Testimonials

At some point in life, I must have contributed to humanity. I have been rewarded by living among a cultured and dignified Community at The Maxwell Residence located in Baie d’Urfe, a jewel of Quebec.

Regardless of my worthiness, The Maxwell Residence, its setting, its location, and most importantly the people who support us , its residence, has to be what all senior residences should be. A reward of any life well lived.

A year ago, when it became time to move mom to a seniors residence, I researched six senior residences before selecting the Maxwell Residence in Baie d’Urfe. A great choice as mom made the transition quickly from her own house and settled in within weeks. When I ask her, (and I do often), what she likes best about the Maxwell, her reply is always about “how nice the people are”. I can’t say enough positive things about Team Maxwell for keeping mom healthy and happy especially in these daunting times of Covid-19.

I moved to Maxwell three years ago, aged 83 and in good health. I’m glad I did, as it freed me from the responsibility of caring for a house and property; which gave me the freedom to visit my family, drive my car, and enjoy the many activities offered at the Maxwell. I have been able to indulge my hobby of gardening on my good sized balcony, and to walk around Baie d’Urfe and explore its parks, waterfront and pretty residential streets. It was the right decision for me.

Living at the Maxwell Residence these last four years has given me a peaceful and worry-free existence. It is friendly and cheerful and the staff is  always helpful. I enjoy exercise classes, outings and weekly entertainment. The sunny garden makes for lovely walks and casual meetings with fellow residents. I feel at home here and happily recommend it.

Having been a member of the Maxwell family for the past three years, I have no regrets as to my decision to live here. There is a great sense of security and lots of friends. I am a very lucky person.

Joan and I moved to Maxwell 5 years ago after finding our home in Beaconsfield too much to handle. It was either move to a smaller home and carry on with the same routine such as housekeeping, cooking and maintaining a house or move to a senior’s residence. After discussing the pros and cons with our family, it was agreed we should move to a senior’s residence. Our daughter explored several residences on the West Island and finally chose Maxwell. We have a spacious 2 bedroom suite with all the amenities on our floor, such as the dining room, gym and laundry room. The meals are excellent and the service is friendly. Any minor problems are handled immediately and with a smile.
