About Trinity Village

 Trinity Village

A Good Place to Live and Work

By creating a community within each housing type, surrounding community, and neighbourhood where life could be lived meaningfully

Within this community of older adult living, interdependence and collaboration of generations occur, allowing individuals to continue to live meaningful lives. Care partners of any age will help alleviate the loneliness and boredom of those residing and visiting the Village.

At the heart of our philosophy is a partnership with numerous educational institutions as we bring students into the community. These students will become natural community members through direct on-hand experiences in working with persons in a new environment where the focus is on the person rather than on a diagnosis or aging.

There are congregational areas for gardening, entertainment, playing games, and gardening, and areas where on-to-one conversations can take place to share life histories and stories.

We are a group of passionate citizens who want a better life for older adults in the Region of Waterloo. Our leaders are involved and committed to creating a community life where people have the opportunity to participate in wellbeing programs (mind, body, & soul).

Our Philosophy

Trinity Village has adopted the Eden Alternative as the guiding philosophy of care. The Eden philosophy is based on 10 principles that, when followed, provide guidance on how we can help elders continue living meaningful lives when they become too frail to live independently. It creates an environment that reduces feelings of loneliness, helplessness and boredom experienced by many elders living in care homes.

Eden provides elders with opportunities to be respected and honoured for their wisdom. It provides them with opportunities to give back to their community and to be engaged in activities they find meaningful every day. It fosters an environment where elders want to live, where families want to visit, and where staff wants to work.

Well-being is an approach to care that supports the WHOLE person, that upholds their right to a life full of purpose, connection, empowerment, and possibility… regardless of age or changing abilities.
