Who are you as a community?

Celebrating it's 50 year legacy as one of the City's leading not-for-profit senior housing providers, inspired by a foundation of love, hope and faith, New Horizons Tower is committed to enhancing and enriching the lives of seniors who choose to live in the heart of Bloordale Village. Ideally located and steps from the Dufferin Subway, Dufferin Grove Park and Dufferin Mall. From delicious dining to well-designed suites and lounges, residents are enjoying life at NHT!

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

As a Not For Profit, New Horizons Tower is uniquely situated to recommit and reinvest all resources back into the community - offering enhanced dining, a spotless community, additional activities programming, high staffing levels, and continued self-improvement with renovations and upgrades.

Residents (and guests!) look forward to meals and special dinners at NHT, though many choose our location for the subway access and walkability of Bloordale Village. Walk-out shopping on Bloor and steps from the TTC, Dufferin Mall, Bloor Gladstone Library and Dufferin Grove park!

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

Many residents touring and moving to NHT are living independently; driving, travelling, shopping and cooking. No matter how independent you are, we recognize that any move is a big deal! Our Marketing Manager is here to guide you through the touring, application and moving process and can recommend additional resources.

We anticipate new resident concerns with introductions and orientations to your community and fellow residents.

What we most often hear after someone moves is how warm and welcoming their neighbours are! Residents have formed their own committee with the goal of welcoming and orienting new residents to NHT.

How are residents supported if their needs change?

While the majority of residents are choosing New Horizons Tower for an independent lifestyle we do have additional services and supports that can be offered in your independent suite. Residents also have the choice to bring in outside supports instead if they wish.

Should residents benefit from a higher care environment there are two assisted living floors with dedicated 24 hour staffing, dining, exercise groups and programming on our Terrace (Assisted/LTC Living) and Oasis (Memory Care) floors.

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

What might residents find surprising about your community?

Residents choose NHT for straight forward reasons. Location, inherent advantage of a not-for-profit, an active-living community; and proactively for additional services and a continuum of care. They may have already tried a lunch or dinner and look forward to the dining experience.

They expect a clean community, quality dining, fitness, concerts&lectures, perhaps the choir, gaming or gardening group, and access to additional staff and wellness resources.

What surprises new residents, beyond the building and services, is the warm community of residents and staff. New friendships, home, and belonging.

The community that has developed at 1140 Bloor Street West is active, diverse, tolerant and vibrant, and above all, welcoming.
