In the last year, a record number of Canadians have opted to exit the workforce and embrace a new stage of life. For many, opening the door to retirement means having the time and energy to travel, volunteer, write a book or take up a new hobby. And while our daily routines may change, there’s one thing that Canadians absolutely want to stay the same: The feeling we get when we walk through the front door of the place we call home.

From the framed memories on the wall, to the decor and background music, our space reflects our lives, families and adventures. It’s where we gather with friends and host family celebrations. In every way, our home is all about us, and Parkland is no exception. With premium lifestyle options, unparalleled amenities and exceptional service at every turn, Parkland Lifestyle Residences is quickly becoming a top lifestyle choice for Ontarians.

All-inclusive and supportive lifestyles

Parkland is owned and led by a family with more than 30 years of experience providing quality accommodations, services and support to seniors. What started as a single location in Nova Scotia has grown to include communities in three provinces. In 2015, Parkland established its first Lifestyle Residence in Ontario with Parkland on the Glen in Mississauga. Construction began on Parkland on Eglinton West in Etobicoke soon after, and it opened in 2020. The latest location in Ajax is set to open in early 2023, and construction is already underway on a multi-building, 390-suite community in Ancaster.

Offering a range of independent, all-inclusive and supportive lifestyles, Parkland’s full continuum of service ensures residents can access exactly what they need as their needs change over time, maintaining independence, quality of life and peace of mind.

Every lifestyle apartment and suite has been thoughtfully designed with premium finishes, spacious washrooms, efficient appliances and an endless supply of natural light. Each Parkland community offers a variety of suite types and layouts, depending on the lifestyle option selected. Residents can choose a cosy studio, a duplex-sized two-bedroom plus den or something in between.

While residents’ private suite is a peaceful oasis for relaxation, most can be found enjoying the modern lounges, dining and pub spaces where neighbours gather to discuss world events and plan their next round of golf.

Whether returning from an afternoon of shopping or a few hours reading in the gardens, residents are always welcomed home by experienced hospitality professionals who take pride in connecting them with helpful information about services and programming.

Quality of life

At Parkland, wellness plays a significant role in the resident experience and quality of life. A signature Harmony Wellness Program reflects six dimensions of wellness and includes daily activities ranging from cribbage tournaments to live entertainment, wine and cheese socials, group fitness classes, educational seminars, shopping excursions and more.

Outside of organized activities, residents have access to a collection of amenities that aren’t often found in a family home. Depending on the community, an on-site salon and spa, movie theatre, bowling alley, pool table, golf simulator, heated swimming pool and more are available for residents and family (especially grandkids) to enjoy. With plenty of opportunities to be social and active, Parkland provides the feeling of home with the experience of a five-star resort.

If you or a loved one are considering a lifestyle community, look no further than Parkland Lifestyle Residences. The “Parkland Promise” provides peace of mind, knowing every detail has been considered to provide an exceptional lifestyle at a cost that’s less than one might expect. With one monthly bill, a 30-day money back guarantee, no long-term contracts, priority access and dedicated team members who put residents first in all they do, Parkland is where you or a loved one can live your best life.
