Hearthstone Senior Residence

Why Hearthstone?

We believe that in retirement living you should not be compromising on the living space that you have and you shouldn’t have to move to access services.
We also believe that you should have all the amenities that make your life comfortable and convenient and all of this should come at a cost that’s affordable for the short and long term.
Hearthstone has full-sized condominium suites with all the amenity spaces you would like and we’ll deliver the services that you need, when you need them, right to your door. Best of all, our condominium style of retirement living is much more affordable than comparable rental retirement residences.

Why is Hearthstone the most affordable option?

Retirement living needs to be affordable; no one wants to spend this part of their life worried about whether they’ll run out of money.
At this point, you want to have some fun and look forward to the future, not worry about it. When looking at purchasing a Hearthstone condominium, most people take the equity they have in their homes and use that money to pay for the condominium unit at Hearthstone.
The cost of services, both condominium and Hearthstone services (including property taxes and utilities) will cost you a little more than $2300 a month.
Condominium Vs Rental Retirement Comparison

* Lost investment income is calculated at 2.5% return on $450,000 (cost of unit) after tax. There has been no adjustment made for the potential increase in the value of the condominium unit purchased.

Condominium Retirement Living

It feels like home because it is your home.

We’ve designed Hearthstone so there are as few compromises as possible in the move to retirement living.
Our goal has been to create a great place to live your life.

Hearthstone By The Lake (HBTL)

There’s nothing like being close to the water. With beautiful views of Lake Ontario and walking trails by the water, Hearthstone by the Lake has a fantastic location. Surrounded by mature trees, remarkable gardens in a lovely established neighbourhood with all the stores and services you might need. Take the transit for Oakville or Burlington that stops at our door, take the Hearthstone shuttle or bring your nice warm car out of the underground parking and decide whether you’re going to the picturesque downtown of either Oakville or Burlington.

Features of your unit

The architecture is timeless and the gardens are award-winning and much time and thought was given to the suites as well. We think you’ll find very few compromises. Spaces are well proportioned between living, eating, sleeping and bathing, these are condominiums that you would be proud to call home.

Features of the Club

The Club in Burlington at Hearthstone by the Lake joins the two residential buildings together and is literally the hub of the community. Throughout the course of the day there is always activity in the Club. The dining room overlooks Lake Ontario and enjoys a warm ambiance that spreads to the fun and lively conversation in the games room. The fitness room is well equipped for personal and group fitness and the salt-water pool is always a comfortable temperature. The library is remarkably well stocked and a warm and comfortable place for a read. The private dining room is the location of many a great meal, engaging conversations and available to entertain family and friends. For larger functions and get-togethers the infamous Pig and Whistle is at your service.

Our Services meet your needs

Now and in the future… and you never move to access them.

We believe there needs to be a base of services to meet your immediate needs, the ones that are causing you to move.

Beyond that we believe you should be able to contract only for the services you need, when you need them and you should never have to move to gain access to them. All the service you need, when you need it, all discretely delivered behind the door of your condominium suite.

Meeting your needs now and in the future

The Basic Service Package (BSP) is the foundation of the Hearthstone concept. By buying the unit you continue to protect the equity that you have in your family home. The BSP is designed to provide the essential services in retirement, at a rate that’s affordable over the long term. We don’t assume that we know what’s best for you. The BSP provides the basics in retirement services and beyond that we provide what you need, when you need it.

The BSP provides all of the amenity areas that you’ll enjoy in the Hearthstone Clubhouse. It also provides emergency response 24 hours a day and a permanent health and wellness clinic on-site, so you don’t have to drive to most appointments…. the services come to you. The BSP also provides for the dining room staff, in the kitchen and in the dining room. The Recreation/Activities Director who programs and runs all the fitness, activities, outings, social events and religious services is paid for by the BSP and the regular housekeeping that’s done in your suite, is considered a part of the Basic Service Package as well.

Beyond the BSP you pay for only the additional services that you contract for. When you no longer need those additional services you simply end the contract and go right back to the BSP level.

Additional Services – only when you need them

The Basic Service Package offers access to all the Club spaces and services like emergency response and a monthly credit in the dining room. All of your social, recreational and fitness endeavours are covered as well in the Basic Service Package, but beyond these services are the services that provide for individual needs and we think you should contract for those only if you need them and for as long as you need them. It’s one of the main ways that Hearthstone stays affordable and ensures that you or your spouse is not paying for services that are really not required. But, whether it’s convenience services or wellness and support services, whether it’s getting your hair done and a massage or seeing the foot doctor and getting physiotherapy, it’s all available.

Wellness packages – if needs change over time

We want to ensure that your needs are being met from the very first day you join us at Hearthstone. We’ll meet with you and ensure that we know exactly what your service and care needs are and we can create a program that meets your individual needs.
Over time needs change and many retirement residences will ask you to move when you need additional services and care. At Hearthstone you own the unit that you live in; you decide what services you want, when you want them and we discretely deliver that service to your suite, no moving to a different floor or a different building, just a simple phone call to get more or less service, whenever you want it.

Dining (Restaurant, Take-out and groceries delivered to your door)

We assume that you won’t want to eat every meal, every day in the same dining room. The BSP gives you a monthly credit for a number of meals in our dining room, or in the bar if you would like something more casual. You can choose to use the monthly credit for take-out if you’d like to enjoy your suite, but have our chef make the meal.
The private dining room is also available for friends and family but at Hearthstone, you have a full kitchen and dining area for entertaining in your suite. Having options for food and setting, make dining so much more enjoyable. You’ll find there are lots of options for dining at Hearthstone.

Recreation /Activities /Fitness

Enthusiastic Directors provide activities to meet your needs for fitness, recreation, fun and entertainment. Our Directors will organize both the on-site and off-site activities with input from you and your Hearthstone friends on what you would like to do. Shopping trips, wine country excursions, theatre, guest lectures, live entertainment are all possibilities on the monthly calendar.
