Senior Apartment Living
We so often hear, “why would I consider a retirement community if I don’t need care?” The answer is easy: because you may be ready to simplify your life by downsizing from a house that comes with accessibility challenges or burdensome chores like lawn care, shoveling, costly repairs, cleaning, and more. Or perhaps instead of a traditional condo or rental complex for all ages, you’d like to:
- Live amongst a community of peers that feels safe and quiet
- Enjoy optional opportunities for casual socialization
- Participate in senior-focused fitness classes and events
- Take advantage of great on-site amenities
There’s also peace of mind knowing staff and neighbours are around if and when you need them—both accessible at night, in the event of an emergency, or simply when you feel like being in the company of others.
These are just a few of the benefits of senior apartment living at Chartwell. A unique offering for independent older adults who value their freedom and do not require care, you can elect to receive services like:
- Housekeeping
- À la carte meals
- Transportation services
- And more depending on the Chartwell residence
Our rental apartments are available in a variety of sizes and layouts—from studios to two-bedrooms—and some of our retirement homes also have independent seniors’ townhomes or bungalows on-site.
Another advantage of choosing senior apartment living at Chartwell? If your needs change in future, you’ll be able to opt into more services and care options in our retirement residence, delivered by the staff you already know and trust—thus avoiding the need for another big move in future.
