Prince of Peace

I volunteer with a senior who lived at the Prince of Peace until she had to be moved to a LTC facility. In her final months at the POP she was sleeping 90% of the day, I figured this was being done on purpose as she had become difficult to deal with (that is why she was moving). She was hallucinating all the time, seeing chickens, babies, children etc... I thought maybe her Dementia was getting worse.At her new home Bethany Calgary she is a totally different person! No hallucinations EVER, she is always awake when I visit and she is happy.When I had to go pack up her things I gave specific instructions to the staff not to touch or do anything as I had to organize everything and I knew where she kept everything. When I got there her stuff was all over the place, thrown into large black bags like her life didn't matter. When I found out who had done it, I asked him where her bank card was (he used to go do her banking). He had just tossed it in a bag, I never would have found it. He is the only one who knows her pin number. I was not impressed. Very Sketchy.I feel for the most part the building itself was very clean and welcoming but once you don't fit, you don't matter anymore.I feel some of the employees knew what I thought was happening, some of them have since moved on elsewhere. I hope they all sleep well at night and I sure hope they are treated better when they are old one day.If you have someone to watch over you as you age, consider yourself very fortunate.Sincerely,Lynn

There is clearly and obviously a build-up of respiratory viral infections ready to invade on many vectors - it is a challenge to keep it all at bay - the staff vigilantly guard against infection from every angle.my mom is quite appreciative of your efforts, as well as all the accommodations you provide for her.

I love the big windows! There are great views of the mountains and prairies. The walking paths are well maintained which makes it easy to enjoy the duck ponds and green space in the community.

I'm writing this review in addition to the review I left here almost a year ago. My Mom, Betty Klassen passed away in November. She was able to receive Palliative Care at her home, Prince of Peace, after having a stroke. Our family experienced significant emotional and physical support through the last 5 days that we spent at our Mom's bedside.In those difficult days, we witnessed the deep connection that existed between Mom and her caregivers. They treated her and us with a great deal of respect and care. They anticipated care needs, they showed up during the most difficult days, with such kindness and compassion for us all. Mom died peacefully and gracefully here in her home, surrounded by her children and her Prince of Peace family. The impact that this had upon our family will be with us forever. It was a great gift. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

Both my wife's parents and her aunt live there and are very happy. Very satisfied with all the support, kitchen, administrative, and health care staff. Would definitely recommend Prince of Peace to anyone seeking an assisted living/retirement community.

My Mum, who is 97, has lived at Prince of Peace Manor for three years. She has some dementia and she loves living there. She says the food is very good and the staff are professional, kind, helpful and not intrusive. I have found the standard of care to be excellent and staff go the extra mile to ensure that residents are healthy and safe. My Mum and I are happy we found the Prince of Peace Manor.

What a lovely place. The staff are all so kind and full of compassion and knowledge! The nurses go above and beyond and the whole place is clean and sanitary (a priority for my family)! The food is also amazing and I really appreciate all the activities and fun events the staff plan. It really brightens the patient's days and helps the days not blend in to one another. I think it's vital to have something to look forward to and socializationfor quality of life and to ward off dementia! Thank you Prince of Peace! You've given me peace of mind and joy!

On Saturday Jan 2, 2021 at approximately 4 in the afternoon my Mother who has resided at Prince of Peace since July 2020, had her television service go dark. Being an avid football fan, this was not going to do given the NCAA &NFL playoffs were on the horizon. Thinking quickly the Front Desk/Kitchen employee took it upon herself to become an electronics aficionado. She recognized the problem was a broken shaw cable receiver and located a box containing extra cable receivers installing it so the TV was back operating within a very short time. This employees initiative is indicative of what our experience has been with Prince of Peace Manor. We take comfort knowing that our Mom's needs/care are always the primary focus of the staff and they do it with enthusiasm and a smile. Thanks so so much!

Do not, and I repeat, do not let your loved ones live here. Years ago this place was good. But over the past few years this place has gone down hill faster than an avalanche. The residents are not the focus any longer. It is only about the almighty dollar! Alot of the staff are only there for a paycheck and to socialize with their friends. Residents are neglected on a daily basis. They are not being checked on properly, being left to sit in their bodily fluids, not being changed into clean clothes. They are also not being fed properly either. Very small portions with no other choices of something they would eat. And the worst part is the so called management" couldn't care less. They couldn't manage a birthday party for one! Management is also very racist. Favoring certain employees over others. Alot of the staff are constantly calling in sick so the staff that actually show up are over worked and extremely under paid. And that causes the residents to not get the care that they desperately need. And all management can say is there is no money for extra hours or money to hire competent staff. So please take your loved ones somewhere where they will be taken care of properly
