Happiness, Health, and Hospitality

The Cove Retirement Living offers all the service and care options you're looking for in a Premiere Retirement Community. Our focus is on helping our residents preserve relationships, maintain familiarity of their routines and surroundings, while also providing security and comfort.

We understand that your independence remains a vital part of your lifestyle. The Rideout House & Williston House offers comfortable, spacious, sophisticated apartments without the worry of home maintenance, inclusive of a nurturing community with a home like atmosphere.

House Doctor:

Dr. James Milne has recently joined the Rideout/Williston team as the “house doctor”. He is available most weekday mornings from 7-8AM to meet with residents in their homes to provide prompt supports for routine issues.


The hope is that this enhanced access to primary care will allow for quick relief of simple ailments. It is also anticipated that being able to arrange routine studies for a new issue will support a resident’s GP in evaluating any changes to underlying chronic conditions.


Prompt in-house evaluation should also greatly reduce the dependence on ER or walk-in clinics for acute issues when a resident’s GP is unavailable. Although this program is not intended to replace a resident’s regular GP, we are hopeful that it will support and supplement the traditional GP-patient relationship.


Dr. Milne looks forward to meeting you for whatever issues you’re hopeful to have addressed! If you have a concern, simply notify the facility nurses, who are in contact with Dr. Milne each morning.

The Cove Retirement Living offers a wide range of activities and social engagements. Residents will have opportunities for exercise, arts, culture, and making new friends. Our community is designed to encourage personal growth and the pursuit of an enriched life. Residents will enjoy the companionship of others with similar interests.

We invite you to come and visit the Cove Retirement Living, and discover for yourself what makes our community so special.

Our Services

Facilities

Williston House is our original 32 unit Retirement Living seniors’ complex with an above -ground sheltered and heated pathway connected to the Cove. Also included is a new entertainment room with organized activities and concerts.

Rideout House is our 50 unit expansion opened February 2019. It is connected to Williston House with a new main entrance and has a breath-taking view from the dining room of the Sydney Harbour.

What is Retirement Living?

Filling A Need: Retirement Living is a combination of housing, personalized support services and health care in a non-institutional setting. This concept is designed to respond to the individual needs of seniors who require assistance with certain activities of daily living, but do not need the level of health care provided in a skilled long term care
facility.
