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 to ensure residents live with their self-defined dignity, autonomy, purpose and security. Our care and services are based on the best prevailing practice models.
We strive to create warm, welcoming home-like environments that are reflective of the 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 preferences and needs;
-
aims to maximize and maintain the independence of residents and includes the Restorative Care Philosophy;
-
values continuity of care and the Primary Care model: with 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 and mindfulness in all interactions.
We support their personal and professional growth through ongoing education, training and resources.
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 family to continually strengthen our commitment to ethical, person-centered living.
Our commitment to Person Centred Living aligns with our Vision, To create communities of trust and fulfilment for our team members and residents, our Mission, To live a culture of distinction through our commitment to the well-being of our team members and residents, our Values of Kindness, Integrity, Progressive, and Community and finally 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.
