• Humber Heights Continuum of Care Community

  The Village of Humber Heights is Etobicoke's unique continuum of care community for seniors offering a full range of care support levels. As the level of care which residents require may change with the passage of time, residents will not be forced to uproot to a new facility at a different location - a move that is often stressful, if not traumatic. At Humber Heights, residents will merely move to a different level of care within the Village. Humber Heights continuum of care community allows spouses to remain together instead of being separated should a sudden illness occur. To help make the continuum of care concept work, our community is designed as a Village. Like a traditional Village, we have a variety of common areas and amenities along our Main Street and in the Village Square. However, because the Village is indoors, it remains comfortable in any weather - winter or summer, rain or shine. The continuum of care will be built in three phases: PHASE I Humber Heights Long Term Care Facility (LTC) is a 192 bed Ministry of Health licensed facility. Access to the LTC facility is managed by the Community Care Access Centre. The LTC facility will have six separate specialized care units, called "home areas". PHASE 2 Humber Heights Retirement Home is a 196 bed retirement home offering ground floor patio suites for relatively independent seniors and including a Supportive Care Floor for seniors experiencing mild to moderate confusion, and an Assisted Care Floor for seniors whose care needs are primarily physical in nature. PHASE 3 The Residences of Humber Heights is a 60 unit seniors apartment complex for independent seniors who would like the comfort and security of being connected with the care community. Residents will receive 2 meals per day (lunch and dinner) and weekly housekeeping. A 24-hour call bell for emergencies is provided. Full access to all amenities and events on Main Street.

Among the many hallmarks of life at The Village of Humber Heights, the protection of seniors' health is paramount. Part of Schlegel Villages, Humber Heights offers a range of care from independent living to a memory care neighbourhood. In this area, residents with dementia receive some of the best care possible in the province of Ontario, thanks to Schlegel's partnership with the Research Institute for Aging at the University of Waterloo.

Like other Schlegel Villages, this residence is built around the concept of an old-fashioned small town. Residents can walk down the "main street" to the "town square," where there is a library, an indoor café, a general store, a chapel and more. All of this creates, in fact, a bustling "village centre" where "old friends" meet up, chat and visit. Every day is like that, in this seniors' village.

Staff here focus on offering resident-centred care, where the needs of senior clients come first. When you read employee reviews of working at the Heights, many call it "an amazing place to work." That collective attitude helps make this an amazing place to live, for the seniors here.
