Insider reviews & perspectives
Comfort Life Review
Whitehorn Village is the kind of place we would call an oasis of good living. The building itself is a wonderfully clean, well-laid out location with a welcoming lobby, and featuring a beauty salon, an onsite bistro and bar, a games room, fitness studio, movie theatre, general store, and much more. With so much onsite, there are many different ways you can join in with people your own age here to make good times together.
Staff here, from administrators to care aides, say caring for elders is in their blood, and this is very apparent in the way they treat seniors, seen in the subtlest of gestures. There’s a clearly demonstrated attitude of service and the life enrichment programs particularly notable. Seniors who move here find that it’s also very inviting for family members and friends, who feel welcome to visit and enjoy the environment.
With a full continuum of care here, including assisted living and memory care, Whitehorn Village is welcoming to couples who have varying needs, and it’s an ideal place for those with memory loss or other onset of dementia. This community goes out of its way to help people transition out of a home that no longer suits them, into a lifestyle just right for the person you are now. You’ll enjoy everything from gardening, to interesting outings, to a regular happy hour, to occasional live music, to simple, small moments with others—or in the comfort of your suite. Dining here is said to be delicious, prepared by red seal chefs. Whitehorn Village gives you a lot to live for every day.

Dementia & Memory Care (definition)
Cost from $2,130
My loved one has dementia, now what do I do? When a family is faced with the journey of caring for someone with dementia, they know that on any given day it can be overwhelming, frustrating, and exhausting. At Whitehorn Village Retirement Community we recognize how important it is to not only support the person going through memory loss but also their loved ones. At Whitehorn Village we accommodate many levels of memory care, some residents with memory loss do well with prompting, reminding and redirection. Others require the added safety feature that our "Morning Star" memory care neighborhood will provide. Our Morning Star memory care is a safe living neighborhood of 23 suites with team members stationed around the clock. This neighborhood allows our residents to feel secure with familiar faces, routine, and fun daily activities. Every resident has their own private suite with washroom, and their own life enrichment program designed to help stimulate brain health. Keeping couples together whether it's in the same suite or separate suites (based on level of care) is important to us. Keeping life partners together is very achievable in our community. When you are the primary caregiver of a loved one that is experiencing dementia you already know the challenges that you face each day. You also need to know you do not have to do it on your own! At Whitehorn Village Retirement Community we are always available to help!
