Our Perspective

How we see The Wellington

The Wellington offers a unique combination of affordability and luxury amenities in an older area of the city. This established community offers a built-in familiarity that Hamilton seniors will warm up to quickly. We love its holistic approach to senior living, from its pet-friendly policy to the staff, who bring a tell-tale enthusiasm to their work. The unique combination of independent living with long term care makes it ideal for couples with varying needs to stay together in one community.

The Wellington is strikingly beautiful in a first impression. The brightly lit, welcoming portico feels immediately like a place where we want to spend time. The lobby also has a mezzanine, which houses the library, and a tea room, compactly situated in the corner beside the welcome desk. Further inside, impressive features include a friendly games room, a hairdressing station, and more. The gazebo and gardens outside are accessible greenspaces ideal for friendly gatherings.

What truly makes or breaks any retirement home, though, is the people and the community they create together. As an established community, the staff and administration are well-experienced in building a quick rapport with newcomers. We’re struck by the obvious care that staff have for each community member and for each other. People working here bring a palpable enthusiasm to their work and they’re obviously supportive of those in their care.

Community’s Perspective

How The Wellington sees itself

Who are you as a community?

We believe in living retirement years to the fullest. The Wellington was designed with careful detail and special attention to the needs and requirements of our clientele. All the amenities you’ll ever want are right at your doorstep. A full range of special events, outings, and recreation programs are offered daily, catering to everyone’s interests and needs. Participate in a euchre or backgammon game or unleash your creativity in our card making and art classes. Take a leisurely tour in our specially equipped minibus or keep fit with our exercise programs… the choice is yours. Relax with a refreshing beverage in our fireside lounge, while enjoying the musical interludes provided on our grand piano or take a leisurely stroll around our beautifully landscaped grounds, with numerous gardens and patios for your enjoyment.

The Wellington provides all the comforts of home, and a whole lot more. We offer a variety of accommodation styles from bachelor, studio & one-bedroom suites with spacious closets and kitchenettes…all at affordable pricing. Best of all, with daily housekeeping services, and linens looked after, there’s no housework! The Wellington has been augmented with the most advanced emergency communication systems, all for your safety and peace of mind.

During the Pandemic..they protected residents like they were their own loved ones...keeping their Spirits up with music, dance and "Wacky Hair Days” posted regularly on Facebook. During the time when we were unable to visit ... the staff made regular Skype calls for the Residents.The Wellington turned out to be the best place for my Mother."
