Wawel Villa Seniors Residences Information

Wawel Villa was first thought of forty years ago when a number of members of the Polish community began thinking about where they will live and how they will be looked after in their golden years. As the name suggests, Wawel Villa is named after the Grande Castle of Polish kings in Krakow, Poland. While rooted in Polish tradition, our services are open to all seniors. Wawel Villa Inc was established in 1968 as a charitable non-profit organization with the express purpose of providing affordable living for seniors. In 1978 the first senior’s residence with 57 beds was opened on Bloor Street West in Toronto and was operated until 1997. In 1982 our present 92 room charitable senior’s residence, located on a picturesque 3 ½ acre ravine lot in south-west Mississauga was opened. The home is in the village of Clarkson just steps away from public transportation, and the shops and restaurants of Lakeshore Road West. In 1996 our 76 unit Senior’s supportive apartment housing project also in south west Mississauga began operations. Plans are underway to expand the Wawel Villa continuum
