The Growing Crisis in Ontario.
By 2040, it is estimated the number of seniors aged 80+ will double.
Complex Realities – Roughly 20% of this group will require high-level support that cannot be provided at home.
Over 50,000 people are currently waiting for long-term care; many face wait list times exceeding five months.
Hamilton has been identified as the top 15 metropolitan areas in Canada with 17.9% of the population 65 years or older.
Shalom Manor & Gardens is experiencing waitlists from 5 to 8 years. Almost one-third of those on the waitlist are from the Hamilton/Burlington area.
Currently, almost 30% of Shalom residents are from Hamilton.
Mending the Gap: The Urgent Need to Care
The current system of care is fraying. As we look to the future, we see a critical gap between the care seniors deserve and the resources available. Faithsone Manor & Gardens is our answer – a commitment to mending that gap and extending our Legacy of the Heart.
The Solution:
- The Bridge: Assisted living is the vital bridge that prevents the system from breaking. By offering 24/7 support in a residential setting, Faithstone Gardens will preserve independence, providing nutritious meals and wellness that prevent unnecessary physical and cognitive decline.
- Relieve the Pressure: Faithstone Manor will provide more long-term care beds, and having the Gardens will reduce the need for long-term care beds and hospital congestion.
- Provide a Safety Net: Offer a secure environment that keeps seniors safe while maintaining their dignity.
Enriching Lives: The Heart of the Home
Walking through our community hub on the main floor, each space is designed to enrich lives every day; fostering a sense of both normalcy and vibrancy. The experiences of these spaces will foster:
- Connection & Social Belonging
- Creativty & Self-Expression
- Well-Being & Active Living
- Purpose & Engagement
- Celebration & Milestones
- Dignity, Identity & Self-Care
- Intergenerational Learning & Belonging
- Comfort, Warmth & Hospitality
