Ottawa’s Duke of Devonshire Retirement Residence receives perfect score in ORCA Accreditation (Ontario Retirement Communities Association)

The Duke of Devonshire Retirement Residence located at 1095 Carling Avenue is part of the locally owned and operated Dymon Group of Companies.  Located just steps away from the Ottawa Hospital – Civic Campus, the Duke of Devonshire Retirement Residence has been recently recognized with a perfect score in its recent ORCA accreditation.  

ORCA is a voluntary, non-profit organization that sets professional standards, carries out inspections, and provides accreditation for worthy retirement residences in the Province of Ontario.  Being accredited by ORCA provides residents and their families assurance that a particular retirement residence is safe, well-maintained, professionally operated and provides a pleasant living experience for seniors.  In the absence of government mandated regulations and standards, ORCA accreditation demonstrates a significant commitment to quality and accountability to residents, employees and the public.   

Chief Operating Officer, Patricia Sousa BA, CIM, has overall responsibility for the delivery of the exceptional lifestyle experience at both of Dymon’s Duke of Devonshire Retirement Residence and Lord Lansdowne Retirement Residence (located across from Lansdowne Park in the heart of the Glebe).  During her 30 year career, Pat has been relentlessly focused on delivering service excellence within the retirement residence industry and she epitomizes the exacting standards established by ORCA.  Pat has been involved with every aspect of the industry, including her past role as President of ORCA, and for many years Pat was responsible for carrying out retirement residence accreditations.   

“We are exceptionally pleased with the results of our accreditation with ORCA” said Glen Luckman, Dymon’s CEO.  “It is great to be recognized after all of the hard work that Pat and her team have dedicated to making the Duke of Devonshire Retirement Residence such a wonderful assisted living retirement residence.”  “My mother is a resident at the Duke of Devonshire and she can’t say enough about how great the staff are and how well the residence is operated.”
