Long-term care provides professional nursing services around the clock to people who are no longer able to stay at home safely.
This not-for-profit provider offers on its site a continuum of high-quality health, housing and wellness programs while nurturing a sense of community.
Residents are encouraged and supported to live as independently and fully as possible. We are committed to providing excellent person-centred care, working together with each resident to understand and help meet their needs with dignity and compassion.
The Gentle Care philosophy underlies our care for residents with dementia. Since family members and friends play an important role in the health and well-being of their loved ones, we value and appreciate their involvement, along with each resident’s, in the care provided and in our community.
KinVillage West Court has 100 publicly subsidized long-term care beds. All rooms are single occupancy.
