Highland Place Retirement Residence offers four care options to meet seniors at whatever stage of life they are in. Independent Living is designed for older adults who are largely self-sufficient but want the ease of having meals, housekeeping, and social programming taken care of for them. Residents enjoy their own private suites while benefiting from the full range of community amenities and activities. Assisted Living is available for those who need a little extra help with daily tasks. The dedicated team of registered staff at Highland Place provides personalized support while always prioritizing each resident’s independence and dignity. For those recovering from surgery, an illness, or a hospital stay, Respite Care offers a short-term stay in a fully supportive environment, giving both seniors and their families a chance to rest and recharge. Highland Place is also registered as a Retirement Home, meaning it operates under the standards and oversight that give families added confidence in the quality of care provided.
Life at Highland Place is shaped by a thoughtful blend of comfort, good food, and genuine connection. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily in the dining room, and the on-site Bistro Café is open around the clock, offering a relaxed spot to enjoy coffee, tea, or a snack while taking in the view of the courtyard and gardens. Whether it is a quiet morning with a book or a lively conversation with a neighbour, the café serves as a natural gathering place for residents and visiting family members alike. Housekeeping and laundry or dry cleaning services mean that the practical side of daily life is looked after, freeing up time and energy for the things that matter most. The activity calendar at Highland Place is built for a range of interests and energy levels. Fitness classes, yoga, dance, and Drum Fit sessions keep residents moving, while gardening in the beautiful outdoor courtyard offers a more peaceful form of engagement. Excursions and outings bring a sense of adventure to everyday life, and on-site vendors make convenient shopping possible without leaving the community. Walking tours, movies, musical entertainment, and special speakers round out a program that keeps the mind and spirit as active as the body. Outdoor terraces and beautifully maintained gardens give residents inviting spaces to enjoy fresh air throughout the seasons. Wifi access throughout the community helps residents stay connected with family and friends near and far. For peace of mind at any hour, 24/7 emergency response is always in place.
