents, and who ensure the ongoing comfort, health and safety of all. When Dad has needed some assistance or has questions, the staff team has been consistently helpful and solution-oriented.

Carp Commons is near our home and this proximity to family has allowed us to remain close, even through the pandemic, and to provide assistance when needed. The residence is also easy walking distance to the bank, post office and pharmacy. Dad’s fitness and overall health have improved in the past year and he’s now walking regularly to the library!

“Little did I realize when I came here to live, that I would find so many new and interesting friends all in one place! I believe every person who comes to work in this place has been chosen for his or her special talents, as they all make us feel at home and provide us daily with loving care and support”

“I live in Carp Commons Retirement Village. I am writing to inform Verve of the excellent staff we have here. Since the pandemic started, we have been especially well looked after – well cared for, well fed, and well informed.

The staff are a happy group and smile on the job! We are so fortunate to have such a lovely group of people to look after us. It’s they who have kept us healthy”

“I just want to give a shout out to all those that look after our seniors.. Home care workers- those working in senior homes. People have no idea what the seniors have been going through for 6 months. Today I got to see Nona again, and she had her hair done AND somehow she had these hot pink skinny leg jeans on that I don’t remember buying her. LOLOL. But she looked fabulous in them at 92. Bottom line was she was happy, and so were the other seniors and that says a lot about staff. So thank you to those that work at Carp Commons and all the senior home workers. I salute you. Linda Seccaspina”

“My parents moved into Carp Commons during the Pandemic and therefore had to go into quarantine. The staff at Carp Commons went out of their way to make this as pleasant as possible.

They continue to be a very friendly and helpful group of people and my parents are very happy and relieved to be there. They also love the food!”

“I wish to thank all the wonderful staff at Carp Commons for their ingenuity, creativeness, thoughtfulness and caring. We, the residents, are so fortunate. .. we are glad to advise the public that some senior’s homes are capable of providing excellent care to the residents.”
