Quality Retirement Living – Understanding the Differences

Cornerstone is Setting a New Standard for Top-Quality Retirement Living in Ontario.

There’s a substantial difference in quality of life that can be found at retirement living facilities across Canada, and those you’ll find at Cornerstone Retirement Living locations. We believe that residents should be given every opportunity to live a healthy, active lifestyle, while also being given access to daily activities and events that help stimulate personal growth and encourage new friendships within our communities.

To help you understand the differences between quality retirement living like you’ll find at Cornerstone locations, and the obstacles residents may face with lower-quality alternatives, we’ve put together a few key differences between quality retirement living and ordinary retirement living options.

In-Suite Climate Control

This may not be the first thing that you would consider when you think about retirement living amenities, but it’s definitely one of the most important.

A comfortable temperature for one person versus another could be two very different numbers. Some people prefer to be warm all the time, while others like to stay cool.

There are no right or wrong answers, but it’s impossible to have any say in what temperature your bedroom stays for sleeping at night, if you don’t have control over your own thermostat.

All of our suites are equipped with both air conditioning and heating year-round. Clients can select an optimal temperature level to suit their needs, regardless of what the temperature may be outside.

Daily/Weekly Activities & Events

Active retirement living is absolutely essential for the best quality of life. Without a community that encourages regular social events and entertaining activities to keep the mind and body stimulated, the days can become a boring, monotonous drag.

Residents at Cornerstone are welcome to participate in as many of our daily or weekly programs and events as they would like.

Even when they aren’t participating in group activities, residents can enjoy strolling through the beautiful surroundings, or taking advantage of any of the on-location amenities, like our pool or putting green.

Healthy, Delicious Meals

Residents at some retirement living locations can be forced to enjoy mediocre, bland meals that barely meet the requirements to maintain a healthy diet. At Cornerstone, the in-house chef provides a daily assortment of healthy, homemade meals that are nutritious and delicious.

Not to mention, some retirement living options won’t allow for changes to the existing meal plans, which can cause issues for residents that have dietary restrictions.

Fortunately, residents’ dietary restrictions are no problem at Cornerstone locations, where meals can be adjusted so that residents can always safely enjoy them, without fear of negative health consequences.
