Welcome to Our Home
Wellington Park Care Centre is located near Downtown Burlington, just steps away from local shopping and restaurants. Our accredited home has been serving 135 long term care residents in our community since 1974.
We are proud partners with our local hospital, Joseph Brant Memorial, and the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Ontario Health atHome, which supports our Restore program. This 16-bed program offers rehabilitation and support to patients from the hospital, until they are strong enough to move back into their own homes.
Our long term care team provide excellent care, and all employ the Gentle Persuasive Approaches (GPA) approach with dementia and Alzheimer’s residents. Additional specialty programs include advanced wound care, physiotherapy and restorative care.
Visit us today. Enjoy a home-cooked meal in a clean, friendly environment, and make our home yours. If you can’t join us in person, then please enjoy our virtual walkthrough.
Person Centred Living Philosophy
At Wellington Park Care Centre, we recognize and value each Resident as an individual, with unique strengths and preferences, and as a citizen with rights and influence.
We place equal importance on the emotional, social, spiritual, and cultural well-being of residents, alongside their physical and mental well-being. Our environment is founded on kindness and guided by an emotion-focused approach to care, ensuring Residents live with their self-defined dignity, autonomy, purpose, and security. We intentionally prioritize meaningful connection and dignity over task-oriented routines, recognizing that how care is delivered is just as important as the care itself. Our services are based on best practice models and delivered with compassion, presence, and respect.
We strive to create a warm, welcoming, home-like environment that is reflective of Residents’ preferences and personalities.
We encourage Residents to set personal goals, to stay connected and active within, and outside, the home. As members of a collective community, we welcome external partners into the home to support the well-being of Residents.
Our approach to care services:
-
is interprofessional and collaborative, engaging residents, families, and team members in decision-making that reflects resident preference and needs;
-
is grounded in emotion-focused, person-centred principles that prioritize relationship, connection, and dignity over routines and tasks;
-
aims to maximize and maintain the independence of Residents and includes the Restorative Care Philosophy;
-
values continuity of care and the Primary Care model, fostering meaningful and stable relationships between Residents and team members across all roles.
At Wellington Park Care Centre, we recognize and value each team member as a unique individual beyond their role and title.
Our team members work with dignity, autonomy, respect for diversity, individual choice, purpose, and security, while fostering kindness, mindfulness, and authentic connection in all interactions. We support a culture where presence and relationship-building are prioritized alongside clinical excellence.
We support personal and professional growth through ongoing education, training, and resources, including development in emotion-focused and relationship-based care practices.
We encourage team members to share their stories and talents with Residents to enhance meaningful interactions and build trust, whilst maintaining therapeutic boundaries.
We seek and value feedback from Residents, team members, and families to continually strengthen our commitment to ethical, emotion-focused, person-centred living.
Our commitment to Person Centred Living aligns with our Vision to create communities of trust and fulfillment for our team members and Residents; our Mission to live a culture of distinction through our commitment to the well-being of team members and Residents; our Values of Kindness: Lead with Kindness, Progressive: Take Initiative, Integrity: Do What’s Right, Community: Achieve Together; and our mantra of Connected Through Kindness.

Residents' Council
The Resident Council is made up of and represents all of the residents in our Home. The Council serves as a vehicle through which residents maintain a degree of control over their lives, share in the management of the Home and thereby contribute to the welfare of all involved.
The Council meets on a regular basis. During these meetings residents can voice their concerns or address any other issues. This forum allows residents the opportunity to network, share information and keep abreast of any new or upcoming changes happening in the Home.
Residents’ Council meets on the fourth Monday of every month at 2:00pm in the 2West Dining Room. Meeting minutes are available from the Programs department.

Land Acknowledgement
Burlington as we know it today is rich in history and modern traditions of many First Nations and the Métis. From the Anishinaabeg to the Haudenosaunee, and the Métis – our lands spanning from Lake Ontario to the Niagara Escarpment are steeped in Indigenous history.
The territory is mutually covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy, the Ojibway and other allied Nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
