Great Staff

I would like to tell you how much I appreciate the staff at Rutherford. The first visit I met [Name Removed]. She is a sweetheart and takes time to listen to each need and fulfil them. I wish you could meet her. My daughter moved in and loves every minute. #1 for her is good meals. The Dining Room manager is [name removed]. I appreciate how he takes his job seriously and makes sure everyone is happy. He has a kind spirit and Big Smile always. I suggest anyone needing this type of accomodation would check out Rutherford.

My experience with Rutherford Heights and [removed name] has been great.

With just a phone call, I was able to get my daughter placed in Rutherford. This has been an amazingly easy transition for her. She gets all her meals there and the first 3 days had to phone me and tell me what she ate for each meal and how good the food was. The staff is friendly and helpful. By now my daughter knows each one of their names as they take an interest in her (and the other residents) and stop to visit and see if you need anything. As I visit with my friends - who are soon ready to move, they say, I'm going to tell my family to move me to Rutherford. [removed name] is always telling us how good it is there. I would recommend anyone looking for a retirement place, to check out Rutherford Heights.

Her happiness & our peace of mind!

Our 92yr Mom really enjoys living here, in her beautiful, spacious 1 bedroom suite. The staff from admin, care givers, Drs, Nurses, pharma, housekeeping, laundry & maintenance are all very kind & caring. Mom enjoys the great variety of food offered with 2 entree choices for lunch & dinner. What she really looks forward to is all the daily activities offered from exercise class, zumba, yoga, movie theater & games room to the scenic & country drives, mall outings, live music & socials. Mom continuously says how happy she is there & what a great peace of mind for all of us.

Mom rates here 5 Stars

Our Mom (92yr) has lived at Rutherford for one year & everyday says how happy she is there. Mom's suite has her own furniture, pictures & curios, so everything in it is familiar to her. She said the wide variety of activities available are a real bonus for stimulation & camaraderie & looks forward to the daily exercise class. The weekly scenic drive & country drive are wonderful. Mom enjoys the meals with a choice of 2 entrees for lunch & dinner, that they clean her suite & do her laundry once a week. Most of all, Mom says the staff are super nice, friendly & give top rate care.

Some things could be improved

It's pretty good. I've been impressed with the staff and the food and how clean it is. It's an A-1 facility when it comes to all of that. There have been some issues with following directives. That has been a bit of an issue and our only sticking point.

Very Pleased

We've been pretty pleased with it. - It took a little while to get medication sorted out, but it's okay now. The staff has been very friendly. And we like that they have a Doctor. Overall we have been very pleased.

Transition

It was a very hard decision and the transition isn't easy. As a family we feel comforted knowing that they are safe and have people around. Rutherford staff have been very helpful in getting them settled. At first the suites seem small but once set up it has a very homey feel.

Friendly staff, nice facility, a bit dark in a couple of the common areas, could use more windows. Loved that they have 24/7 365 medical assistance on site, however, ould have liked if they had Lifeline.

We had an excellent tour and lunch at Rutherford Heights. The facility is clean and modern and attractive. The food was good. [Removed] gave us the tour and was informative and also caring towards residents who asked for help during our tour. The level of care they can offer is excellent and I like the "all-inclusive" approach to pricing, so there should be few surprises. This facility is well worth a look.

Loved this place. Location is far south but has many amenities around. The price is above average for all that is offered. Loved the decor and they are starting renovations soon, tells me they take pride in their residence. Very friendly tour and people.

The Rutherford Heights home offered a great deal of amenities and we were impressed by the presentation. However, I thought the apartment sizes were quite small and there was very little closet and storage space. Also the price was quite high but I gather that is what you pay for an upper end facility. This is definitely a four to five stars.

  • Know the Alberta regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Alberta regulations for Assisted Living.
