About The Elliott Community

Nestled in the heart of Guelph, Ontario, at 170 Metcalfe Street, The Elliott Community sits within a vibrant city known for its strong sense of community, green spaces, and welcoming neighbourhoods. This not-for-profit, charitable organization has built a long-standing reputation in Guelph for treating every resident with dignity and respect, offering a place that truly feels like home rather than just a place to live. Whether you are exploring options for yourself or helping a loved one find the right fit, The Elliott Community stands out as a place where independence is celebrated and care is delivered with genuine compassion.

Living Options & Care Levels

One of the greatest strengths of The Elliott Community is its ability to support residents across many stages of life. For those who are active and self-sufficient but want the comfort and connection of a supportive environment, Independent Living offers the freedom to live on your own terms within a caring community. As needs evolve, Assisted Living provides a thoughtful level of support that helps residents maintain their routines and quality of life without giving up their sense of self. For those who require more comprehensive, around-the-clock support, Long-Term Care is available on site, meaning residents never have to uproot themselves or leave a community they have come to know and love. This continuum of care means that families can take comfort knowing their loved one will be supported through life’s changes, all within the same trusted home.

What You'll Love About Living Here

Life at The Elliott Community is full of opportunities to connect, explore, and enjoy each day. The on-site café, known as The Hub, provides a relaxed gathering spot where residents can share a coffee, catch up with neighbours, or simply enjoy a quiet moment. For those who love to get out and about, organized excursions and outings bring residents together to experience the broader Guelph community and beyond, keeping life feeling fresh and engaging. Residents who want to give back will appreciate the volunteer opportunities available, which allow them to contribute meaningfully and stay connected to a sense of purpose. When it comes to personal care and a little pampering, the on-site spa and hair salon offers a convenient and welcoming space to feel your best. There is even an Elliott General Store on site, making everyday shopping accessible without the need to travel. Together, these shared spaces and programs create a lively, inclusive atmosphere where residents are encouraged to stay active, build friendships, and live fully.
