What our residents have to say about Golden Life

"I did not realize how independent I can still be"

I like the activities, especially painting, bowling and bocce. I have nothing but positive thoughts of the staff. Caregivers are absolutely wonderful; maintenance staff is great too. I find this a very positive place. I did not realize how independent I can still be. This is home.

"From day one, I have been happy here"

From day one, I have been happy here. I love my suite and the privacy it offers. I’m free to visit friends in the building. I can see family and friends in Cochrane and attend church. There are many organized activities — you can be as busy as can be or not, it’s all voluntary. Dinner in the dining room is a nice chance to visit with friends. I always enjoy our meals. There are choices each day, and the young serving staff do their best to look after us. I really must thank the staff for their consideration and help in so many ways. They go above and beyond to make life pleasant and fun.

"We couldn’t have found a more warm, welcoming and friendly place to call home"

My husband and I have lived in Grand Seton Village since last December 2021 and must say we couldn’t have found a more warm, welcoming and friendly place to call home. Our services are great! A cleaner comes into our apartment once a week and cleans thoroughly! They are very friendly and like a laugh. Our meals are usually very good and we always have choices. Our servers at dinner are very good at their job.
