Now is the time to explore your senior living options—here’s why

When Heather and her mother began exploring retirement residences, her mother wasn’t convinced the living solution would be the right fit for her lifestyle. Yet, all it took was one tour at Chartwell Oak Ridges to change her mind: “My mother said she felt comfortable and would give it a try.

She has settled in very well and the staff are wonderful. They go out of their way to make her feel at home, they all know her by name, and they are very caring with all residents.”

As society gradually shifts back to pre-pandemic norms, older adults who have delayed a decision to downsize or seek a living arrangement that provides more freedom

289-573-9736 from the responsibilities of home ownership have begun to consider their options again.

There is no denying that for many, the prospect of less time and energy spent on home and property maintenance and more opportunities to socialize, pursue interests, or try something new have endured, if not increased because of the past two years.

A key benefit of life in a retirement residence is having consistent access to staff who are devoted to helping seniors live worry-free, as well as optional care support. “The team at Oak Ridges is especially great, from the initial calls to learn about the residence to now, after move-in. I can’t thank themenough for all their support and assistance. They have been consistently friendly, welcoming, happy to assist and professional,” says Tammy, whose mother recently moved into the residence.

Fellow adult child Rocchina agrees that staff are the highlight of her mother’s retirement living experience: “There are so many aspects of Chartwell that make it a very special home for our mom. The entire staff, including PSWS, nurses, kitchen staff, concierge, and activities coordinator have all been so caring and accommodating to help ensure our mom’s needs are met,” she tells. “The nurses are all so very kind and treat our mom with great care. The PSWS have all been wonderful. They are so gentle and patient with her and assist her when needed. The kitchen staff is readily available to accommodate special meal requests.”

Chartwell Oak Ridges is a retirement community that combines contemporary elegance, the convenience of optional worry-free services, and two lifestyle options: independent supportive living suites and a dedicated assisted living neighbourhood. This empowers seniors to comfortably age in placewithout the need for multiple moves due to the ability to add care services as needs evolve over time.

In addition to services like delicious and wholesome meals, weekly housekeeping, and optional care support, seniors have access to recreational experiences and on-site amenities like a heated indoor pool, fitness centre, and a greenhouse. “Our mom is an Italian Nonna who prided herself in making all meals from scratch. For her to say the food is delicious is the highest compliment,” continuesrocchina.

Close by several convenient amenities and services on Yonge Street—most of which are within walking distance— Chartwell Oak Ridges also enjoys beautiful, forested views due to its location on the Oak Ridges Moraine.

“The food is fantastic here and [the residence has] many fun activities for people to participate in. The suites are nicely laid out with high ceilings and balconies. It is everything we could ask for,” Heather concludes.
