The Briton House

During COVID, I felt such incredible relief knowing the quality of care and compassion my father was receiving at The Briton House. As a resident on a care floor, he was always treated with dignity and warmth and I cannot express my gratitude for the wonderful PSWs and nurses who tended to him everyday.

The Briton house is an excellent retirement home. The food is very good, lots of variety and made fresh every day. A wonderful dining experience. The staff are helpful and always smiling. Rooms are clean. Residents who need help to get up and dressed are given excellent care. There is always something to do. The programs are a variety of monthly outings, and in-house events such as movie nights, pet visits, card games, birthday social and music recitals. Programs are also tailored to the needs of the residents. Mother's day and Father's day brunches were unique in presentation, variety of foods and abundance. There is an indoor salt water pool, great for water walking programs. There is an exercise room with a lot of equipment. They have a beautiful Atrium decorated with an assortment of plants and trees. It is very relaxing to sit with your loved ones and socialize. They have a Briton House news letter which keeps you informed of events and thought for the day. You also get to read about the residents who are new to the home. Many thanks for a wonderful experience. Kudos to the Briton House family and staff.

My mom moved here a month ago, it is fantastic. Beautiful facilities, great activities and food and the management and nursing staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!¡

My sister and I are forever grateful that we found Briton House. When our mom developed dementia, we tried her in a couple of places with disastrous results because they didn't have the expertise or sensitivity to deal with her disease. From the moment she moved into Briton House, we could breathe again because everyone involved in her care knew exactly how to make her feel safe and loved and content. The daily activities were creatively geared for the diminishing mind, and there was always lots of laughter. When we wanted to give Mom a change of scenery, we had options to go to in the building: a lovely leafy atrium, where we could have tea, a beach" room

My Dad has been living at Briton House since October of 2019. Prior to the pandemic, Dad loved the daily exercise classes, music concerts and socialising over meals in the dining room. Briton House acted quickly and proactively getting PPE early on, to protect staff and residents. Their frequent and regular updates for family of residents, have been helpful, comforting and appreciated. Briton House is one of the first, if not the first, long term care facility to have all staff and residents vaccinnated! An amazing accomplishment! Although we have missed, in person visits, I know staff are working hard to return to, some normalcy for their residents. I have every confidence, their knowledge and skill, attention to detail and care will make this happen.

The Briton House is a family owned and operated senior care facility. From the top down the Briton House is an excellent facility that deeply cares about their residents. They have a beautiful indoor garden with tons of sunlight.I would recommend to anyone looking for a senior care facility.

My cousin chose this residence after learning his medical condition was terminal The staff and upper management were always available to keep me in the loop. GOD bless

As a local Toronto Realtor who often works with seniors, I have experienced many retirement/senior care facilities across the GTA. The Briton House has been an almost weekly destination for me over the past 25 years and I have personally experienced all the facility has to offer.This is a first class organization with the unique benefit of being owned and operated by a caring family personally dedicated to the well being of all who reside there. The administration, staff, medical care, building amenities and maintenance are second to none.Without hesitation, the Briton House has always been, and remains, my first choice of recommendation to anyone looking for the best in retirement/senior care living in downtown Toronto.

I had the pleasure of holding a Studio Recital for my private violin and vocal students at the Briton House Recital Hall. The Recital Hall is a hidden gem! It has wonderful acoustics, a baby grand piano, concert lighting, an in-house sound system, and wonderful theater style seating.The Briton House Staff were very attentive in helping to make sure that all my logistical needs were met; and the residents were a lovely and receptive audience.My students are still talking about how much fun they had performing at the Briton House!

I was most impressed with the care that my late friend Keith received during his stay at the Briton House. He was largely handicapped by progressive strokes and required accommodations and patience to help him through the day. Both were freely provided while he lived there. Meals were excellent and provided in an atmosphere of quiet elegance and comfort. The staff made efforts to be sure that he could attend the many social opportunities available there; the bridge club, morning exercise classes, evening concerts and movies being the most important to him. He found spending time in the expansive open atrium as a wonderful opportunity to get out and enjoy time outside his apartment.Briton House helped bring Keith back into a more vibrant life. My sincere thanks to all the staff and administration who made his life so comfortable and engaged during his time there. I rate the Briton House as A+ and have no hesitation in recommending it to those looking at assisted living settings.Ralph Masi MD, CCFP
