Kinwell Retirement Communities

A place to belong.

1,400+

residences across Western Canada in the next five years.

Live Well is pioneering a new model of wellness retirement living in Canada, with plans to deliver over 1,400 residences across Western Canada in the next five years. Our long-term vision includes establishing one of Canada’s first Indigenous-owned real estate investment trusts (REITs), bringing together Kinwell Retirement Communities and other Live Well income-generating properties under one cohesive real estate portfolio.

With their existing high quality portfolio in Western Canada, we have chosen Marwest Seniors Living as the Lead Seniors Operator for our planned wellness retirement community projects.

Below we have highlighted a few of our retirement community projects that are currently in progress.

Forward-thinking design

Kinwell communities are designed through a forward-thinking lens: not as conventional retirement residences, but as next-generation, wellness-oriented communities centred on dignity, connection, longevity, health and social integration.

Healthy Living by Design™ shapes every space, from non off-gassing materials, advanced air filtration and circadian lighting, to biophilic interiors calibrated for older adults. Daily life is supported by the Wellness Pavilion, the Integrated Mobility Loop and dedicated cognitive and brain health programming.

The objective is not luxury. The objective is longevity of independence.

The Wellness Pavilion

Health infrastructure, not an amenity. Capability-centred spaces for physiotherapy and rehabilitation, balance and fall-prevention training, low-impact fitness, stretch, yoga and mobility, treatment rooms for visiting clinicians, and infrared sauna and steam.

The Integrated Mobility Loop

A continuous indoor walking loop connecting the lobby, lounges, elevators, Wellness Pavilion, dining and social spaces, with marked distances of 50, 100 and 250 metres. It encourages daily movement, supports measurable progress, reduces fall risk and reinforces autonomy, year-round.

Lifelong learning

Every Kinwell community includes learning stations where residents can join seniors education programs through video tutorials, at their own pace. Onsite coordinators help each resident get set up and comfortable, so no one is left out because of technology. For many residents, going back to school is one of the most rewarding parts of life at Kinwell.

Generations together

The Kinwell Continuum Care Campus in Surrey and the Kinwell Seniors Continuing Care District at Peach Hills are planned with child daycare embedded in the campus. The connection between children and seniors is remarkable. Daily time together lifts quality of life for residents, and it builds in children a lasting respect for their elders.

Healthy Living by Design™

In collaboration with our First Nations partners

Our Kinwell communities are being advanced in collaboration with our First Nations partners. Located off reserve and on head-leased First Nation lands, and open to all seniors, they embed Indigenous values, participation, culturally integrated placemaking and long-term economic ownership, rooted in reconciliation, stewardship and intergenerational prosperity.

This represents a significant evolution beyond the conventional seniors housing models found in Canada today, and a model for how Indigenous partners, experienced operators, developers and capital partners can work together to create inclusive, financially sustainable and socially impactful communities.
