Our Perspective

How we see Hazelton Place Retirement Residence - Verve Senior Living

One of the most notable features of this residence is the spaciousness of the lounges and three dining rooms. Hazelton Place focuses on offering a variety of activities and attractions to bring residents together and facilitate a lifestyle that is as active (or as quiet) as you might want. The area is rife with history including U of T buildings, and it has been recently reinvigorated, with many new shops and outdoor cafes, etc.

Spectacular retirement home in the heart of Yorkville, not far from the Royal Ontario Museum and a host of other Toronto attractions, including shopping, restaurants, bookstores, galleries, etc. Care ranges from independent to assisted living, with bathing assistance and dressing assistance included for those requiring this help; health services include catheter care and other more personal needs.

Hazelton Place is ideal for those who still want to be where the living is vibrant. People feel at home soon after moving here. You won't have any trouble getting people to visit you here. There's so much to do inside and out of this well-appointed residence in the heart of Toronto.
