This page contains answers to questions that are
often asked by people exploring the idea of moving into the property.
Please feel free to address any specific queries of this nature to us.
1.Will I have the freedom to do what I want, when I
want?
At the Royalton, you have the same freedom as you
would in a regular apartment building or house. After all, this is your
home! There are no restrictions or curfews, and it is completely up to
you whether you participate in organized activities. For security
reasons, we do ask that you alert us if you plan to be away for any
length of time. This gives you, and us, peace of mind.
2. Is the residence safe? Is there 24-hour security?
Absolutely. Our residences offer very tight security,
with controlled access and round-the-clock surveillance. Every unit has
an emergency call system which will put you in immediate contact with
one of our qualified employees at any time of the day or night. In
addition to standard security features (sprinkler systems, etc.), most
of our residences offer additional amenities such as surveillance
cameras and emergency power generators, so you can sleep safe and sound,
knowing that you are in excellent hands.
3. Is there an in-house doctor or nurse?
A visiting Physician is available to all residents if
needed, however most people may prefer to use their own Physicians.
Registered staff are available during the day and qualified personnel
are also available to dispense first aid and medication at all times. We
take good care of our own
4. Do I have to eat all my meals in the dining room?
Not at all - since the suites are equipped with
kitchens you can do your own gourmet cooking and enjoy a meal in the
comfort of your own suite. However, depending on the options you choose,
your rent may already include a certain number of meals. So why not dig
in and enjoy!
5. Are the meals varied? What if I feel like a snack?
Our Dining Staff prepares several different complete
meals every day, along with a selection of individual "à la carte"
items. The choices vary according to the season and market availability.
Regardless, all meals are freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced and
delicious. And if you feel like a little something between meals, you
can pick from a vast selection of snack foods in our Bistro. Bon
appétit!
6. What services are offered in the building and
nearby?
The Royalton boasts a wide range of services and
amenities. On site, you will find most of the necessities, including
hair salons, libraries, tuck shop, housekeeping and religious services.
The Royalton also offers complimentary transportation for excursions,
shopping trips and other organized outings. And given that our residence
is conveniently located, you will be in close proximity to most of the
services you need, including public transit, places of worship, medical
centres, pharmacies, banks, cleaners, travel agencies and a multitude of
other businesses. You’ll be right in the heart of everything!
7. What happens if I start to have serious health
problems? Do I have to move?
If your condition is temporary, the decision is up to
you, based on the type of care or treatment you need and the advice of
your Physician. However, you should bear in mind, that our residences
are designed to cater to independent seniors. Despite the fact that we
do offer some assisting living services, should your condition become
chronic and should you require extensive long-term care, it may become
necessary and preferable to find an establishment whose staff and
equipment better suit your needs.
8. Are there organized activities? What kind?
Each residence organizes an array of social, cultural
and sports activities, based on the preferences expressed by its
residents. In general, there are outings to live shows, residents’
tournaments (pool, lawn bowling, etc.), trips and leisure activities
such as choral/musical groups, reading clubs, and arts and crafts
workshops. And you can even suggest and make arrangements for other
pursuits close to your own heart. Whenever possible, the Royalton’s
management will support your initiatives. Be sure to ask for more
information.
9. Can my family come for a visit?
You can visit with your family at any time in your
suite or a common room. The Royalton also offers reception facilities
for family reunions or friendly get-togethers involving larger groups.
Guest suites are also available for out of town visitors.
10. What kind of people will I be living with?
You will find yourself among an interesting, active group of people
who share your values and whose experience and outlook are similar to
your own. At the Royalton we become a fertile ground for new and
rewarding friendships. And you’ll be surrounded by a devoted, caring and
qualified staff whose cheerful nature and attentiveness to your needs
you’re sure to appreciate. You will definitely fit right in.
