Memory Care at Chartwell Guildwood
Chartwell Guildwood’s Memory Living Neighbourhood is a supportive and independent environment for seniors living with dementia, located on a secure floor of our brand-new retirement residence in beautiful Guildwood Village. We are not only a safe and inviting home for seniors living with cognitive impairment, but also a resource for families who are looking for support, education and personal counselling services during and after a loved one’s transition to memory care.
Our unique approach to memory care
At Chartwell Guildwood, our unique, person-centred approach to memory care empowers our trained and caring staff to establish strong social connections with residents in order to foster trust and familiarity. We do this by learning about each person’s life history and partnering with families—all in an effort to better understand your loved one’s story and form meaningful relationships that helps us better communicate and ensure your loved one experiences a good day, every day.
Memory care support for families of residents
We understand that caring for a loved one living with dementia is difficult, although rewarding. That’s why to better support the families of our residents, we have a dedicated Dementia Counsellor on-site to provide orientation, facilitate family conferences, and deliver counseling services if desired. You and your family members are also be encouraged to drop by any time to speak with our Memory Living Manager.
