Gain exclusive insight into life at The Village of Humber Heights. Comfort Life’s exclusive verified reviews give you exclusive insider information.
A hallmark of life at The Village of Humber Heights is the village feeling. This residence is ideal for people who miss the old days when life was simpler, and who love to easily socialize with others. The “town square” includes a library, an indoor café, a general store, a chapel and more, creating a cheerfully vibrant village centre where old friends meet up, chat and visit. The bonus, of course, is the presence of professional care staff.
The availability of a full continuum of care here makes it unique. With everything from independent and assisted living through dementia care and long-term care, you never need to move again. Memory care neighbourhoods are a standout, allowing residents with dementia to receive the best care possible thanks to Schlegel's partnership with the Research Institute for Aging at the University of Waterloo.
The staff here focus on offering resident-centered care and on creating a community that feels a lot like an extended family. That’s built into Schlegel’s mission, thanks to being a family-owned company, with a focus on love above everything else. For example, employees' and volunteers’ reviews highlight a focus on service with humility. That philosophy and attitude create a great place for seniors to live and to thrive.

So impressive to see an outdoor concert this afternoon after I was leaving a visit with a friend. Such a great set of amenities that I'd think of moving here eventually! Well done!
The staff were helpful and courteous.
When we first walked in, there was entertainment in the lobby. That was a delight to see so many residents enjoying the music and singing along to "Sweet Caroline".
A staff person also refrigerated the dessert we brought for Velma, and labelled the plate. That was very thoughtful!
My mother and I attended a tour conducted by Joanne Hernandez. We were both thoroughly impressed with Joanne's knowledge of the facility and residents. We have attended a few tours and always have so many questions. We had no questions after our tour with Joanne! She has the ability to anticipate the needs of her audience, is caring, and radiates positive energy! We left the tour fully informed of the facility and felt the culture at the village of Humber Heights is exactly what our loved one needs.
The staff did an amazing job caring for my grandmother.
I have nothing but praise for this exceptional long-term care home. The care and patience the staff showed toward my mother were truly a blessing I will always treasure. It’s evident that the caregivers are deeply passionate about their work, and their dedication shines through in everything they do. The Islington Floor staff became like a second family to my mother. Whenever I had a question, they never hesitated to pause what they were doing to assist me. Truly impressive!
My Mother was a resident at Humber Heights in different areas for almost 17 years. She had excellent care from all staff and was very well looked after. I would recommend this home highly.
I have nothing but praise for this facility. The staff and care, especially at Emma's was second to none. They ensured my Mom's transition went well when she moved in and the compassion shown by all in her final days was exemplary. Thank you all
My dad is a resident of this wonderful home. I have nothing but amazing things to say and am blessed he is in such a loving and caring home. Making the decision to put them in a home is always hard. He has advanced Alzheimer’s and the staff at Alderwood floor has taken my dad in like family. They're amazing. Every time I see him—almost daily—he is always clean and smells good and (most important) well taken care off. I can honestly say all staff in the village are wonderful and friendly.
Fabulous place [with] clean surroundings. The staff really care and enjoy their jobs ... I leave there after every visit knowing she is safe and cared for.
You can really feel the community spirit the moment you walk in the door. You can see that people here are well cared for in a clean and loving environment. Current resident
Every time I come to the town square there're always groups of people here and there. I never knew a retirement home could be this lively.
