Senior care is changing as we anticipate seniors living longer, more active lives and desiringcommunity, connection and independence, even for those who require complex care. TaborVillage is leading the way, embarking on a multi-phase 10-year plan to update and create newresidences and programs for Tabor Village.

The first phase will include replacing Tabor Home Complex Care building with a new, innovativeComplex Care Residence based on the “Household Model" and adding 60 units of assisted livingsuites to the existing Tabor Court building. Seniors will have private bedroom suites located ina small home design that includes an open kitchen, family dining room, living room, den andaccess to outdoors. The design creates a vibrant living community that allows for flexibleroutines and personal preferences while nurturing a safe home-like experience. The newfacility will hold 11 “households" on six floors, with 14 residents in each household.

Phase Two will see the construction of a second Independent Living facility and Phase Threewill add a Community Centre and Chapel complex so a complete Campus of Care can be offeredto residence.

Tabor Village is a vibrant communitywhere seniors experience “care fromthe heart” with Christian compassionand respect.
