Livingstone Manor Retirement Residence

Welcome to Livingstone Manor

Historic Retirement Living with Heart in Listowel, Ontario

Situated at the heart of Listowel in the County of North Perth, Livingstone Manor is a true local treasure. Built in 1880 as a private home by brothers in the linseed oil business, this grand residence has evolved over time—from family estate, to funeral home, and finally, since 1988, to a beloved retirement residence. Today, under the dedicated ownership of Duke and Sue since 2009, Livingstone Manor continues to offer seniors a warm, elegant, and supportive home, rich in history and charm.
