It is the perfect place for people who have lived for many years in a rural environment, but equally so for people who have lived in a city and have sought the solace of the prairie landscape. This 55+ aging-in-place community features independent homes in a variety of sizes with in-home health services available if needed. Unique amenities and a setting that is unbeatable means residents can stay
as busy as they like or they can simply enjoy the beauty of their surroundings. The beauty of living here isn’t only the beauty of the surroundings. It is the freedom to live independently doing the things you enjoy and the opportunity to try something new. It is the peace of watching a hawk soar or the bustle of market day at the Glen, the splendour of enjoying a prairie sunset from your deck or the joy of awakening to birdsong. The beauty of living here is the freedom of choices and the variety of options; it is the reassurance of knowing onsite health care is available if needed; it is the pleasure of making new friends and the comfort of maintaining old relationships. An Idea
Crossmount was conceived in 2008 by a local businessman who felt there was a need for a new kind of ageing-in-place seniors’ community. Seeking to honour his Scottish family roots, Crossmount is named for the home in Scotland where one side of the family originates, while the first neighbourhood of independent houses, Fortingall, is the village from which the other side stems. As a philosophy, the development of Crossmount seeks to minimize its environmental footprint while utilizing the existing trees and vegetation as an ongoing amenity for its residents . A Place
Located just five kilometers south of Saskatoon on Lorne Avenue (Highway 219), Crossmount is much more than just a place to live. It is also home to The Glen which boasts an event venue, a "Barn" with a market café and resident-run greenhouse, and Saskatchewan’s largest cidery, The Crossmount Cider Company. Onsite apple and pear orchards, outdoor decks and seating areas, and a natural water feature which turns into a skating surface during the winter offer something for everyone whether you live onsite or are just visiting. A Way of Life
At the heart of Crossmount is the desire to provide all residents with the opportunity to a rich and varied life through active and healthy living, all in a prairie oasis on the outskirts of Saskatoon. A true aging-in-place community, Crossmount features a centre of excellence in health where residents have access to onsite in-home health services so they can stay in their homes for as long as they choose. An onsite dental practice and physiotherapy practice are also located in the Crossmount Centre for Healthy Aging. Both of these spaces are open to the public.
