BRAMPTON: Brampton officials broke ground on a retirement home for South Asian seniors on September 30. The Jeevan Niwas Retirement Village at 9664 Goreway Dr. will provide 155 units of housing and care services for seniors of South Asian descent, according to a press release from the company.
The retirement village will have 103 full-service supported independent living rental apartments, along with 36 suites for assisted living and a dedicated neighbourhood of 16 memory care units.
The village “will feature a full range of aging-in-place accommodation and health care services, from supported to assisted and even memory care services,” said Sandeep Dhupar, the managing partner at Jeevan Niwas. Facilities include organized activities, social events and cultural/religious excursions.
“Our village will also have a particular focus on integrating families and friends of our residents,” Dhupar said. “To truly establish the feeling of a home and to ensure seniors experience the utmost comfort, the staff at Jeevan Niwas will converse with residents using the most common South Asian languages.”
