Welcome to The Wellesley
We are a vibrant and active retirement community centrally located in Victoria, BC, near the Upper Harbour and the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
We offer large, bright suites in a variety of floor plans, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Unlike many other seniors communities, we also offer full kitchens, in-suite air conditioning, and large windows with stunning views of the surrounding area.
We offer a variety of senior housing and care options, including 40 publicly subsidized units and 24 private-pay units, serving both Independent Living residents and Assisted Living residents who need a little extra help.
Our mix of suite types, care levels, and funding options lets you compare fit, budget, and support needs all in one place.
Life at The Wellesley
There’s never a dull moment here at The Wellesley, and this community is absolutely full of life. We have an inner courtyard that’s often buzzing with activity, two rooftop patios, a Zen garden, and a lush, greenhouse-style garden lounge lobby. We also offer a spacious activity area with a full stage, sound, and lighting for entertainment, performances, and lively events. We also offer a 24-hour on-site guest suite for visits from friends or family.
Location
Our retirement community is centrally located, just five minutes from shopping centres, grocery stores, restaurants, banks, pharmacies, and more. Residents can enjoy all the city’s amenities without living right downtown.
Amenities
We are very proud of our Victoria retirement community. In addition to our vibrant culture, we offer a variety of amenities, including a movie theatre, hair salon, fitness room, and more. There’s also a large billiards table on the second floor that overlooks our garden lounge. Our full-service dining room serves a wide range of homemade meals, along with a selection of local wines and other beverages. Residents can also enjoy our tranquil interior courtyard and two beautiful rooftop gardens. For those who are good with their hands, we also offer a one-of-a-kind woodworking shop with everything you need to fix, build, and create.
Compassionate-led care
Our primary goal is to provide residents with a very high quality of life in a safe, home-like environment. Our dedicated staff helps residents maintain their independence while providing the personalized care and support they need as they age. Our 24/7 emergency response system also ensures residents have access to nursing assistance when needed.
Safety & security
The safety and security of our residents is always a top priority. For example, all building entrances and exits have code or key access. We’ve also installed state-of-the-art security cameras in common areas, parking lots, and exits to protect residents from theft, vandalism, and unauthorized entry. Our staff also conduct nightly on-site security checks for added peace of mind.
Accessibility & inclusivity
We pride ourselves on being fully accessible, with an elevator on every floor. Many suites feature walk-in showers with grab bars to help keep residents safe. We are honoured to welcome residents from all faiths and cultures, and we offer weekly non-denominational religious services as well as opportunities for people of specific denominations to gather. If you’ve been looking at retirement homes in Victoria without success, we urge you to call us and book a tour today.
