What do you do differently or uniquely well?
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
The Village concept that sets us apart was always meant to create a living space for seniors that feels like a small town. In many ways this is similar to the experience our founder, Ron Schlegel, had growing up in Ailsa Craig outside of London, Ont. Our Main Street connects to the Town Square as the social spine of the Village. Together these spaces allow for indoor and accessible options for residents to live life as they always have. Ron also envisioned the Village as community hubs for seniors and others from the surrounding community. His vision was to connect the Village to the broader community to enhance the lives of residents as well as support those living outside the Village.
Parkland Lifestyle Residences is a family owned organization for the last 35 years, and we understand the importance of creating strong & everlasting roots. Reasons why Parkland Ancaster will be different than any other retirement living: Parkland Ancaster will offer premier amenity spaces & activities where you will get the chance to foster meaningful friendships and thrive socially; we will feature three diverse dining options, where staying in means dining out with no assigned seating! Our commitment extends to accessibility, surpassing standard guidelines, simplify your life with an all-in-one monthly bill covering utilities and communication, ensuring convenience and peace of mind knowing that we offer the full continuum of care.
What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?
What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?
Each resident who calls the Village home, comes with a unique life story. By completing our My Experience (ME) Form, you help us better understand your life, experiences, values and preferences. In order to support you to live well within our village, we need to begin by hearing your story. Your dedicated Village Experience Coordinator helps guide you through this paperwork and helps make the move-in experience as smooth as possible. Our resident Welcoming Committee strives to help their new neighbours feel welcomed and connected.
Moving can feel overwhelming, but at Parkland Ancaster, we anticipate your needs. All team members at Parkland Ancaster will warmly greet new residents, providing a resident's perspective. In the first week, our managers will guide you through Parkland Ancaster, helping you feel at home, from thermostat use to menu preferences. Here, every resident understands the transition, ensuring a supportive and welcoming community for all. Our Philosophy of Service is shared with every resident as part of their welcome package and is also posted in every community.
Your Life. Your Choice. Your Home.
How are residents supported if their needs change?
How are residents supported if their needs change?
Residents are supported when their needs change in multiple ways that foster their autonomy. When their needs change we can help provide the care necessary for them to stay in their current room or the person will have the option to transfer to another neighbourhood where those supports are included in the rent. Outside support can also come in to help with supports.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Someone seeking a very private lifestyle with minimal interaction may find another setting more appropriate. At The Village, daily life is built around connection, shared spaces, and relationships among residents, team members, and families. It’s the right place for seniors who value being part of a community where people know one another and where care and companionship are part of everyday life.

What might residents find surprising about your community?
What might residents find surprising about your community?
New residents often say “I wish I had done this sooner!” They’re surprised by how quickly they become absorbed in the community and how fast new friendships develop. In no time at all, everybody knows their name and like in any small town, a walk down Main Street is an opportunity to connect with friends and new acquaintances. People are also surprised by opportunities offered to grow and learn in their new community. They find new passions like hosting a podcast, riding a mechanical bull, becoming an artist or fulfilling a lifelong dream of skydiving. As they say, the possibilities are endless.
We anticipate that residents of Parkland Ancaster will be involved in what happens in the community. Parkland is where your life meets your style. Residents at Parkland Ancaster will have the opportunity to have form clubs and committees of their choice. This can range from a Resident's Council, a Harmony & Wellness committee, gardening club, book club, to name a few. Our Philosophy of Service is shared with every resident as part of their welcome package and is also posted in every community.

We see the future as a continuation of what already matters most here—care that is rooted in connection, belonging, and a true sense of home.
