"We feel we have hit the jackpot by having such a wonderful, pleasant, caring team taking care of us and the building. They take pride in their work and it shows by how clean, neat, and tidy all areas of the building are as they most certainly go above and beyond... We truly believe it would be extremely hard to find another place with these high caliber employees. Their positive, friendly and pleasant attitudes tend to pass onto others. We are happy and feel safe here due to their extra caring efforts."

"After five years at The Plaza, I would like to express my appreciation to Killam for the various social activities offered to the tenants. My granddaughters participated in the seasonal parties hosted by the resident managers and had fun every time. I looked forward to attending the pot luck suppers held in the lounge which gave those that attended an opportunity to chat and share a meal. My all time favorite was the yoga classes, held twice a week for six weeks/twice a year. Scattered in between were various exercise workouts which I normally would not have had the opportunity to try. So I would have to say, there's always something entertaining happening at The Plaza!"
