I am writing in regards a negative experience which I should have never been a part of. This place is a true God send for the neighborhood seniors who enjoy a moment away from the norm of their limited lifestyle. However, this review is about miscommunication and what some will do to disregard their so-called professional position. I believe a facility which caters to the senior citizen's of Ontario should provide a sense of clarity when revealing what is required of it's constituents for the purpose of running a system for the greater good. It is with a solemn heart that I write without creating confusion to the already senior citizen who is only trying to partake and acclimate to a comforting environment. This is directed exclusively to management, who obviously have a difficult time managing a facility with such exclusive clientele. I believe it is a valuable concern for a facility who serves an important group of people who are already dealing with society's oversight of their existence. Everyone on this planet will in fact partake in the process of growing old, if their lifestyle is not impeded by their own ineptness through shallow decisions. The staff of this facility should all be one on the same page when providing a service to the elderly. If there is to be expectations by the facility geared towards the elderly, by all means they should be posted for all concerned, otherwise you are creating a problem as oppose to avoiding one. Life's ambiguities do not suffice one in the stage of quiescence. In closing, staff management is holding an important position of affluence which influence those beneath your current status; have the foresight to speak with a sense of provisional knowledge for those who may look up to your leadership.

I'm writing this regarding rental of their event hall facility rather than services for seniors. All in all, this is a nice facility for events of up to 150 persons. We did a 1950's-themed, surprise birthday party here. We were able to have a DJ set up for several hours of music. Very nice, one of the most cost-effective options we could find. My only criticism is that while they do offer kitchen facilities and they do provide ice, they don't provide a refrigerator. You have to rely on ice chests only. I understand why they don't let you use their refrigerators, but why not provide at least a small one especially for those renting the hall? (One day's rental fees could pay for one). Not a place for wild parties, It's city-owned so alcohol is not allowed. In our case, that wasn't a problem. You are responsible for the conduct of your guests and for leaving the place clean and in order. Overall this was the nicest, most cost-effective place we were able to find in the area for our party. I would recommend it. read more

The senior center is a very nice place. It's clean and fresh all the time. Great place for seniors to party and enjoy company. They have a nice hall for events. The only thing is that I do not recommend it for weddings, and Sweet 15/16. The hall has super strict rules. So strict you can't even enjoy planning or enjoy the day of the event. You will be full of anxiety and in fear that one error will ruin your event. First the hall is really hard to get maybe because it's really is affordable. You have to be in a raffle three months early only according to the day you want to hold the event. When you submit your application make sure you put the exact amount of guest you want. Even though it says estimate they actually want exact. Make sure you know the exact number of tables and the way they are arranged. And most importantly don't have any alcohol at the center because they do stop the party with police force. read more

The Ontario Senior Center is a senior center that is conveniently located and extremely well run. The senior center serves meals Monday through Friday for $2.50 or a donation. It has a gym that's free for persons 50 and older to use. It also has a gameroom with four pooltables, checkerboard tables, and a dartboard. As well as numerous activities throughout the week this center has awesome excursions for adventurous seniors to exlore. The Ontario Senior Center is definitly a place that's worth checking out. Note that OSC's staff is extremely knowlegeable to answer questions that seniors have and give referals to seniors who need them read more
