About The Manor Village

What kind of community would I want for my mother? The founder and owner of The Manor Village Life Centers, Dr. M Garth Mann, asked himself that very question. The answers he found developed the foundation of the company you see today: a suite of exceptional senior living centers known as The Community with Heart™! Motivated by the changing needs of his mother, Dr. M Garth Mann took it upon himself to visit close to 70 senior housing communities across Canada and the United States. From those visits he developed the concept of providing an exceptional Lifestyle Experience® for The Manor Villages. During the 40 years that have since passed, Dr. Mann and his wife Karen, together with their children, have been innovators in design, development, building and managing award-winning retirement communities for seniors living in Canada and the United States. The Mann family and their entire employee team are honored to have the opportunity — and the privilege — to make a difference in the lives of our valued Senior Residents and look forward to welcoming you to The Community with Heart™! The Manor Village is an equal opportunity employer and a drug-free workplace.
