You have the flexibility to choose from one- or two-bedroom apartments, all featuring well-appointed layouts, and can also enjoy à la carte meal options at an additional fee.
Uniquely, we also offer seniors’ townhomes on the grounds that are approximately 1,100 sq. ft. in size and include two spacious bedrooms, a full kitchen, and in-suite laundry facilities. Ideal for recent downsizers, couples, or individuals looking for more personal space, townhome residents also enjoy their own private driveway, garage, and patio, as well as monthly housekeeping.
Flexible care and support
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.

Our newly renovated retirement residence is just south of the Trans-Canada Highway, so it’s easy for you and your friends and family to get around. Surrounded by natural beauty but close to convenient local amenities like pharmacies, banks, walking trails, restaurants, and liquor stores, it’s not surprising that Lively is a sought-after place to live. The city of Sudbury is a 15–20-minute drive away.
Things to do in Lively
No need to choose between natural beauty and a dynamic small city: you can enjoy both! Practice your swing at the Lively Golf Course or the Stone Hill Golf Course. The nearby 2-km Hillfield Trail offers wheelchair accessible sections and plenty of scenic appeal. The Fielding Bird Sanctuary, a five-minute drive from Chartwell Meadowbrook, is an excellent birdwatching and wildlife viewing spot. Look to nearby Sudbury for shopping at the New Sudbury Centre and interesting venues and events. Check out live theatre, comedy, and musical performances at Yes Theatre and Fraser Auditorium.

The well-kept Bell Park Walkway along the waterfront of Ramsey Lake in the heart of the city is another popular destination.
