Our mission: To provide holistic health care in a home environment, located within an internal neighbourhood design that promotes a caring community, with emphasis on optimal health and life purpose for each resident.

The Village of Humber Heights is Etobicoke's unique continuum of care community for seniors offering a full range of care support levels. As the level of care which residents require may change with the passage of time, residents will not be forced to uproot to a new facility at a different location - a move that is often stressful, if not traumatic. At Humber Heights, residents will merely move to a different level of care within the Village. Humber Heights continuum of care community allows spouses to remain together instead of being separated should a sudden illness occur.

To help make the continuum of care concept work, our community is designed as a Village. Like a traditional Village, we have a variety of common areas and amenities along our Main Street and in the Village Square. However, because the Village is indoors, it remains comfortable in any weather - winter or summer, rain or shine. The continuum of care will be built in three phases:

Phase I

Humber Heights Long Term Care Facility (LTC) is a 192 bed Ministry of Health licensed facility. Access to the LTC facility is managed by the Community Care Access Centre. The LTC facility will have six separate specialized care units, called "home areas":

bulletThe Active Dementia Care Home Areas (2) for persons with Alzheimers and related dementia who are wandering and physically active.
bulletThe Advanced Dementia Care Home Area for persons with Alzheimers and related dementia who are no longer wandering or physically active and whose care needs are primarily of a physical nature.
bulletThe Advanced Physical Care Home Areas (2) for persons who are cognitively alert and whose care needs are primarily physical in nature. This home area also includes a unit for young adults where their unique recreational and social needs can be met.
bulletThe Special Needs Home Area for persons whose care needs are of a behavioural nature.

Phase II

Humber Heights Retirement Home is a 196 bed retirement home offering ground floor patio suites for relatively independent seniors and including a Supportive Care Floor for seniors experiencing mild to moderate confusion, and an Assisted Care Floor for seniors whose care needs are primarily physical in nature. The opening of the Retirement Home is planned for October 2007.

Phase III

The Residences of Humber Heights is a 60 unit seniors apartment complex for independent seniors who would like the comfort and security of being connected with the care community. Residents will receive 2 meals per day (lunch and dinner) and weekly housekeeping.  A 24-hour call bell for emergencies is provided.  Full access to all amenities and events on Main Street.  The opening of the Residences is planned for October 2007.
