What do you do differently or uniquely well?

The Shores of Port Credit also features a Senior Living Community thoughtfully designed for the freedom of independence, but with access to all the five-star services and amenities The Shores has to offer—from a golf simulator and swimming pool to movie theatre and wine cellar. Indulge in an impressive city skyline or Lake Ontario views, spacious suites with intelligent technology, and resort-style dining options. Experience a vibrant lifestyle designed so you can live your way, every day.

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

As evolving and varied as seniors may be, we all want our needs met in a certain way. At The Shores of Port Credit, we celebrate that. Though the types of support we offer are different, the level of respect and dignity we display is unwavering. We offer Independent Living (with the option to provide personalized support in the suite), Assisted Living, Memory Care and Respite stays. On your first day, you will be greeted with a welcome gift from The Shores which will include a resident handbook with helpful information to orient you to the Community. If you are inclined to be social, we make every effort to get to know you and provide you an ambassador to assist you as you embark on a new daily routine.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

We offer a continuum of care starting with our lifestyle apartments, to Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. We offer access to nurses & PSWs 24 hours a day for peace of mind in case of emergency. And contrary to popular believe, Retirement Living does give you the independence you enjoy - we just do all the heavy lifting for you.
