Our Perspective
How we see The Village of Wentworth Heights
Wentworth Heights is the perfect fit for Hamilton area seniors who miss the old days when you knew your neighbours, and everyone you met had a friendly "Hello." The village concept is truly unique and has to be experienced to be appreciated. Staff and residents love life in the village, and family members are thrilled when their senior family members find a home in such a vibrant place where they’re well cared for.
Still very new, this retirement village builds on the experience of other Schlegel Villages, in a community that progresses their innovative approach to senior care. Care ranges from independent living suites with walkout patios to units in the village's memory care neighbourhood.
Schlegel's philosophy emphasizes flexibility, resident empowerment, diversity, and collaboration among staff. They've been leaders in senior care for decades. Having worked with Schlegel for many years, now, we’ve seen that they're persistently focused on innovation, balanced with a commitment to care for every resident. Tour Wentworth Heights and see for yourself how well they care for the residents and the building that's their home.

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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
How will your community change in the next five years?
Over the next five years, we’ll continue to strengthen the Village model that defines Schlegel Villages. Our focus will remain on deepening relationships with the broader community, enhancing opportunities for meaningful engagement, and ensuring residents can continue to live with purpose as their needs evolve. 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.

"My mother is in LTC, but we have the freedom to take her into the Retirement area and the LTC area.

The gardens are so well tended, the waterfall is so pretty and the fish are swimming around. The staff in LTC and in Retirement are consistently kind and welcoming to my mother and to my family.

Dementia & Memory Care (definition)
Cost from $6,600
Emma's neighbourhood is designed for residents living with memory loss and offers care and recreation programs specifically designed for those with Alzheimer's Disease and other related forms of dementia. Residents will enjoy private time in either a studio or one-bedroom suite, while also having access to gathering spaces and programs in the Neighbourhood, as well as larger Village programs on Main Street. At Schlegel Villages, we believe there is no “loss of self”, but rather a “change in self” with the progression of dementia. Our Signature Program, LIVING in My Today, supports people living with dementia as they tap into their strengths, express themselves and enjoy the comfort and security of friendships in a place where they experience acceptance and belonging. Our emphasis on developing relationships while understanding the experience of those living with dementia forms the foundation of The Five Pillars of LIVING in My Today: (MEETS) Meaningful and Active Engagement, Enjoyable Mealtimes, Empowered Care Partners, Thoughtful Design and Supportive Approaches. Our dedicated team works with and cares for residents, supporting them to live well each day, regardless of what that day looks like. We’re proud of the foundation we’ve built in LIVING in My Today and the extensive work and collaboration that brought the program to life.
