Do I have to buy a unit to live at The Wellington?

The Wellington gives you freedom to choose. All our supported living suites are available on an annual lease, so you can place your assets in income-generating investments. If you want to buy, some of the privately-owned condominium units are occasionally available. The choice is yours - contact us for more information if you want to rent or buy.

How many supported living suites do you have available?

On August 1, 2007, we officially opened 86 sparkling new supported living suites - although we've already started leasing some of the units. Given the widespread interest in our facility and the high demand for these easy-care, supported living homes, we expect to complete leases on all of them fairly quickly.

How big are your suites?

Our suites range in size from our smallest studio apartments - approximately 400 square feet - to our Evening Star, Prairie Rose and Primrose suites, which offer more than 1,000 square feet of living space. We have studio suites, one-bedroom units, one-bedroom with den, two-bedroom, and two-bedroom with den. All units have cooking facilities, safety features and walk-in showers. The larger units have full kitchens, balconies or patios, and laundry rooms.

Can I bring a pet?

Yes. Small pets - a cat or a dog under 40 pounds - are welcome.

What is supported living?

Supported living is for seniors who can handle most of their day-to-day living requirements but who appreciate assistance with home care and meal preparation. Supported living allows you to maintain your independence with just enough help to ensure a healthy and rewarding lifestyle.

If I need more help in the future, will it be available?

Additional support services are always available and can be arranged on a temporary or long-term basis. We can also work with Palliser Care to bring you home care. Many of our residents choose The Wellington because they are planning ahead - they know they may need help in the future and so they choose a home where that help will be available.
