    My Mom came to the Russell HIll straight from the aiport when she came to live in Toronto 7 years ago! She has settled in so well and is thriving at the amazing age of 92! Every single staff member and employee is like gold. The residents are treasured and treated with utmost respect and dignity. Everybody feels like family walking thorugh the doors. The entertainment/ activities especially music are an absolute favourite. The Russell HIll is Home away from Home. First class to be!
