A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
St. Elizabeth Village vs. Parkland Ancaster

ST. ELIZABETH VILLAGE

There are many great things to say about St. Elizabeth Village, but one unique aspect of this community is residents' ability to leverage the market value of the home they purchase, through the community's life lease program. Given that real estate values rise consistently in Hamilton (especially on the mountain) this gives you the best of both worlds: the security and freedom of 55 plus living, along with the equity you'll build up from investing in your home here.

PARKLAND ANCASTER

Having worked with Parkland for several years now, we’re impressed with their combination of exceptional lifestyle and amenities with a family feeling. With its breadth of lifestyles possible (apartments through memory care), Parkland Ancaster will be another Parkland retirement residence that “has it all” for Hamilton-area seniors.

ST. ELIZABETH VILLAGE

My aunt lives there, and I visit her frequently. It's a nice place with lots of activities.

Gated community that is absolutely lovely. The light displays are wonderful for the entire family. Staff does a great job!

St. Elizabeth's Village is a local 55+ retirement community in Hamilton, Ontario. They run several free events during the year to help support charities in the community. The Village After Dark - Halloween Celebration: It’s a free, all-ages event that collects non-perishable food donations for Hamilton Food Share. It grows larger every year with a scare walk, a light show set to music, and a haunted hay ride! The Holiday Stroll: It's a winter wonderland of dazzling lights and festive music. Those are just 2 examples of the many fun-filled, free activities that you'll find at St. Elizabeth's. There are more to discover. If you're 55+ they also have beautiful new homes available for purchase. What a wonderful place!

Beautiful neighbourhood up in Hamilton Mountain. They have decorated it for Halloween, and it is so nice to see the work they have done. A quiet and peaceful vibe when you enter the village.

Clean and tidy. My aunt likes it.

PARKLAND ANCASTER

Nice place. Visited my grandparents, and we had dinner.

My 90-year-old mom needed a respite stay after minor surgery over the holidays. With next to no time and being very picky, I reached out to Parkland..specifically Laurie. Their attention to detail, concerns, and kindness were amazing. She stayed for a month and was treated with respect and kindness while she had time to heal in a safe and happy environment. Her room was modern, clean, and easy to manage. She enjoyed the food and, once more mobile, went to meals and enjoyed the selections. I’m thankful to have had such a lovely experience for my mom.

Parkland Ancaster is a well-designed space that thoughtfully accommodates different levels of lifestyle and care needs. During the process of moving our mum in, the communication, responsiveness, and attention we received were excellent and reassuring. Unfortunately, after she moved in, that level of communication dropped off. ... Overall, the space itself is lovely, but I’m sharing this so others can adjust expectations.

Parkland is absolutely beautiful! They cover every base, and it is a luxurious environment that feels like a resort. Laurie Meyer assisted us with a tour and answered all of our questions. She is so friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Her energy was warm and incredibly welcoming. We are so grateful!!

Parkland Ancaster is a wonderful community that provides exceptional care. The staff are caring, compassionate, and engaged in supporting the transition to call Parkland your new home. Parkland has truly thought of all the details to age in place and provide accessible care.
