Leisure Care, LLC, will
operate and manage the
new development.
Established for over three
decades, Leisure Care has
a reputation for providing
innovative, quality senior
care. Its focus is on providing
“Five-Star Fun” and
its philosophy is all about
respect – for residents,
families, employees and
the community.
For Toronto’s discerning retirees,
this represents a pretty exciting opportunity
for the future. After all, Tapestry
at Village Gate West is a lot more than a
new place to live.As the project’s general
manager, Cathy Wallbank, notes,
Tapestry offers “a total lifestyle” – and a
luxe one at that.
Kerry Wilson, Concert’s development
manager, says the site in Toronto’s
west end seemed like the obvious
choice. It’s an affluent area with a tightknit
community feel. “This is the leading
edge of the baby-boomers, [who have]
higher standards. They’ve been accustomed
to more of a catered lifestyle,”
he explains.
It’s also part of a larger trend of
retirees who opt for luxury housing in
an urban setting with easy access to
city amenities.
