Chartwell Lansing is a warm, close-knit retirement residence tucked into a quiet residential street in the bustling Yonge-Sheppard neighbourhood of Willowdale. Known for our welcoming atmosphere and personalized care, our residence offers the comfort of independent senior living in a setting that feels like home. Here, you’ll enjoy peace of mind with flexible services tailored to your evolving needs—all while being just a block from Yonge Street and steps away from shopping, restaurants, cinemas, pharmacies, banks, healthcare facilities, and places of worship. Enjoy a short walk to the North York Library, attend a concert at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, or visit the farmers’ market at Mel Lastman Square—you’ll always have something to enjoy right outside your door.
Here, you can choose from a selection of bright, spacious studio and one-bedroom suites with convenient kitchenettes to make your own. If you drive, we also offer ample on-site parking for your ease and flexibility. Additionally, we’re currently undergoing a beautiful remodel of our common spaces and corridors to further enhance the living experience for our residents, creating refreshed, inviting areas where you can relax and socialize.
Beyond our proximity to great neighbourhood amenities, one of the most valued aspects of life at Chartwell Lansing is the peace of mind that comes from knowing your care can adapt with you over time. We offer independent living with flexible, personalized services designed to meet your unique needs and preferences. These may include medication management, help with morning or evening routines, escorts to meals, and much more.
What truly sets us apart is our ability to support heavier physical care needs through services like lift and transfer assistance—something not commonly available in traditional independent living settings. Our tenured staff are on-site 24/7, and we have an on-site nurse to offer daily wellness support. Through our Care Assist program, you can comfortably age in place with the confidence that your needs will be met today and tomorrow.
Chartwell Lansing is best described as an active, friendly, and down-to-earth place where meaningful connections thrive. Whether you're enjoying a conversation over coffee in the bistro, sharing laughs during a game of cards, joining a fitness class, or browsing in the library, there’s always something happening that brings people together. Outings with friends and strolls on our peaceful walking paths are part of everyday life here, and our beautiful outdoor patio surrounded by mature trees offers a serene escape. You decide how to spend each day, with the freedom to do what you love—and the reassurance that we’re here to support you when you need us.
To ensure personalized support, our Care Assist program—an offering of à la carte wellness services and all-inclusive care packages—further provides you with the flexibility to add or remove services. This empowers you to create a customized care plan that meets your unique needs, preferences, and abilities so you can feel your best each day.
