“Lead an urban lifestyle centred on connections, culture and cuisine in the heart of Calgary’s Mission District.”
At Chartwell Fountains of Mission, the safety of our residents and staff is our highest priority. While we have always maintained strong infection protocols, we have enhanced our safety measures, continue to follow all government directives for heightened infection control, and foster safe social experiences within our residence for everyone’s safety and peace of mind.
As you stride up the manicured pathway to At Chartwell Fountains of Mission Retirement Residence under canopies of mature trees—aware of how a blend of traditional buildings and modern homes endow the street with distinct curb appeal—you’ll be hard pressed to believe such an intimate, tucked-away location could be within five minutes of thriving downtown Calgary.
An established neighbourhood with metropolitan amenities
Our residents cherish the neighbourhood we call home—many of them having lived in the Mission District their whole lives—especially as we’re within a short distance from many local amenities, including boutique shopping, fine-dining restaurants and popular cafés on the red mile, Historic 4th Street. Boasting walking paths along the winding Elbow River, leafy parks, the Scotiabank Saddledome—home to the Calgary Stampede—and numerous local eateries, grocery stores and pharmacies, it’s no wonder our location has one of the best walking scores in the city.
Conversation, culture and cuisine
Many of our residents find that once they move into At Chartwell Fountains of Mission, their social network quickly expands. The lifestyle at our retirement community is designed to promote conversation and connection: walk through our doors and you’ll see people chatting together in the bistro over a cup of coffee, painting together in the art room, listening to someone play the piano in our fireplace lounge, or exchanging thoughts during a guest speaker presentation or meeting of the Men’s Club. Our lovely dining room is also a place of lively conversation and laughter, inspired by the delicious dining experience delivered by Chef Lee, our award-winning Chef de Cuisine who prepares meals emphasizing fresh, locally-sourced fare, seasonal flavours and beautiful plate presentation.
Traditional touches and beautiful accommodations
Chartwell Fountains of Mission has a cozy village feel, thanks to unique amenities like a resident-run “General Store,” an abundance of open-concept common space, as well as traditional touches like stone fireplaces and water features. Meanwhile, our suites—including our beautiful studio-plus-dens—are considered some of the most spacious in the city, featuring unique layouts, Juliet balconies and an abundance of natural light.
