What do you do differently or uniquely well?

Ashley Oaks' vision was to create a retirement residence that caters to Croatians and European communities alike who share similar traditions and values. For many Europeans, food is not only a source of nourishment but also a way of preserving their culture and identity. At Ashley Oaks, we offer a menu that caters to the tastes and preferences of our residents, using fresh ingredients and authentic recipes.

We offer a variety of both indoor and outdoor amenities and activities that match your every mood - swimming, exercising, potting plants, or playing a friendly game of bocce in our beautiful courtyard. You can stay as active as you'd like or simply relax and socialize with new friends in our fireplace lounge or cafe bistro.

What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?

Since Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence caters to Croatians and European families, a new resident can look forward to a "buddy system" that allows them to make a new friend(s) with individuals of the same or similar descent/nationality.

At Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence, we ensure a caring and comfortable orientation hosted by the Executive Director, including "meet the staff" and learning about all the programs and amenities available to residents. Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence is not only a place to live, but a place to thrive!

How are residents supported if their needs change?

If needs can change over time, we’re here to provide the right level of assistance in a way that feels comfortable and familiar. We offer personalized care services that can be adjusted as needed, always with a focus on dignity and respect. Because we’re a close-knit community, our team knows each resident well, making it easier to respond quickly and thoughtfully.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?

Ashley Oaks may not be the right fit for someone seeking memory care or a highly clinical care environment. Our focus is on connection, culture, and shared experiences, especially for those who appreciate European traditions and a strong sense of community. We’re ideally suited for individuals who enjoy social living, cultural familiarity, and being part of a warm, engaging home where relationships and daily interaction are an important part of life.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

At Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence, the European flare and traditions carries throughout the home. From ethnic folklore performances in our large multipurpose room, to making traditional favourites such as homemade apple strudel and cabbage rolls in our spacious country kitchen, the feeling of "home" is simply comforting and entertaining all at the same time!

Enjoy a history lesson from a fellow resident dating back to their childhood/homeland, or learn a new hobby that you've never considered before. At Ashley Oaks Retirement Residence, your options are endless!

How will your community change in the next five years?

We’ll continue to grow with our residents, building on the traditions and values that are our strength. We’ll continue enhancing our cultural programming, dining experiences, and daily activities, while adapting care services to meet evolving needs. Our focus will always be on creating a place where residents feel at home—connected to their heritage, supported in their lifestyle, and able to continue enjoying meaningful experiences each day.
