Who are you as a community?

New Horizons Tower is a seniors community excelling in accommodation and services inspired by a foundation of love, hope and faith. NHT has established a legacy as one of the City's not-for-profit senior housing providers since 1974, committed to reinvesting in the community we serve to enhance and enrich the lives of seniors who choose to live in the heart of Bloordale Village. From gracious dining to new suites and lounges, residents are thriving at 1140 Bloor Street West.

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

As a Not For Profit, New Horizons Tower is uniquely situated to recommit and reinvest all resources back into the community - offering enhanced dining, a spotless community, additional activities programming, high staffing levels, and continue to improve with renovations and upgrades.

Residents (and their guests!) look forward to meals and special dinners at NHT, though many choose the location for the easy access and walkability of Bloordale Village. Walk-out to shopping on Bloor, and steps from the TTC, Dufferin Mall, Bloor Gladstone Library and Dufferin Grove park!

What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?

Many residents touring and moving to NHT are living independently; driving, travelling, shopping and cooking. No matter how independent you are, we recognize that any move is a big deal! Our Marketing Manager is here to guide you through the touring, application and moving process and can recommend additional resources.

Once you've arrived there are orientation goals and introductions to the features of your suite, community and other residents. We try to anticipate new resident-concerns but help is an open door or phone-call away!

But what we most often hear after someone moves is how warm and welcoming their neighbours are! Residents even formed their own committee with the goal of welcoming and orienting new residents to NHT.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

Residents choose NHT for straight forward reasons. Location, inherent advantage of a not-for-profit, an active-living community; and proactively for additional services and a continuum of care. They may have already tried a lunch or dinner and look forward to the dining experience.

They expect a clean building, quality dining, fitness, concerts&lectures, perhaps a choir, gaming or gardening group, and access to additional staff and wellness resources.

What surprises new residents is not the community's building and services, but the community of residents and staff. New friendships, belonging, and home.

The community that has developed at 1140 Bloor Street West is active, diverse, tolerant and vibrant, and above all, welcoming.
