THEY COULDN’T DO ENOUGH FOR US

-

“I feel very lucky to be here — very fortunate,” says Darlene Stewart, a resident of The Williston since March. “There are such great people here — staff and residents. It’s great.”

Darlene has found that The Williston staff makes every effort to resolve problems and make residents feel welcome. “They’ve just been wonderful,” she says. “There are glitches all the time when you move into a new place, but, as soon as you mention it — like a stuck door or your air conditioni­ng — they’re just there immediatel­y and helping you out. They have been just great — absolutely. And so pleasant all the time. They couldn’t do enough for us, really, so it’s been a pleasure being here.”

Meanwhile, the community residing at The Williston has come together nicely. “They’re just such friendly groups, and I think we’re all kind of pleased to be here and kind of watching everything that goes on,” says Darlene, who frequently has coffee with her new neighbours. “It’s just fun being together… You see them walking around, or coming in or anything, and it’s just a really, communityf­riendly place and thoroughly enjoyable.”

As the facility is completed, the residents marvel at the new additions. “It’s beautiful — the interior decorator was just incredible,” says Darlene. “I was laughing with one of the girls because there’s so many places to sit around here, you can just run around from one to the other with your coffee… It’s just a lovely place, and I’m just enjoying it so much, and really everything hasn’t even opened yet!”
