An on-campus seniors’ village will expand Trent’s role as a globally recognized age-friendly university, leveraging expertise from the Trent Centre for Aging & Society and the Trent/Fleming School of Nursing. It will provide hands-on learning for students, advance aging research, and address local seniors’ housing needs. The leased land will generate revenue to support students and facilities.

The location for the long-term care home and future seniors’ village—on the northwest corner of Water Street and Woodland Drive—was chosen for a variety of reasons including proximity to campus and nearby communities, municipal servicing, land-use planning and the nature landscape.

Those interested in being added to the waitlist should visit Home and Community Care Supports - Central East https://ontariohealthathome.ca/region/central-east/. 

The wait list will open approximately 90 days before the home opens, which is expected in Fall 2027.
