Experience flexible retirement living surrounded by forest, wildlife, and scenic beauty in Thunder Bay.
Chartwell Thunder Bay is a grand retirement residence located in the desirable Port Arthur area, offering an independent living lifestyle and seniors’ townhomes for those who appreciate the peacefulness and inspiration of nature. Nestled beside a protected conservation area and enveloped by pristine Boreal Forest, our retirement community is just steps from the tranquil shores of Boulevard Lake and connected to walking paths that lead to nearby Centennial Park.
Living along such rich natural greenspace means residents regularly enjoy wildlife sightings—especially white-tailed deer—while dining with friends in our bright, windowed dining room or relaxing on the grounds. These unique daily experiences contribute to the naturally serene and welcoming atmosphere that sets our home apart. We’re also conveniently located close to city amenities, including a shopping centre just five minutes away. Our residence offers the perfect blend of nature and accessibility.
Feel at home—and part of a close-knit community
When you walk through our doors, you’ll be struck by the thoughtful design and rich colour palette of our senior living residence. Our home has a feeling of grandeur, thanks to our striking staircase, stone fireplace, soaring ceilings and bright dining room, featuring large windows overlooking our lush backyard. In addition to well-appointed studio and one-bedroom suites, we also have two-bedroom suites with two bathrooms and seniors’ townhomes—unique offerings in the Thunder Bay area.
Though our home feels spacious, you’ll find there’s a palpable sense of community among our residents and staff, who support and enjoy one another. Here, you may find yourself relaxing in our fireplace lounge with a good book, enjoying a great meal and conversation with friends in the dining room, or getting some fresh air as you travel the walking paths that wind around our building and connect to the nearby city hiking trail.
The social, worry-free lifestyle you deserve
Life at Chartwell Thunder Bay is about choice and flexibility. Our residents lead active, fulfilling lives with the peace of mind that comes from knowing support is available when needed. Services like dining, housekeeping, and optional personal care—including assistance with medications or daily routines—are designed to adapt to your preferences.
We also offer a robust calendar of social, fitness, and recreational experiences that celebrate the natural beauty around us. Whether it’s morning stretches near the treeline, afternoon walks through the conservation area, or evenings by the outdoor firepit, every day offers a chance to connect, recharge, and live well.
