Living Options & Care Levels

Vilnius Manor offers independent living for seniors aged 55 and older. This care level is designed for older adults who are able to manage their own daily routines and personal care, but who want the ease, security, and social connection that comes with living in a supportive residential community. Residents live in their own private apartments and enjoy the freedom to come and go as they please, while benefiting from shared spaces, community programming, and the peace of mind that comes from being surrounded by neighbours and staff. Both one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment options are available. One-bedroom suites are approximately 570 square feet, while two-bedroom suites offer a more spacious 965 square feet. Applications are accepted for both market-rate and subsidized units, making this community accessible to a range of financial circumstances. To qualify, applicants must be 55 years of age or older and of Lithuanian heritage.
