A welcoming home designed for belonging

At Laurel Heights, shared spaces are intentionally designed to feel familiar and inviting. Comfortable lounges, bright dining areas, and accessible common spaces naturally encourage conversation and connection. These spaces are not just functional. They help residents feel at home.

Dining is a cornerstone of daily life. Meals are social, relaxed, and nourishing. Residents enjoy familiar flavours, dietary accommodations, and the simple joy of sharing stories with neighbours. Research from the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging shows that social engagement during meals can significantly improve emotional well-being for older adults.

Quiet spaces are just as important. Residents can read, reflect, or simply enjoy the rhythm of community life at their own pace. These everyday moments transform Laurel Heights from a residence into a true home.

Residents value features such as:

  • Comfortable and accessible common areas

  • Inviting dining experiences that support routine and connection

  • Spaces that feel warm, calm, and easy to enjoy

Practical peace of mind for residents and families

Senior living at Laurel Heights is designed to remove daily stress while preserving personal choice. Housekeeping, maintenance, and built-in safety features support independence without feeling intrusive.

Families often find great reassurance knowing their loved one no longer needs to manage snow removal, repairs, or daily tasks alone. According to Alberta Health Services, the right living environment helps seniors maintain autonomy while reducing health and safety risks.

Laurel Heights provides the right balance of support and independence. Assistance is available when needed, while privacy and self-direction are always respected.

Supportive features include:

  • Safe and accessible layouts

  • On-site services that simplify daily routines

  • Consistent schedules that foster confidence and stability



Rooted in the Edmonton community

Location matters in senior living. Laurel Heights is located in Edmonton’s Meadows area, allowing residents to remain connected to the city they know and love. Familiar neighbourhoods, seasonal traditions, and cultural experiences all play an important role in emotional well-being.

Residents can enjoy local green spaces, multicultural celebrations, and frequent visits from family and friends. The City of Edmonton’s age friendly initiatives emphasize how staying connected to the community supports quality of life as we age.

This sense of continuity helps Laurel Heights feel less like a transition and more like a natural next chapter.

Why the right senior living environment matters

Senior living is not one size fits all. The environment shapes how supported, confident, and connected daily life feels. At Laurel Heights, amenities are designed around respect, comfort, and community rather than excess.

For seniors, this means

  • Feeling capable and valued

  • Enjoying meaningful daily routines

  • Living with comfort, dignity, and purpose

For families, it means knowing their loved one is not only safe but engaged, supported, and truly seen.

The National Institute on Aging highlights that environments encouraging autonomy and social interaction positively influence overall health and well-being in older adults.

A place to feel at home every day

At Laurel Heights, amenities are not about impressing. They are about supporting real life, day by day. From shared meals and welcoming spaces to practical supports and strong community connections, every detail reflects a commitment to comfort, independence, and belonging.

If you are exploring senior living in Edmonton for yourself or someone you love, the right environment makes all the difference. Laurel Heights offers more than a place to live. It offers a place to feel at home.
