What Makes Us Stand Out?
Aside from being the first Respite Hotel and Premium Day Program in the world, we also pride ourselves in providing the best supportive care for those living with memory loss and their care partners, all in a beautiful hotel that anyone would enjoy.
Our compassion extends beyond our services, as we are boutique, and Memory Care is all we do. We get to personally know each of our Members to ensure they have a wonderful and compassionate experience, with dedicated professionals that truly understand their individual needs and preferences. This support extends to the care partners, too. We strive to make everyone’s life a little easier by educating, supporting, and advocating on the member’s behalf when needed.
Testimonials
Memory and Company is by far the best facility in York Region for anyone with dementia or alzheimer’s. After visiting many facilities, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offer a full day program as part of their short stay and full time accommodation packages! They spent the time to get to know my mother and worked with us to adjust my mother’s medications so that she is comfortable, safe and happy. The staff are friendly and caring, the facility and accommodations clean, spacious and inviting, and the home cooked meals delicious. They send regular communications about upcoming events, and quickly follow up on items that require attention. And, their pricing is very reasonable. As I said, they are THE BEST facility in York Region!
