Built in 2006, the three-storey building at the Wellesley boasts large, bright suites available with a variety of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans. The Wellesley includes 40 publicly subsidized units and 24 private-pay units that cater to the needs of both independent residents and those who require additional assistance. There’s also a 24-hour on-site guest suite that can be rented for visits by your friends or family.

Furthermore, our staff conduct nightly on-site security checks for added peace of mind.
