Redefining Assisted Living
At Sanctuary we offer 7 thoughtfully designed small-house retirement communities, with a maximum of 12 elders each, that prioritize comfort, dignity, and genuine human connection. Sanctuary is a place where retirement can be reimagined, where neighbours become family and caregivers provide world-class support. At Sanctuary, every day, there is something to look forward to. It’s a place to enjoy family-style dining and wellness activities while keeping the freedom of your unique lifestyle. It’s the place where living happens within the warmth of a true community.




We are excited to be the first in Canada to offer a new style of exclusive living by adopting the Green House Project model. Green House Homes are small-scale, self-contained, and self-sufficient communities providing assisted living care for elders who are at the centre of every decision.
Traditional assisted living homes often feel institutional and can be isolating. Green House Homes are designed to reinforce the humanity and dignity of elders by eliminating those institutionalized elements. In short, if it doesn’t belong in a private home, it doesn’t belong in a Green House Home.
Green House Project communities don’t feel like home, they are home, with private bedrooms and bathrooms, warm communal areas, real kitchens and splendid outdoor spaces. There are no more than 12 residents in each home.
Investing in our elders and caregivers is the core of our community. We build relationships, provide freedom of choice and shape the everyday rhythms and activities around the needs of the household.
A purposeful way of life is what we strive for within our homes. From contributing to the household, to teaching and learning new skills, to enriching the lives of others.
At Sanctuary, we offer an array of unique and customizable services and amenities that prioritize comfort, dignity, and genuine human connection. We want you to live your life on your terms, with all the support you need to shape your lifestyle in the same manner you would if you were still living at home.
At Sanctuary each floor of our 7-storey building is a contained, thoughtfully designed small-house retirement community. Suites are limited to a maximum of 12 residents per community. Freshly renovated, premium luxury common spaces form the heart of each home, with a kitchen, dining room, activities room, TV room, library, lanai, outdoor patio, and laundry facilities exclusively available for residents in your home.
