Community Profile 3 Marine Parade Dr., Hearthstone by the Bay.

Hearthstone by the Bay is a retirement and home care facility that is ahead of its time, located on the shore of Humber Bay in Toronto. [Etobicoke] Here you have all the services available in a nursing home, made available in a TSCC standard registered Condominium. With complete meal and wellness packages you only pay for the services you require, and add a la carte as you need or want more services. This permits you to budget and plan expenses and cash flow. This building was profiled years ago during the presentation phase, it is truly magnificent to walk through the finished product. There are new units still available as well as openly traded units on the MLS. Call for details and availability.

Our aging demographic makes this style of construction and combination of services a very timely product in Toronto's crowded condominium market.

Have a look through the photostream for on site pictures. The Customer Relations Manager Jane Udell Jones provided a detailed and patient explanation oF services and features of living at Hearthstone By The Bay. I was pleased to note that Ms. Udell Jones was a specialist with a degree in Gerontology. We understand from the details provided that the average age of current population is 71 years young and socially active, making new friends.

If you are considering a downsizing package for Mom or Dad, and you see years of condominium living for them prior to a nursing home, a centrally located condominium complex with Independent and/or Supportive Living Retirement Residence may be a good selection for you to consider. Give us a call and we can arrange an interview for you. Trial stays can be arranged for a few days or a few weeks.
