At the Village of Humber Heights, life is organized around Schlegel’s Village model, which emphasizes community, relationships, and meaningful daily living. The design, centered around a Town Square and Main Street, creates natural opportunities for people to connect with neighbours, staff, and visitors throughout the day. Rather than an institution, Humber Heights feels like a small town where people can gather, participate in village life, and easily feel engaged. The focus is not only on care, but on purpose, belonging, and daily quality of life.
What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?
What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?
Your new home will be fully prepared for your arrival day. Our Move-In Coordinator will guide you through the logistics, answer any questions you may have, and ensure your requests are completed in a timely manner-such as picture hanging, mounting your TV, or other setup needs. They will also make sure your TV and phone are working, so you can settle in and relax right away. Over the first few days, our management team will personally introduce themselves to get to know you and learn more about your preferences for recreation, dining, and more.
When someone moves in, the transition is supported by both the team and the resident welcoming committee members. Shared meals, warm gathering spaces, and the rhythm of daily village life make it easier for new residents to quickly feel at home in their surroundings. Team members learn residents’ preferences, routines, and interests so new people can feel comfortable and confident. Opportunities to participate in activities, programs, and everyday conversations help residents build connections and quickly develop a sense of belonging within the village.

When does a resident typically need to move units or communities?
A move is recommended if care needs increase beyond what can be safely supported in the current suite. Even then, we encourage independence and choice every step of the way.
How does your community help with the transition?
If a move is recommended, additional help can be added based on a nurse’s assessment and suite availability. Our team supports residents and families through the transition, ensuring comfort and continuity of care.
Can outside support be brought in?
Yes. Residents are welcome to arrange their own outside support, and we also offer in-house Parkland Plus PSW services for added convenience and peace of mind.
One of the strengths of the Village of Humber Heights is the continuum of care available within the same campus. Residents can access a range of supports, including retirement living, assisted living, memory care, and even long-term care. As needs change, care plans can be adjusted so residents continue to receive the appropriate level of support. This approach allows many residents to remain within a familiar environment, surrounded by the people and community they already know, which can make transitions easier for both residents and families. It’s also ideal for couples whose care needs differ.

It’s ideal if you appreciate connection, participation, and the feeling of being part of a neighbourhood where residents, families, and team members interact regularly.

Many people are surprised by how different the environment feels from what they expect of a traditional seniors’ residence. The Village design, with its Town Square, Main Street, and shared gathering spaces, creates an atmosphere that feels more like a small community than a care setting. The layout naturally encourages conversation, activities, and everyday interactions. This helps people remain socially connected and engaged in village life.
