The Ontario Leader in Accessible Employment Award is awarded to a business or organization that has created an accessible work environment, values the contribution of persons with disabilities, and promotes the development of an inclusive workplace culture for all.

Finalist: Hillside Haven Retirement Residence

Industry: Senior Care

About: Hillside Haven is a small retirement residence in Cambellford, Ontario. Hillside Haven’s approach to senior living is more than having an address, it’s about caring, and providing a meaningful way of life in a family environment. They want all who live at Hillside Haven to be proud to call the beautiful 160 year old Victorian house their home.

What makes Hillside Haven a leader in accessible employment? Since the beginning days of Hillside Haven, the staff have worked closely with Community Living and E.A.R.N. to hire, train and support staff with various abilities.


“At Hillside Haven Retirement Residence we know that together we can, we do and we will improve the lives of seniors.”

Michael Gestetner, Director, Hillside Haven Retirement Residence
