Nestled in a peaceful residential neighbourhood near downtown Brampton, Imo’s Sunnyside Retirement Home offers seniors a place where comfort, care, and a true sense of belonging come together. This family-operated home at 97 Curtis Drive has been welcoming residents for over 17 years, guided by owners Dulcie and Robert O’Connor, whose personal and professional backgrounds in elder care have shaped every aspect of life at Sunnyside.
Imo’s Sunnyside Retirement Home is designed to support seniors at different stages of their journey. For those who are ready to step away from the responsibilities of maintaining a home and simply enjoy their retirement years, the residence offers a warm and attentive environment as a full-time retirement home. For families and seniors who need a shorter-term solution, perhaps while recovering from a health event or while a primary caregiver takes a break, respite care is also available. This means that whether a senior needs a temporary stay or is looking for a permanent new home, Imo’s Sunnyside can provide the right level of support at the right time.
Daily life at Imo’s Sunnyside is shaped by the small things that make a big difference. Residents gather together for meals in the dining room, sharing conversation and enjoying prepared food without the effort of cooking or cleaning up. This daily ritual of coming together over a shared table helps build friendships and gives each day a pleasant, familiar rhythm. The home also takes care of housekeeping, so residents can let go of household chores and focus on what they enjoy most. For those who want to stay active and feel their best, a fitness and wellness centre is available on site, offering a space to move, stretch, and maintain physical wellbeing. Together, these amenities create a lifestyle that balances comfort, connection, and good health.
Families often describe the search for a retirement home as one of the most emotional decisions they will ever make. What draws so many to Imo’s Sunnyside is the feeling that this is not simply a facility, but a home with genuine warmth behind it. Dulcie O’Connor spent more than 20 years caring for older adults through the City of Toronto, and that depth of experience is felt in how the home is run. She and Robert are not distant administrators but hands-on owners who understand what seniors need because they have dedicated their lives to it. For adult children, there is real peace of mind in knowing that the people looking after their parent genuinely care. For seniors themselves, there is comfort in being seen as an individual, not just a resident. The personal attention and home-like atmosphere at Imo’s Sunnyside reflect a philosophy that aging well means being treated with dignity, warmth, and respect every single day. The home is also registered under the Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority, which provides families with an added layer of confidence and accountability.
