My uncle is looking at renting an apartment at Rotary Villas. The main reason is that the meals are provided in the cost of the rent. It is quite expensive, so he is wondering if the meals are quality meals.  
Does anyone out there know if the meals are good? Or ho hum?

I'm not sure how the meals are. But I'm sure if you call you can get a tour and he can try out a lunch or supper to see how it is. I'm pretty sure they have a good chef there.

*Please note I do have an office located within Rotary Villas but am not employed by Rotary Villas and the following is a personal opinion*  
 
As someone who has not only toured but dined at Assisted Living Communities in Brandon, Winnipeg, and across Ontario Rotary Villas is a leader in dining. Providing quality in house Chef prepared meals daily that boast a local theme and real ingredients. Being able to wake up in the morning and join new friends for a freshly prepared breakfast as opposed to continental or no breakfast is one of my favorite services that Rotary Villas provides. I personally have eaten many meals at Rotary and am yet to be disappointed.  
 
If you and your uncle would like to give the food a test I am positive that if you call/email and explain your potential move and that food is a top priority, they would gladly arrange a free tour and meal at your convenience.  
 
By calling 204-725-1340 or contacting them through their website rotaryvillas.ca one of their team members will set this up with you!  

Like A.G. said, they offer free tours and lots of info.  
 
Very similar to Riverheights Terrace and Victoria Landing with chef prepared meals tailored to seniors. I had the opportunity to join an elderly relative for lunch and was impressed with the quality of meals.  
 
Tell him to make an appointment to see if this lifestyle is for him. I'm sure he can try the food offerings.  
 
The menus are posted on all the above places websites. I know it's just a menu, but gives an idea of the variety.

Wow! the menu looks fantastic! Thanks for all of the advice.  
We'll give them a call.

Rotary Villas, Victoria Landing, and Riverheights Terrace all provide a similar service.  
 
I would suggest booking an appointment for a tour and meal at each of them, as they all have their own "feel" to the building.

I would look into Victoria landings or riverheights Terrance they are way nicer and more options. I've ate at all them and the meals are much better at riverheights and Victoria landings. Rotary villa has small servings of they are a big eater. Plus Victoria landings is closer to hospitals and pharmacies and coffee shops!

I've eaten there a number of times. Generally the meals are somewhat mediocre in our experience. Won't fault them (they are okay), but the meal titles have been the best part.

One of the great things at Rotary Villas is that there is an entire commercial section open to the public as well as residents with full service Dr. Clinic (with walk in) and a pharmacy (Flatland Drugs) right inside the doors. No need to battle cold winter mornings to get your scripts or see your Dr.

Many services at Rotary Villas that are not available elsewhere.

My grandma moved into Rotary Villas about 2 months ago. She loves it there, she has her bad days where she doesn't come out of her suite. But I truly feel like it was the best decision for her to move in. She doesn't have to worry about making her own meals or have to do her own housekeeping. There are certain meals that my grandma doesn't like but that is just because she isn't a fan of the meal itself, most of the meals however she loves and more importantly loves having the company of all the other residents.

Just on a side note folks should be aware that although this facility is called "Rotary Villas" it has no direct connection to Rotary International: the service club we all know. The facility only has the clubs permission to use their name to gain exposure. I bring this up as there are other facilities in Brandon owned and run by service clubs. Again: Rotary Villas is a private, for profit company which receives no direction from the Rotary Club of Brandon or any other Rotary Club. Just FYI...
