What’s important
Family
From childhood, through adulthood, and into elderhood, family is precious. With a vesta home, be empowered to stay connected to the people that matter most.
Community
When you stay home, you contribute to our communities through the services you use, the relationships you maintain, and the causes you value.
Health
We all need our family, friends, community, and nature, to maintain our physical and mental health. All of that can be achieved in your back yard.
Accessible appliances
You will love the beautiful appliances which are all ADA compliant, meaning simple controls, accessible operation, and built-in safety features. All full-sized, with no compromise to function, this appliance package is another way you will stay independent.
Home care services
Your community has home care service providers who are essential to empowering elders to stay home. The vesta 700 is designed to facilitate any caregivers’ services and safety, while respecting and ensuring your privacy and autonomy.
Built-in safety
The vesta 700 is designed to provide safety, comfort, and convenience. You choose the extent of grab bars at the time of purchase, and install as needed later, no big renovations required! A dedicated space for a 2 week earthquake survival kit, fire extinguishers, and the gas fireplace offers reliable heat during power outages.
Make it yours
Finishes & Materials
The vesta 700 has options for how you want your home to feel and look. The flooring, the ceiling, and even the trim can be adjusted to suit your style. The exterior clad also has different styles to choose from. Every home is covered with a high-quality metal roof.
Storage
The massive amount of storage within the vesta 700 can be adjusted to suit your needs. Maybe you don’t want the desk in your bedroom, and just need an even larger closet. Our Project Designers will make sure you get the exact space you need to fit your belongings in.
Bathroom
The bathroom is where you start and end your day. Select a bathtub or stand-up shower with a fold-up bench, everything is accessible, and each option was considered fully for quality, function and safety.
Why this matters
By 2030, the entire baby boomer generation will be over the age of 65. Since their beginning, they have had the capacity to shape our culture as they occupy it. This reality remains, and we are about to discover life beyond adulthood, elderhood.
At family tree homes, we are honoured to present to you, the vesta 700, our way of contributing to the evolution of the seniors’ housing industry. It is a clear benefit for all of us, because after all, we are all elders in the making.

Home care services
No matter your age, we all wish to live in the place and manner of our own choosing. Your community is full of caring service providers that want to help you accomplish that.
Caregivers have the challenge of adapting their services to unsuitable homes, which can lead to injuries, higher costs of services, and even denial of services all together. A vesta home is not only designed for you, but also to facilitate your caregivers.

FAQs
General
Can the vesta 700 fit in my backyard?
Most residential zoned lots are eligible for a vesta home. Our experienced Project Designers will review municipal zoning requirements and site specific conditions to determine eligibility.
Is this a semi-permanent or movable building?
No. A vesta home has a permanent foundation structure, just like a typical house.
What does A.D.A. compliant mean?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) establishes accessibility guidelines for many products. The Canada Standards Association (CSA) adopted this act in 2010 to stay aligned with our largest trading partner.
How soon can I get a vesta 700?
We are booking builds one year out. Reach out to us so you can secure your vesta home.
Design
Can the design of the unit be customized?
Yes. Interior and exterior finish options will be available.
Can I use a vesta home for anything else?
Yes, vesta homes are designed to meet universal design standards, meaning they are ideal for uses such as a rental suite, a home office, or a short-term vacation rental.
Is there a two bedroom option?
Yes. We are working on a 2 bedroom unit (vesta 900), and aim to launch in select cities by the end of 2021. We will also be offering a micro unit (vesta 400) within the same time frame.
Finance
Is a vesta home eligible for a standard mortgage?
Yes, we have partnered with local mortgage brokers to create mortgage products that fit your needs.
How is living at home financially different than living in a care home?
When you buy a vesta home you are investing in yourself. Instead of spending thousands per month at a care home with select options, you are investing in something you own, something you can share.
