Fall 2001 - The Canadian Jewish News
They'd been advertising it for months: a new, wonderfully different kind of retirement home that promised to allow the more independent older members of your family to enjoy a true "golden age", in an active lifestyle environment. A place that would attend to their needs while encouraging them to keep going, keep "maching", keep their engine moving - not settle into a rut. A place that would pave the way for new experiences and friendships.
If the eagerly-anticipated grand opening of L'chaim Retirement Home is any indication, it will not only meet these expectations, but far surpass them. From the physical environment to the staff, this place just "feels" young.
For starters, there's more natural light in the front lobby and dining area than in some whole buildings. What an uplifting way to enjoy your daily meals - bathed in sunshine! The facilities, as promised, are state-of-the-art, the cooking haymishe, the programming thorough, the attention personal - yet the entire package can be enjoyed for less than at many other retirement homes!
Underscoring the youthful spirit, founder Judy Cohen and Director Wendy Isenberg carry many years of devoted service in the retirement field with a vim, vigour and enthusiasm that belie their chronological age.
As the newest addition to the Bathurst-Sheppard neighbourhood, L'chaim's rejuvenative qualities give new meaning to the phrase "right on campus.
