choices. They can also visit the design boutique

As for age-in-place features, each unit has
a walk-in shower with a seat, and master en
suites and bedrooms have 36-inch doorways,
which can facilitate walkers, wheelchairs and
emergency services.
Another nice feature for seniors is the barbecue
situation on the extra-large balconies.
"What a lot of people can't do as they age is lift a 20- or
40-pound tank of propane and cart that into their place, so
we've actually run the natural gas supply to each balcony,"
Vander Kooy says.
A stone's throw away from shopping and restaurants and
just two kilometres from Assiniboine Forest, the location is
another plus.
"You can enjoy nature, the country, as well as city services,
without having to jump in your car and go anywhere," Vander
Kooy says. "And yet speaking of cars, we have indoor heated
parking included with every apartment, and there are plenty
of secondary parking spots available."
Getting out and about is easy at The Link. And when the time
comes, so is moving out.
"They can terminate their lease voluntarily anytime with three-
months notice and receive their full entrance fee back. And if
they do go into a personal care home, then it's deemed to be a
one-month rental period and the full entrance fee is returned.
"It's a very easy exit strategy. It's simple, it's clean and it's
effective. It's almost like cash in the bank. That is very much
appreciated when people's lives change."
