Welcome to Chartwell Bankside
Choose a quiet retreat with friendly faces, flexible support, and a view you’ll love.
Chartwell Bankside is a peaceful, newly renovated retirement community featuring independent living with optional care services in our main residence, and unique seniors’ apartments on campus—each designed to support your lifestyle preferences. Nestled in a quiet, well-kept neighbourhood in Kitchener, our lush location is a walker’s paradise, as we are within close distance to many local amenities—including Highland Hills shopping plaza—and back onto a serene conservation area that brings nature right to your doorstep. Our residents enjoy lovely leafy views that change with the seasons and often admire the trees, wildlife, and our koi pond from our large back deck. It’s a tranquil retreat with all the comforts of city living nearby.
The right level of support for you
At Chartwell Bankside, we offer two flexible living options to meet your needs and goals:
- Independent living services in our main residence, where you can benefit from all-inclusive support like dining, housekeeping, and care and wellness services tailored to your preferences.
- Independent seniors’ apartments in a separate building on campus, ideal for active older adults who are downsizing or seeking privacy and autonomy, with optional access to package enhancements.
Our dedicated, longstanding staff are here to support you and help you feel your best, allowing you to spend your time and energy on what’s most important to you. Personal support services can include things like medication management, assistance with your morning or evening routine, and much more. Whether you're looking for daily support or a lighter touch, our flexible options make it easy to live confidently and comfortably.
Modern, open-concept living
At Chartwell Bankside, all our amenity spaces serve as an extension to your personal living space. Our residence features a modern, open concept feel and a welcoming ambiance. Recent renovations reflect both comfort and functionality, creating a setting that’s easy to navigate and enjoy. Newly-renovated amenities include our great hall—which serves as our activity space—dining room, bistro, and back patio.
Here, you can enjoy scenic views of our conservation area while pursuing your interests—whether that’s attending a musical performance, joining a group outing, or relaxing in the garden. Optional leisure and social activities, outings, and entertainment are always available, alongside amenities like a fitness centre, chapel and salon. It’s a lifestyle designed around your freedom—with support and connection when you want it.
