A warm home for every chapter — and the people who wrote them.

Golden Years Care is a family-owned community of 96 residents in Maple Grove. Assisted living, memory care and short-stay respite, with registered nurses on site around the clock and caregivers who learn your father's favourite tea before they learn his chart.

Our promise

Dignity is not a service level. It is the whole point.

Nobody arrives here as a diagnosis. People arrive with a lifetime of preferences — the chair by the window, the crossword before breakfast, the grandchild's photo facing the bed. Our job is to keep all of it, and to add safety and company around the edges.

“We built Golden Years after struggling to find a place for my own mother that felt like a home rather than a ward. Everything here answers a question she asked me.” — Priya Ramanathan, Founder & Managing Director
The same caregiver, most days Small, consistent teams so faces — and stories — stay familiar.
Care that waits for a yes We offer, we invite, we never rush. Consent is part of the care plan.
Families are residents too Open visiting, monthly care conferences, and a real person who answers the phone.
Care & services

Three levels of care, one address — so moving never means starting over.

Needs change. Tenancy shouldn't have to. Because assisted living, memory care and respite share the same building and the same care team, your parent keeps their room, their neighbours and their routine if support has to step up.

Facility tour

One level. Five courtyards. No long corridors.

We planned this building with an occupational therapist and 40 residents. Everything is on a single floor with handrails that look like joinery, and every household opens onto green space.

Prefer to see it for yourself? In-person tours run daily at 10am and 2pm, including a weekend slot. Bring your parent, bring your questions, bring the dog if that helps.

A day at Golden Years

Structure, so the day never becomes a question mark.

Predictable rhythm is one of the kindest things you can offer someone with memory changes or mobility limits. Here is an ordinary Thursday — yours to shape, not ours to impose.

07:30 Breakfast club Freshly cooked, at your own table or in the kitchen diner with the early risers.
09:30 Physio & movement One-to-one sessions in the falls clinic or chair yoga in the studio.
12:30 Lunch & the garden Open kitchen menu, then the raised beds, the greenhouse, or a bench in the sun.
15:00 Music, cards, company Live music on Tuesdays, knitting circle, or the newspaper and a proper pot of tea.
18:30 Supper & quiet hours Family are welcome at any meal. Night staff hand over face-to-face, not on paper.

Our people

The people your parent will actually see every day.

An average tenure of 6.4 years — unusual in this sector, and the reason residents don't have to keep re-explaining themselves. Meet a few of the team who will be part of the week.

Family resources

Nobody hands you a manual. So we wrote one.

Deciding on care is one of the most emotionally loaded decisions a family makes — usually suddenly, usually under pressure. These are the resources our own staff used with their parents.

The 12-question tour checklist Exactly what to ask on a viewing — including the four questions homes hope you won't. PDF · 6 pages What does it actually cost? Plain-language pricing, funding pathways, and what is never included. No asterisks. PDF · 4 pages How to talk about the move Scripts for the first conversation, and what to do when it goes badly. It often does. Guide · 5 min read Carer burnout self-check A short, honest screening tool for the family member holding everything together. Tool · 10 questions

We currently hold three suites, so a planned move is typically two to four weeks from first visit. Urgent hospital discharges and respite stays can usually be arranged in 48 hours — call us and ask, even if it's a Thursday evening.

Suite, all meals and snacks, 24-hour care staffing, personal care, medication management, housekeeping, laundry, transport to appointments within 10 km, and every activity on the calendar. Not included: private specialist fees, hairdressing, podiatry and personal phone or streaming subscriptions. Our pricing sheet lists all of it on one page.

Yes — 7am to 9pm, seven days, no booking. Family are welcome at any meal, and we'll set an extra place. If you'd like to stay overnight after a hospital discharge, we keep a family guest room upstairs at no charge.

Care is reviewed every eight weeks and any time your parent's GP, or you, raise a concern. Because assisted living, memory care and nursing support sit in the same building, nobody has to leave Golden Years to receive more care — and the team already knows them.

You can join the list at no cost after a visit and hold a position while you decide — no deposit to be "in the queue". A refundable two-week deposit is only taken once you accept a specific suite offer.

This is the most common first sentence we hear, and it's a reasonable one. Most families start with a short respite stay or a day programme — three nights, no contract, nothing given up. Around seven in ten people who try it ask about a permanent suite themselves. Nobody is asked to sign anything on the first visit.

“Mum was in respite for four nights and came back with two new friends and a nickname. The staff rang me twice a day without being asked, and one of them cried with me at the door. That's not a service level, that's people.”

“My father has vascular dementia and we'd been told to expect a locked unit. Instead he has a garden, a colouring table, and a carer who learned the words to his favourite song. He is still my father.”

“I looked at six homes. This was the only one where a resident stopped us in the corridor to tell us how much she liked it. Two years later, my mother is that resident.”
