Chartwell Quail Creek

Experience warm, supportive retirement living in a charming, small-town setting. 

Chartwell Quail Creek is an established retirement residence in Renfrew featuring a strong local reputation for service, care, and the friendliness that our tight-knit community is known for. Surrounded by mature trees, we’re conveniently across the street from Renfrew Victoria Hospital and a long term care residence, making us an ideal spot for seniors who may have a spouse living in LTC.  

We offer a full complement of convenient services—including delicious and wholesome meals, housekeeping and personal care options like medication management—so you can lead the safe, social, and supportive lifestyle you deserve. Here, you can choose from a selection of classic studios and recently refreshed one-bedroom suites. When you aren’t relaxing in your comfortable living space, you may find yourself enjoying one of our on-site amenities, all of which are accessible on our ground floor. They include a multipurpose room, library, billiards room, piano lounge, and games room. 

Small town, country charm

You can feel the warmth the moment you step through Chartwell Quail Creek’s doors into our front entrance, featuring inviting hues, traditional furnishings, and a welcoming ambience. That same approachability extends to our team of longstanding staff, who strive each day to make your life happier, healthier, and more fulfilling. We want you to truly feel a part of our community, where you can socialize, pursue your hobbies, or get involved in a new interest, all while leading the life you’ve worked so hard to achieve in your retirement years. 

Making new friends—and reconnecting with old friends

If you’ve lived in or around Renfrew your whole life, don’t be surprised to find once you move in that the people you’ve grown up with are your new neighbours! One of the best aspects of life in our retirement home is our residents themselves—a down to earth crowd who love to socialize over a hot cup of coffee, picnic in our lovely outdoor space and play a competitive game of cards. With so many different activities on offer, it’s easy to make new friends and enjoy great conversation and laughter each day.

Activities and amenities

Our retirement residence is a lively and active community of seniors enjoying a social and supportive lifestyle. We are down to earth, welcoming, and enjoy getting together through the activities we love to pursue. That could be a lively and competitive Euchre tournament, a workout with knitting needles in the knitting club, or with exercise bands in one of our regular stretching classes. We appreciate the fact that worship services are available to us in the residence, including hymn sings. We love relaxing at happy hour or having a laugh watching Lucy in our classic TV get-togethers. Being out and about is also important to us, with shopping trips, barbecues in the park, and more.

Retirement living in Renfrew   

Surrounded by the wide-open green spaces of friendly, small-town Renfrew, Chartwell Quail Creek is located on central Albert Street, across the road from Renfrew Victoria Hospital, and minutes away from other medical services. Residents can stroll to pick up a coffee at Tim Hortons, and a quick drive from Metro and Walmart. 

Nestled on the banks of the Bonnechere River, Renfrew is an easy hour’s drive from Ottawa, retaining a charming rural feel with its historic downtown. At the same time, the Ma-te-Way Recreation Centre, which will soon complete a major expansion, offers residents up-to-date recreational amenities and programs. 

Things to do in Renfrew   

Renfrew may be a small town, but the list of things to do is long and varied. The historic downtown, with its beautiful, old post office is also home to interesting boutiques and local independent restaurants, including the popular Bonnechere Bakery & Bistro, featuring homemade treats and sandwiches. The town is also large enough to support many major restaurant chains, dotted throughout the region, giving residents lots of dining choices.  

You’ll find even more food, drink, and entertainment fun in the town’s bustling event schedule, including an annual Bluegrass Festival, a craft beer and food truck festival, and Taste of the Valley. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy several local attractions, parks, and trails. The Renfrew Millennium Trail is popular with walkers, and O’Brien Park is too, with its amphitheatre and benches. It’s right next to McDougall Mill Museum and the swinging bridge, one of only three in Canada. The guided tours at the Bonnechere Caves in nearby Eganville also make for a fascinating visit.
