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.
