Icy sidewalks, snow shovelling, long drives to check in on Mom or Dad.
For many older adults in Northumberland, winter is when everyday life gets harder and a lot quieter. A short stay at Roseglen Village offers a different kind of season, whether you’re on your own or coming as a couple: a fully furnished suite, three meals a day, warm company and support close by, with no commitment to stay longer. And for those who fall in love with it, Roseglen is a community you can stay in year-round.
Heritage charm in the heart of Port Hope
Roseglen Village sits at 53 Wellington Street in historic Port Hope, close to the Ganaraska River, the Capitol Theatre and the shops and restaurants downtown. It’s a warm, welcoming community where team members know residents by name and families are kept informed and involved.
Short stay guests enjoy all the benefits of Independent Living in a fully furnished suite, including all meals and activities. Days have a comfortable rhythm: a full breakfast in the dining room, then an exercise class, conversation in the sun-filled atrium, cards, crafts, sing-alongs, therapy dog visits or Tranquil Echoes, a calming sound bowl session residents love. Evenings might bring a tune on the piano or a quiet hour by the fire in the Fireside Lounge. Join in as much or as little as you like.
Support is always close by too. Our team is on site 24/7, and a variety of care services is available, customized to each resident’s needs and wellness goals.
Could a short stay be right for your family?
It may be worth exploring if your loved one:
• Lives alone and finds snow, ice or winter driving harder each year
• Is caring for a spouse or partner and could use a break this winter
• Relies on a family caregiver who is travelling over the holidays or needs time to recharge
• Is coming home from hospital and needs a safe place to regain strength
• Feels more isolated as the days get shorter
• Is curious about retirement living but unsure what it’s really like
A short stay today, a community for the years ahead
Many guests use a winter stay to experience retirement living from the inside before making a bigger decision. Roseglen offers Independent Living and Independent Supportive Living year-round, and through Levante Thrive for Wellness, residents can add a la carte support as their needs change, so the right care is there without having to move again.
