The Wexford Residence

What The Wexford Residence does

The Wexford Residence Inc. is a private non-profit seniors care organization incorporated in Ontario, Canada, operating a single eight-storey facility at 1860 Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough. The organization delivers an integrated continuum of care across three co-located service lines: 24-hour long-term care for 166 residents across six units (including two secure dementia units), 89-90 independent living apartments for seniors 59 and older, and a community Active Seniors Centre funded under the Seniors Active Living Centre Act 2017 for individuals 55 and over. Clinical operations include registered nurses, registered practical nurses, personal support workers, a full-time nurse practitioner, physiotherapy, podiatry, dental services, lab and x-ray services, palliative care, social work, and dietary services.

The organization's revenue model blends regulated provincial funding, resident-paid accommodation fees, market-rate and subsidized apartment rents, membership dues, and charitable donations. Long-term care accommodation rates are set by the Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care and range from $70.00/day (Basic) to $91.58/day (Private), adjusted annually on July 1. Apartment rents range from $1,389 to $2,085 per month, with 23 of 90 units subsidized through Toronto's Social Housing Programme administered by Housing Connections. Active Seniors Centre memberships are priced at $20 annually. The Wexford Residence Foundation (charity #118820216RR0001), established in 2003, runs two annual fundraising campaigns (Christmas and Golf Tournament) to fund capital improvements.

Distribution is channel-mediated rather than direct-to-consumer: all long-term care placements are coordinated through Ontario Health atHome (formerly CCAC), which assesses clients and forwards applications to facilities; subsidized apartment applications flow through Housing Connections; and the ASC operates as a walk-in community program. The organization is a Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) since April 2018, implementing evidence-based clinical guidelines in falls prevention, oral health, person and family-centred care, and palliative care. The facility is led by CEO Wayne Connelly with a Board chaired by Louise Stratford, employs between 251 and 500 staff, and is audited under PIPEDA and AODA privacy and accessibility frameworks.
