Welcome to The Village Of Wentworth Heights

Hamilton's Unique Seniors Care Community

Concept

The Village of Wentworth Heights is Hamilton'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 Wentworth Heights, 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	Wentworth Heights Long Term Care Facility (LTC) is a 120 bed Ministry of Health licensed facility. Access to the LTC facility is managed by the Community Care Access Centre. The LTC facility will have four 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 Area 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	Wentworth Heights Retirement Home is a 150 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 Wentworth Heights is a 50 unit seniors apartment complex 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.
