Deciding to move into a retirement community is about more than just "downsizing." It is about choosing a lifestyle where your time is finally your own. In the heart of the Kawarthas, retirement homes Peterborough have set a new standard for what it means to age with dignity, excitement, and world-class hospitality. At Kawartha Heights Retirement Living , we don’t just provide a room; we provide a community where every detail—from the thread count of your linens to the seasoning on your salmon—is meticulously curated.

The Best Dining Experience at Retirement Homes Peterborough

For many seniors, the joy of cooking is often overshadowed by the burden of grocery shopping, prep work, and cleaning. When you search for a retirement home, the culinary experience should be at the top of your checklist.

We operate a state-of-the-art fresh food facility where dining is a celebration, not just a routine. Our chefs prioritize homestyle cuisine prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether you are enjoying a hearty breakfast in our magnificent dining room or hosting a private event for your family, the quality of nutrition directly impacts your vitality.

• Customized Menus: We accommodate dietary restrictions and diabetic needs without sacrificing flavor.

• Bistro & Social Hub: Our self-serve bistro offers fresh fruit and baked goods all day—perfect for a quick snack between activities.

Professional Senior Care That Respects Your Independence

Whether you need medication management, assistance with daily routines, or simply the peace of mind that comes with 24/7 professional staff on-site, we tailor our care to you. We offer an "Enhanced Living Care Program" that evolves as your needs do, ensuring you never have to move again even if your health requirements change.
