What Residents & Families Are Saying

Our entire family is so appreciative of all you and others did to make this such a wonderful home for our father over the last year plus. I honestly wouldn't change a thing about what you offer your residents. The staff really understands the needs of all the residents regardless of how unique each is. Collectively, you successfully meet these needs far beyond what we would have anticipated when he came. They are all so supportive of one another. Let's hope that Kingsway is available to us in our old age! Collectively we will never forget what a wonderful environment you provided for our father. Words cannot thank you and your team enough for your support at a very challenging time in all of our lives.

Darlene - Independent Living

In February 2008, we moved Mom into the Kingsway Village. We could never have imagined how her earthly story would end last month, but the Kingsway staff at the Village, Manor and Arms were all part of her story and guided her step-by-step into the Lord's care. Your TV commercials talk about the Kingsway family. We experienced it. Thank you for making the process of growing old and sick so dignified. We will remember Kingsway fondly, especially the people we met throughout the years.
