Lifestyle options in retirement communities
There are various types of care services and residential homes available for senior citizens, depending on their overall health and age.
Some options are:
• Active Adult Retirement Communities

• Assisted living homes
• Memory care in Mississauga
• Long-term care or Nursing care
• Retirement condominiums
Nursing care is typically required by senior citizens who need long-term care, rehabilitation after surgery or care for severe medical conditions. Nursing homes provide a higher level of care than retirement homes. Luxury retirement homes provide an unmatched resort lifestyle, master suites, designer kitchens and chef-prepared meals. Walking trails, clubhouses and swimming pools add to the opulence of the luxury senior homes in Meadowvale.
Regulation of Meadowvale retirement homes
The Ontario Retirement Communities Association (ORCA) traditionally set operating standards for senior homes. Since 2010, the RHRA has taken a more proactive role in regulating the retirement home industry in the province of Ontario. It licenses retirement residences and refuses licenses to some applications. Other licenses are offered with conditions, and sometimes licenses are revoked. Learn more about the RHRA.
Meadowvale has a large number of senior residences that are also members of ORCA. The innovatively planned retirement homes provide the best of care along with modern amenities, world-class facilities and a healthy social life for elderly family members. The various types of retirement homes in Meadowvale allow seniors to pursue their interests, discover new hobbies, form new friendships, and live with contentment.
Moving to Meadowvale from out of the area
Meadowvale was originally a village in the 19th and early 20th centuries, in Toronto Township. In the 1970s, Meadowvale was selected to be the name of a new town community for the newly (1974) incorporated City of Mississauga; the name was applied to a development a few miles west along Derry Road. Meadowvale Village was recognized as Ontario’s first Heritage Conservation District in 1980. The larger Mississauga community is sensitive to the issues concerning seniors. Community resources and services enable seniors to live full, active and healthy lives in this region. Meadowvale has several seniors’ social clubs, games, crafts and social activities for the elderly.
