Suomi-Koti is nestled in the heart of Toronto’s beautiful Leaside neighbourhood, surrounded by leafy residential streets, shops, and essential services.
On the main floor, you'll find everything from medical and dental offices to a pharmacy and hair salon—conveniently located under one roof. Our 2nd to 6th floors are home to our residents’ suites, available through life-lease (“koti-oikeus”, known as “home-privilege.”) or rental options. And on the 7th floor, our Long-Term Care unit offers round-the-clock care along with lovely views of the surrounding parks and treetops of Leaside.
Suomi-Koti Today
Mission
Suomi-Koti, Toronto is a non-profit, Seniors' Centre dedicated to providing excellence in compassionate multi-level care and services, housing and activities for the Finnish community.
Many of Suomi-Koti’s seniors are active and busy in the local community and around the city. Many of the residents came to Canada in the waves of immigration post World War II seeking better economic opportunities. Finns are fiercely independent and Suomi-Koti nurtures and celebrates the ‘sisu’ (grit/strength) and ‘itsenäisyys’ (independence) of its residents.
Suomi-Koti isn’t just a seniors’ residence—it’s a home and a vibrant community that provides care in Finnish and English, honouring the heritage, language, food, customs, and traditions of Finnish-Canadian seniors, while ensuring the highest quality of care for our elders. For aging adults, cultural familiarity is proven to improve quality of life and mental well-being, especially for those with dementia.
Suomi-Koti is a very well-regarded facility with a strong sense of community, a focus on cultural sensitivity, and a dedicated staff.
Seniors age with dignity at Suomi-Koti. Suomi-Koti offers various levels of care—from independent apartments to long-term nursing—so residents can age in place. That continuity creates stability, peace of mind, and deep community bonds that are invaluable.
For the eighth consecutive year, Finland has been named the happiest country in the world, according to the World Happiness Report.
