Job Description

Ingleside Retirement Apartments is a distinctive 208-unit high-rise complex dedicated to providing quality housing and supportive living for seniors. Operating as a part of Ingleside Homes, a reputable non-profit organization established in the 1970s, Ingleside Retirement Apartments specializes in offering a safe, affordable, and dignified living environment for low to moderate income older adults. The organization’s mission focuses on enabling seniors to live independently and comfortably, with access to a wide range of healthcare and supportive services designed to enhance their well-being. This mission is fulfilled through a careful blend of community outreach programs, nutritional support, and housing options tailored to the unique needs of their residents. The community recognizes the importance of compassionate, quality care and strives to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where seniors feel respected and valued. Ingleside Retirement Apartments also stands out for its convenient location, which offers accessible public transit options and ample free parking for residents and staff alike.
