Our independent living suites provide a full-service retirement living experience for people looking to enjoy all the perks of an independent lifestyle, but with healthy gourmet meals included and vibrant wellness services and care options available. Our support services—delivered by friendly, long-standing staff—are there to provide you with the peace of mind that we can accommodate your changing needs over time so you can comfortably age in place.
We recently added three storeys of brand-new independent living suites in one-bedroom layouts to our retirement community! The new wing of our residence features brand-new amenities, including a fireplace lounge, bistro for snacks and beverages, and a lovely outdoor terrace.
Seniors’ Apartments and Townhomes
Ideal for active and independent older adults who do not require care support, our seniors’ apartments feature full kitchens, a valued feature for individuals who still desire to cook for themselves. You have the flexibility to choose from one- or two-bedroom apartments, all featuring well-appointed layouts, and can also enjoy à la carte meal options at an additional fee.
Uniquely, we also offer seniors’ townhomes on the grounds that are approximately 1,100 sq. ft. in size and include two spacious bedrooms, a full kitchen, and in-suite laundry facilities. Ideal for recent downsizers, couples, or individuals looking for more personal space, townhome residents also enjoy their own private driveway, garage, and patio, as well as monthly housekeeping.
Flexible care and support
To ensure personalized support, our Care Assist program—an offering of à la carte wellness services and all-inclusive care packages—further provides you with the flexibility to add or remove services.
