Symphony Senior Living has come up with a new type of accommodation within the Forest Valley Terrace community in Orléans that is designed for seniors with mild cognitive impairment, who are anxiously awaiting long-term care placement, or are not necessarily able to afford the traditional pricing for memory care.

Symphony Senior Living recognizes that many families face the challenge of long wait lists, with loved ones in need of memory care sitting in hospitals or transitional care units, uncertain about their next step. Forest Valley Terrace’s "My Home" bridges that gap by offering a safe, supportive and affordable environment for those seeking memory care solutions.

"My Home" is designed for families of seniors who are on long wait lists for long-term care; seniors currently in transitional care units or hospitals awaiting placement in long-term care; as well as social workers and healthcare professionals who support families and individuals in these situations.

With long wait lists being a common issue in Ontario, My Home provides an affordable and secure solution for seniors in need of memory care and their families. Starting at just $3,200, My Home offers one of the most affordable memory care options in the area.

Symphony Senior Living understands the financial strain that long-term care can bring, and they are committed to making this stage of care accessible to as many families as possible. However, with only 30 rooms available in the Forest Valley Terrace memory care community, space is limited.

Eligibility and Care Services

A key qualification for residing at My Home is enrollment with Ontario Health at Home. This ensures that residents have the necessary care services in place, as My Home itself does not provide full-time care services except in one-off or emergency situations. Families and residents must coordinate ongoing care with Ontario Health at Home for regular medical attention.

Services Provided

My Home offers a range of amenities designed to support a comfortable and digni-fied lifestyle for our residents, including:

• Access to an in-house physician for regular check-ins.

• Limited medication administration and support.

• Weekly housekeeping and garbage removal services.

• Continental breakfast options and a selection of meals throughout the day.

• Engaging activities and planned outings to keep residents active and socially connected.

Supporting Families During Transition

Symphony Senior Living’s goal is to help as many families as possible, alleviating some of the pressure while they await long-term solutions. My Home serves as an interim community that prioritizes safety, affordability and comfort, offering families a solution during a difficult time.

My Home is more than just a place to live – it’s a community designed to provide support and care for those navigating the transition to long-term memory care. With affordable pricing, essential services, and a commitment to supporting seniors and their families Forest Valley Terrace’s My Home aims to fill a critical gap in the current memory care system.
