Make yourself at home.

At The Horizon, your home comes with a full kitchen, in-suite laundry and a private balcony. Cook your favourite meals, have family over or enjoy a quiet morning outside. You'll also have options beyond your own kitchen: prepared food from The Horizon Market, resident-led community meals or help with meal preparation from our on-site home health provider.

Create your community.

The people who live at The Horizon help shape community life through their interests, ideas and experience. You might tend the garden, lead a group or share a skill. Through our participation program, your contributions also reduce your rent.

Community is the true amenity.

There's something rewarding about living among people who know each other, enjoy doing things together and look out for one another.

A community meal becomes a favourite part of the week. A games tournament brings out friendly competition. People work on projects in the workshop or creative studio, tend the garden or organize a musical evening. Everyone brings different interests and experience, and together more becomes possible.

At The Horizon, residents guide community life, with our team supporting ideas, coordinating activities and helping put plans into practice. You choose how you take part, knowing you have a place in the community.

Curious about life at The Horizon? Here are a few of the questions we hear most often.

Where is The Horizon?

The Horizon is in Esquimalt, just minutes from downtown Victoria.

When does it open?

Anticipated move-ins are summer 2027. Connect with us for updates as dates are confirmed.

Can I visit before The Horizon opens?

We're preparing a space where you can explore floor plans, see materials and finishes, and talk with our team about life at The Horizon. Connect with us to stay informed about when visits will begin.

How is The Horizon different from other independent living communities?

You have your own rental apartment with a full kitchen, in-suite laundry and a private balcony, plus shared spaces for activities and gathering. Residents help guide community life, supported by our team. Your rent includes some home health services, and you choose additional services according to your needs and budget.

Are meals included?

There is no mandatory meal plan. This helps keep rents lower than in traditional independent living communities that include meals, while giving you more choice about what and when you eat. Cook at home, choose prepared food and everyday groceries from The Horizon Market, take part in resident-led community meals or arrange help with meal preparation through our on-site home health provider. The choice is yours.

What is the role of the on-site home health provider?

Our home health provider will have an office at The Horizon and be part of everyday community life, getting to know residents and their needs. Services include housekeeping, meal preparation, personal care, companionship, transportation and support with health needs.

Your rent includes a set amount of home health services each month, so residents can get to know the provider before they need additional support. This makes it easier to arrange services when needs change, including when help is needed on short notice.

How do I arrange services?

Our team helps you coordinate services with our home health provider and other providers. Pay for any services beyond those included in your rent and adjust them as your needs change.

Do I have to participate in community activities?

You choose how much you take part. If you'd like to contribute your time and skills, our participation program offers a rent reduction. Contact us to learn more.
