The Village of Tansley Woods

Welcome to The Village Of Tansley Woods

Burlington's Unique Seniors Care Community

The Village Of Tansley Woods

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.

Concept

The Village of Tansley Woods is Burlington's unique continuum of care community for seniors offering a full range of care support levels. As the level of care which an individual requires may change with the passage of time, the resident will not be forced to uproot to a new facility at a different location - a move that often disruptive, if not traumatic. At Tansley Woods, the resident will merely move to a different level of care within the Village. Tansley Woods continuum of care will also allow spouses to remain together instead of being separate 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

Tansley Woods Long Term Care Facility (LTC) is a 144 bed Ministry of Health licensed facility. Access to the LTC facility is managed by the Community Care Access Centre. The LTC facility will have five separate specialized care units, called "home areas".

	The Active Dementia Care Home Area for persons with Alzheimers and related dementia who are wandering or physically active.
	The Advanced Physical 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.
	The Advanced Physical Care Home Areas (2) for persons who are cognitively alert and whose care needs are primarily physical in nature. One of these home areas also includes a unit for young adults where their unique recreational and social needs can be met.
	The Behaviour Management Home Area for persons whose care needs are of a behavioural nature.

Phase II

Tansley Woods Retirement Home is a 200 bed retirement home offering ground floor patio suites for relatively independent seniors and including a Supportive Care Floor for seniors experiencing mild to moderate dementia. The opening of the Retirement Home is planned in 2-3 years.

Phase III

The Residences of Tansley Woods are two 50 unit seniors apartment complexes for independent who would like the comfort and security of being connected with the care community. Residents may choose from a variety of services including housekeeping, meals, healthcare assistance. The opening of the Residence is planned for 3-4 years.
