We have had an incredible experience having our two young kids at the Cridge in their daycare programs. Very lucky to have this organization in our lives and these wonderful people caring for our kids. Thank you to the whole childcare team for your amazing work! We love the place.

I can't say enough about how impressive The Cridge is!
My father has been living in the senior's centre for some months now. I came from out of town to visit for a week and was amazed at everything about his residence. The staff is so great... caring and fun and efficient. The food is beyond excellent. Everywhere I look there are smiles and satisfaction. I had the opportunity to talk with other residents and the common response was how lucky they felt to be living at The Cridge. Every day my dad says "I am so fortunate."
There is some secret ingredient here that I can't quite put my finger on... but it's working, and other senior's centres should take note!
Thank you to all the staff and also to the surrounding community in Victoria that supports this one-of-a-kind facility!!!

I was in the Dovetail house program for the cridge. And all I can tell you is Adam and Candice are some of the biggest con artists you'll ever meet in your life. They use this organization like their own piggy bank. Not only do they make the tenant's lives a living hell. Nobody can report on them because everybody's so worried about losing their housing. But unfortunately, the amount of abuse we had to go through before we even got there and then on top of that to be belittled and disrespected and talked down to you by the people that were supposed to help you is a really sad situation. If you want to donate your money, please do not donate to this organization until they get new leadership..

Excellent opportunity for people to volunteer. The Cridge offers such a wide range of services to families, and what I have seen of the day activity centre for seniors left me so happy: caring and creative staff, rec leaders going out of their way to bring stimulating and interesting activities for their group. If you can't volunteer, consider donating! Their shelter staff is also tremendous.

While it may be a fantastic center for the everyday occasionally difficult children, if your child has behavior or temper issues as most pandemic kids seems to have perhaps consider your options. Was not the place for mine. Regret my decision to enroll him here greatly.

The time here has resulted in a net worsening of the behavior and a really negative experience for everyone involved. Do not recommend for children when behavior accommodation needs they do not have the staffing or training to properly manage it.

The manager of Children's Services has a duplicitous nature! Says things and pretends it was a miscommunication or misunderstanding when caught. There were three occasions where she flat-out lied. She threw a few staffers under the bus. So I would not put it past her to do the same when speaking to the staff about parents. Not sure how they keep staff at this establishment. Poor leadership! Good luck if you choose this place!

Great outreach...COVID has made things very challenging. Seniors food could be more heart smart...that needs improvement but it is difficult for staff at this time...they work so very hard with these restrictions. I take my hat off to them..they are doing a good job!
