With more than 50 years of experience working alongside seniors, Westhills has built a reputation for putting residents first, honouring their right to independence, personal choice, and dignity every single day.
Westhills Care Centre is an accredited long-term care facility, offering full-time residential care for seniors who require ongoing support with daily living and health needs. As a long-term care home, Westhills provides a structured, consistent level of care within a safe and comfortable environment. The community is home to 160 residents across a three-storey building, and the spaces have been thoughtfully designed to feel like genuine neighbourhoods rather than institutional settings. Room options include both private and basic accommodations, each featuring a private entrance, a spacious bathroom, generous closet space, a large window, and a 43-inch UHD television. There are also specially designed rooms available for couples who wish to continue living together, as well as quiet rooms suited to residents with special care needs. Families visiting loved ones can make use of overnight accommodations in these quieter spaces when the situation calls for it. For those interested in applying to live at Westhills, the process begins through Ontario Health atHome, which can be reached at 310-2222 or at ontariohealthathome.ca. Their team helps prospective residents determine eligibility and navigate the transition.
Life at Westhills is shaped by the little details that make a place feel like home. The grounds are genuinely lovely, with two enclosed courtyards featuring raised gardens where residents can spend time outdoors in a safe and accessible setting. Whether you enjoy tending to plants, sitting in the fresh air, or simply taking in the greenery, these spaces offer a peaceful retreat throughout the seasons. Laundry and dry cleaning services are available on-site, and in fact each floor has its own family laundry area, making it easy for residents and their loved ones to manage personal clothing with minimal fuss. Every floor also has a family kitchen, giving family members a comfortable, practical space to share a meal or a quiet moment together during visits. Resident Council Meetings bring the community together in a meaningful way, giving residents a voice in the life of their home and creating a sense of shared ownership over the environment they live in. A beauty shop on each floor means that looking and feeling your best is always within easy reach. And for larger gatherings and special occasions, Logan's Lounge offers a generous 3,000 square foot event space where residents and families can celebrate milestones and enjoy community events together.
Families who choose Westhills often speak to the sense of reassurance that comes from knowing their loved one is in a place that has been doing this work with care and commitment for over five decades. Accreditation reflects a formal commitment to meeting recognized standards of quality, and at Westhills that commitment is visible in how the home operates day to day. The environment is clean, safe, and consistently maintained, and the focus on resident dignity and personal choice means that people do not simply receive care here, they continue to live on their own terms. For adult children navigating the difficult process of finding the right care setting for a parent, Westhills offers the kind of stability and transparency that makes a hard decision feel more manageable. The presence of a Family Council alongside the Resident Council signals that family involvement is genuinely welcomed, not just accommodated.
