Activities and amenities

At Chartwell Pinewood, we think of ourselves as a family, and love getting together to chat, keep fit, sing, dance, listen, learn, reflect, worship, and, of course, relax. You’ll find us staying fit during a Rhythm ‘N’ Moves class in our fitness studio. We may be gathering for Happy Hour, or out on a trip to Pembroke Mall. There’s live entertainment tonight, and if the weather’s good tomorrow, we’ll be working in the garden. There’s always time to relax in the bistro with a cup of coffee, or attend a service in the chapel. Yet, while we love being active, we also love being independent, spending the day any way we wish!

Retirement living in Pembroke   

Set back on Pembroke Street East, and steps away from Pembroke Mall, Canadian Tire, Walmart, and other major retailers, Chartwell Pembroke is also minutes to the waterfront of the Ottawa River, parks and nature trails, golf courses, the curling centre, and Kinsmen Park, featuring an aquatic centre and pickleball courts. The Trans-Canada Highway is a quick drive away. Our residents are served by nearby medical clinics on Pembroke Street, and Pembroke Regional Hospital. We also enjoy being next door to Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village! 

Things to do in Pembroke   

Nestled in the heart of the Ottawa Valley on the shores of the scenic Ottawa River, Pembroke is a charming small town about an hour-and-a-half drive from Ottawa. A hub that embraces its rich past in the architecture of the historic buildings that grace its lively downtown, you may know Pembroke for its 30 Heritage Murals that dot the city. If you are a walker, you’ll enjoy the Kiwanis Waterfront Trail, and the Champlain Trail Museum and Pioneer Village (next door to Chartwell Pinewood), worth a visit for its 1800s schoolhouse, log house and church. 

Pembroke offers a vibrant shopping scene, with local independent fashion and gift boutiques sprouting in the downtown core. You’ll find two malls and power centres to satisfy all other retail needs, including Walmart and Winners. Don’t forget about the equally vibrant restaurant scene: be sure to visit the Whitewater Brewing Company for locally brewed beers and casual dining, not to mention a full range of chain restaurants throughout the town.
