Our Buildings
At Alavida Lifestyles, we offer spacious, well-planned layouts and excellent, en-suite amenities – such as laundry, high-speed internet, phone, cable and climate control, and the most reliable security and fire-suppression system. In fact, we received an A+ on our review by the Retirement Home Regulatory Authority, we are an approved member of ORCA, and the Ottawa Fire Department has been very impressed with our investment in EVAC Chairs and our building designs that consider fire safety – contributing to record speed in fire drills. It is the passion to create a beautiful home, the meticulousness of our designs, and the caliber of the materials we select that make us a notch above the rest.
Recognition
On a regular basis, we recognize the achievements and greatness of our employees with long-service awards, development-training days, and monthly appreciation meetings where we collect and celebrate comments from our residents about staff who have gone above and beyond their roles – we call them “WOW” moments and we sure do have a lot of them!
Each year, hundreds of companies are nominated for their contributions to Ottawa’s success and in 2016 the Ravines won “Best Assisted Living in Ottawa” from SeniorAdvisor.com, in 2013 our Promenade location won the title of People’s Choice Business of the Year, and in 2011, People’s Choice Service Business of the Year! It was a great honour and a reflection of the service we provide.
Reviews
The staff here has been incredibly supportive. They offered to help us unpack and settle in when we moved in. The front desk staff and the dining room staff are fantastic, and all the services they provide are top-notch. I’m so happy to be living here.
My mother has been a resident at the Ravines on the 2nd floor for the past 7 years. She suffers from Dementia. Her care has been excellent. The management has been responsive and kind. PSW’s Sandra, Patrick and Steve are an asset to their profession.
We really enjoy it. The people who work here are lovely, and the servers in the dining room are fantastic. There’s also a dance coordinator who my wife absolutely loves. She helps my wife stay active and moving, which is excellent.
