Residents are introduced to each department manager to explain their role in the community. We assign a resident ambassador to help welcome and orientate them to their new surroundings. The first few days are a time of adjustment, getting to know their new home. To help with this adjustment period we offer complimentary meal escorts. A new resident welcome tea is also planned to introduce them to their peers currently residing in our home.

At The Concorde, residents can transition between independent living and assisted living as their needs evolve. Our team works closely with residents and families to assess changing circumstances and arrange additional support when needed. This approach allows residents to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving more assistance with daily living, health, and wellness. If a resident eventually requires nursing care, our team will guide the family as they work with The Ministry of Health for assessment and placement in long-term care.
