In the ever-evolving realm of senior living, “Wellings of Whitby stands out as a beacon of active retirement living reimagined for a new generation,” says Natalie Tommy, vice-president of marketing for Wellings, by Nautical Lands Group. Spanning two phases, the community’s first phase is set to unveil this fall, offering 400 apartment suites and a myriad of amenities. Wellings beckons prospective members to embrace a lifestyle characterized by growth, connection, convenience and a profound sense of community.
