Peter C. McCusker ·Oakville Beaver "Queens Avenue was one of the best decisions I've ever made." B y P a u la K o z b ia l ADVERTISING FEATURE At 84 years old, Allan Wilfred Hall never imagined the fantastic ride his life would be: tak ing over his dad's poultry farm, marrying the woman o f his dreams, having five amazing chil dren and meeting the most interesting people through his woodworking business. And though Allan looks back at his past in amazement, he's a little apprehensive about his future. After his wife gradually succumbed to Alzheimer's and is currently in a caring facility with specialized care, Allan is in a whole new stage o f his life - b ut he is not alone. T he empathetic staff at Queens Avenue are there to offer support and guidance. Queens Avenue Retirement Residence has all the amenities o f home, allowing you to have an independent and personal lifestyle. T he eightstorey building has spacious open-concept stu dios and one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 370 to 775 sq. ft. All are equipped with full kitchens, a sitting area, full bathrooms with walk-in seated showers and 24hour medic alert monitoring. T he facility is secure with automatic keyless building door entries and all entries are locked and monitored by closed circuit television. Allan said becoming a resident at Queens Avenue was one o f the best decisions he has ever made in his life. "Queens Avenue is something else. T he staff is truly beautiful - so happy, so polite, and so willing to help with anything," says Allan. "They are fantastic. They can't do enough for you." W hen Allan first moved into Queens Avenue, the residence allowed his daughters to host a wine and cheese party in one o f the rooms so that their father could meet all o f the other resi dents. His daughter Brenda said this accommo dation to her father's needs is a true example o f their caring and consideration o f all the resi dents. "Queens Avenue far exceeds any standards. I can't say enough about them. It's just a lovely m M E N S & L A D IE S ' * / / f SHEEPSKIN TRUNK SHOW Saturday, October 18th 10 a.m. - 5 P.m. spot with so many wonderful staff. Everybody is so upbeat. It's just a fabulous group o f people," she says. Allan lives in one o f their one-bedroom apart ments with separate kitchen and living room. He has brought some o f his most cherished m em en tos to his new living area: photos o f his wife and children, grandchildren and five beautiful great grandchildren; stunning furniture he made him self and carefully chosen accessories. Allan has made the space at Queens Avenue his own, reflecting his own individual personali ty. And if he chooses, he can sit outside on one o f the balconies that surround the building on every floor or take part in the m ultitude o f activ ities offered. W hat Allan loves most is the security o f knowing help is immediate if he ever needs it.

This isiu st one o f the many features Queens Avenue offers in their enhanced care packages which are customized to suit every individual, allowing them only to pay for the services they need, rather than bundling up packages for a set rate.
