Resident Testimonials

A collection of testimonials from our residents and families.

David Hamilton moved to Andrews of Summerside after it became apparent to him that he was no longer able to take care of himself without help. He says it’s the best decision he’s made in years. He’s adapted to life at our home, made friends and takes part in lots of activities.

“It’s the best thing I’ve done in years,” he said. “I think if I hadn’t come here, I don’t know if I’d even be here.”

Since moving in, he’s gained weight (which he had lost while living alone) and has noticed a significant improvement in his mood. After living on his own and spending a great deal of time alone, he enjoys the opportunities to be social, especially the men’s group.

“We’ve developed a great friendship among ourselves,” he said. “It’s nice to have that male contact.”

For Joyce Peacock, the best part about life at Andrews is knowing her family doesn’t have to worry about her.

Joyce had been living alone and, while care was available during the day, nights were a concern for her family. Now, she’s happy knowing they can rest easy.

“I don’t have to worry about the driveway being shovelled,” she said. “You don’t have any worries in the world.”

Both of Michael Morrison’s parents, as well as Michael, have been residents at Andrews of Stratford.

Michael is an active member of our resident community. He takes part in all our music events, our men’s group, any fundraisers we hold and never misses a meal in our dining room.

Thank you for the kind words, Michael. They mean a lot coming from you!

Allan Evoy was an avid sportsman well into his 80s.

When he began to struggle with daily activities, he moved in with his son and daughter-in-law. However, it became evident Allan needed more care and stimulation than they could provide. That’s when they began looking at senior care homes.

Evelyn Rafuse moved into Andrews Senior Care for one simple reason: she didn’t want to cook anymore.

It’s one of the reasons many people choose to move into senior care.

When Bonita Bevans toured Andrews of Stratford nearly 20 years ago, she joked to her daughter Lynn Trowsdale that if she ever needed to move into a senior care home, she wanted it to be Andrews.

After Bonita suffered a stroke in 2018 and required additional daily care, there was no question about where she was going to live.

Ralph Foy moved into Andrews of Charlottetown after suffering a fall in 2015.

Initially, it was only intended to be short-term, but in time it became clear to both Ralph and his family that he would require more care than could be provided at home.
