We think these are worth highlighting, because these services are not offered for free at other long-term care homes

All of these, on top of top-notch care and services provided by a family that have made it their personal mission to care for the elderly in as loving and dignified a manner as possible, make The Village of Humber Heights a standout selection in our book.

To wit, these services include regular housekeeping, laundry, and linens services, as well as an impressive mix of social and recreational activities like group outings and in-house entertainment.

It’s also worth noting that out of all the nursing homes we took a look at, The Village of Humber Heights is the only nursing home on this list that is proud to say that it is LGBTQ+ friendly.

However, we did also notice that the Village may not be equipped to accommodate certain cultures, such as practitioners of Judaism. Reviews for the facility also suggest that the food here may not be up to snuff, despite the site’s claim that they employ qualified chefs.

• Offers both retirement living options and long-term care
• Close ties to the neighborhood
• Comprehensive list of amenities and services
• LGBTQ+ friendly

• May not be equipped to accommodate some cultures
• Food quality leaves a lot to be desired

“Fabulous place. Clean surroundings. AMAZING staff who really care and appear to enjoy their jobs. My mother has had better care there then she had with all the doctors she had before when she lived on her own. I leave there after every visit knowing she is safe and cared for” -canadianshadowrider

5. Chester Village

Situated on a breathtaking property at Danforth and Warden Avenues, Chester Village is an all-inclusive long-term care facility that any senior would be glad to call home. This community-style nursing home truly lives up to its tagline of “Where Life Has Meaning” by providing its residents with all of the modern comforts needed to keep them safe, secure, and cared for.

We also like Chester Village’s village concept a lot. It puts everything that a resident might need within the confines of the compound, with many key services situated in the same area.

At the lobby, residents and their guests can pick up items at the gift shop, have a bite to eat at the cafe, or have their personal care needs taken care of at the barber/beauty salon. There is also a Client Service Center here, equipped with banking and postal facilities, allowing them to run common errands themselves.

We really like the inclusion of these amenities, given how important they are to maintaining an elderly individual’s sense of independence. Those who need more help don’t have anything to worry about, though, as Chester Village’s friendly staff members provide assistance in all essential daily activities.

Another thing we like about living in Chester Village is how comprehensive their basic package is. In addition to meals and round-the-clock care, laundry and linens services are included in the monthly fee, as well as housekeeping.

Seniors who choose Chester Village will be delighted to know that their rent includes access to medical, ambulation, and personal hygiene supplies, as well as medical care, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy, if needed.

For two seniors who wish to live together, all of their shared accommodation rooms can easily be converted into deluxe couples’ suites, and we love that

The facility also offers a variety of optional services for corresponding additional fees. Any resident who needs dental care, a new pair of eyeglasses, or hearing aids can simply approach one of the staff to have an appointment set.
