What this means for your family
The facility has seen a significant surge in positive feedback following recent renovations and a focus on staff appreciation. However, because historical reviews highlighted concerns regarding weekend staffing and medical appointment coordination, we recommend asking specifically about current weekend staffing ratios and the process for ensuring medical appointments are tracked and attended.

Key Review Excerpts
“Our mother lived at Sinclair Place for the last five years, and I am genuinely grateful for the care and attention she received during that time. The staff were kind and compassionate, always trying to create a warm and supportive environment.”
“Can't keep employees, especially the executive Director. Like many LTC centers, they run with a very light crew, especially on weekends. Have had to wait at the front door to be let in for over 10 minutes on multiple occasions.”
“Sinclair Place has greatly improved recently! It’s a warm and welcoming community where residents care for one another. The friendly staff, modern renovations, and engaging activities create a fantastic atmosphere.”
