Victoria Landing has

so much to offer

Looking for a place to retire with all the comforts of home plus a whole bunch of ex-
tras?
Then look no further than Victoria Landing Retirement Residence on the southeast
corner of First Street and Victoria Avenue.
Built on the site of the former St. Michael’s Academy, Victoria Landing boasts 136
suites on four floors and offers luxurious living in a safe environment. With staff on duty
24 hours a day, as well as a nurse, residents are sure to feel welcome, comfortable and se-
cure.
“People are able to continue to live independently in their suites and we offer the sup-
ports to allow them to do that,” said executive director Claudia Nohr. “Basically, people
can enjoy their day-to-day and let us do the work for them.”
Victoria Landing provides three meals a day, housekeeping, linen and towel service, and
maintenance. There’s an emergency pull-cord system in every suite, and extensive recre-
ational programming as well, with the added bonus of a secure building.
“Nobody gets a key, nobody gets a code – everything is controlled by our front desk
staff,” Nohr said. “So everybody buzzes to come in and everybody is asked to sign in, so
that way we always have accountability for everybody who’s in our building.”
There is a waiting list, but suites are always available, Nohr said, since people are not
necessarily ready to move when there’s a vacancy.
“A lot of people on our waiting list are basically making sure they have a plan for the
future should something happen,” Nohr said. “But meanwhile, they may not be ready to
make that lifestyle change just yet. So currently we do have some availability in our build-
ing.”
Victoria Landing offers one-bedroom suites ranging from 421 to 552 square feet. Dif-
ferent layouts are available, and most suites have balconies. Two-bedroom suites are also
available, but there aren’t as many of those as there are one-bedrooms, since according to
Nohr, most residents find one bedroom is sufficient.
