Wing Kei Greenview nursing home was founded in 1996 by a group of devoted and compassionate Christians who aimed to provide exceptional, culturally appropriate, and loving care for seniors. Their working approach is based on an aging-in-place model which enables them to understand that a continuum of compassion and care is needed to meet and improve the health needs of seniors.

According to this model, they focus on providing that continuum of care to the population while keeping them as independent as possible. For this purpose, they allow their population to interact with their loved ones regularly, make their decisions, and travel freely to wherever they want to. In their team, various personnel work together including caregivers, families, residents, support staff, healthcare professionals, volunteers, and physicians.

Customer Reviews

” A family member has been cared for by Wing Kei Greenview (WKG) for just less than a year, what made it stand out from the care homes/retirement communities my family members had been previously is that WKG offers meals specifically catering for those liking Asian style cooking. Also, many of the staff and residents there speak either Mandarin or Cantonese, which makes this place particularly suitable to elderly folks of Chinese descent. Staff there are well qualified, courteous and caring, the time I have interacted with them I felt they cared about the quality of work and care they provide, and that they ensured things were followed up and through. I feel comfortable that my family members are taken care of by WKG and recommend them to others. The only thing I was not crazy about WKG was and still is that the layout of the building is designed like a medical institution rather than like a retirement resort. This is purely aesthetic. Well done Wing Kei Greenview. Thank you all. ” – Alford Lau

” This place is perfect for seniors. The staff there are very sincere and have good patience. They are very professional. ” – Colin Keung

Customer Reviews

” Providence care center was such a breath of fresh air in Long Term Care facilities!!!! I cannot say enough about the outstanding and courteous care my mother received here. She was not always gracious to the staff however the staff still treated her like gold. The facility is beautiful and the food is appealing and appetizing. My mother came alive here for her short stay. She came after almost two years at George Boyack where she had fallen into deep depression never leaving her room or even getting dressed during the day. Three days into coming to providence she came ‘alive’. Dressing every day and going to all meals in the dining room. She was smiling and her old feisty self. The Jacobsen family is so grateful to Providence for this beautiful change and the fact that although she was only a resident for three months….they were the best she’d had in 2.5 years!! Bravo Providence Care Centre and all the amazing staff!!! A warm and Heartfelt Thank You! From Carmen Jacobsen’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren!!❤️❤️ ” – Glenna J

” The nurses here are wonderful for my grandmother. They are very patient and understanding with her dementia and every time I visit her they are so happy and cheerful. The people at the door doing covid screening are always polite and friendly while being patient about any questions. ” – Ken M

It’s not easy seeing a loved one go through these days but I am thankful for all the staff at this facility that makes it a positive and supportive environment. They have treated my mother with absolute kindness and are very skilled in this kind of care. Thank you all for what you do daily to provide support at these very emotionally challenging times. ” – Eamonn Linehan
