WATERSIDE - A VIVA RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place is the kind of place we dream of retiring to when we get to that age. Overlooking the Mississippi River, near pleasant shops in this peaceful village, it’s a seniors’ oasis. And still, it’s just a half hour away from Ottawa, making it ideal for seniors with family in the west end of the city.

And still, there are distinctly excellent aspects of Chartwell Stonehaven.

WATERSIDE - A VIVA RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

My uncle stayed at Waterside for over 2 years the staff and employees were very accommodating, respectful and very friendly. The residence is amazingly clean. the food is very tasty. with all the activities they offer. I would be hard not to find something to do. Whether you need a place for the short term, or longer, this would be a good decision.

I stayed at Waterside for two weeks after hip replacement surgery. The entire staff is amazing! It is apparent that the team thoroughly enjoy working together which made my stay so positive.

Recently, my mom and dad made Waterside their new home, and they have settled in quickly, making new friends, enjoying the events and facilities, and the meals. They chose Waterside (above other homes) because they were made to feel welcome right from their first visit, and the bright openness of the rooms was an attraction for them. Trigger and her team made their move easy and stress-free, and the staff team has been terrific in taking care of their needs. I am happy to see them so comfortable there.

Waterside has the best of everything. Medical staff on duty, great food. [There are] many events if you’re active, both within Waterside and also by bus. [There’s] your own garden plot, a saltwater pool, movies, entertainment, also a bar. Who could ask for more?

Moving a loved one into a retirement community is not easy, it's a big change for everyone and a stressful decision. I will always be grateful to Heather Luneburg for taking the time to clearly communicate the benefits of Waterside and for her diligent follow-up and help with planning. She is not only kind and patient but clearly an expert on all aspects of senior living. I learned a lot and feel better prepared for this next stage of my family's life. She is the ideal ambassador for this beautiful facility.

CHARTWELL STONEHAVEN RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

My mother decided to move to Kanata from Montreal after my father died in 2022. When she arrived she had a sudden health crisis and I had to quickly find a residence for her. We had visited Stonehaven before and I went in to see if they had room. From the second I walked in the help I received was overwhelming. We were able to arrange for her to move in a week later and get the care she needed to recover, and for me to be able to keep going. Mom has been there for 6 months now and is adjusting well, she also has access to a doctor - no small thing in 2023. She has new friends and enjoys the woods in the area and is looking forward to using the courtyard in better weather. All of the staff are outstanding. I cannot thank them enough, they made a tough time so much easier.

Having lived in our family home in Kanata for 50 years my wife died and our children and grandchildren had all moved to their own homes I was left in our house alone . This was not a pleasant way of life ! On the advice of a home-visiting nurse who had treated my wife I moved to Stonehaven Retirement Residence . This made a vast improvement to my life ! I was warmly welcomed by the staff and by a few friends who were already living there . Many of the staff had been there for years and were adept at handling the problems of elderly residents . The food was good , plentiful with a vast variety of options always available . The variety of accommodation was impressive , all units had ample closet space and good private bathrooms . Plenty of activities to suit most tastes were always available, with professional entertainers coming frequently (except during the virus period) . A qualified nurse and a nursing assistant are on duty 24 hours a day and each day of the year. A bus is permanently present to take residents to many attractions, picnics, shopping areas and other facilities. There is an enclosed open-air area in the center of the residence where we can sit peacefully in a pleasant garden . During the whole Covid virus period of disruptions no Stonehaven resident caught the virus or any of its variations - the staff kept us well protected ! ! ! They should be proud and congratulated for this achievement . I am completely satisfied that I moved from living alone to this residence .

My mom has been a resident at the Chartwell Stonehaven Seniors Residence since July 2021. It has been a very positive experience thus far and I have no doubt it will continue to be a positive experience moving forward. The residence is beautifully maintained! It is clean , bright and welcoming! The staff is exceptional! The director of the residence sets a very positive tone and the staff follow suit! The people who run Stonehaven are dynamic, caring, loving, fun and genuinely interested in working with seniors! Their sincerity shows! They have been diligent and thorough in respecting all guidelines during this pandemic! They have made the safety of the residents the number one priority and as a result they have not had any issues with cases of Covid or variants! My mom feels very safe here and I have peace of mind!

We helped my mother and father-in-law relocate to Chartwell Stonehaven in the middle of Covid. Even though logistics were difficult due to covid, the staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. The facility is bright, clean and spacious. Staff are helpful and kind. I would recommend this home for anyone searching for a senior's residence.

Stonehaven was our Mum’s home for over 3 years and during that time we were always very satisfied with all aspects of the residence. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, very attentive to individual needs and Mum always complimented the food. Before the pandemic our Mum enjoyed the social activities and especially the frequent outings and shopping trips. During the pandemic, Stonehaven did everything “by the book” with an extra dose of caution, and thankfully remained COIVD-free. As restrictions lifted our Mum again enjoyed walking the well-kept grounds and the neighbourhood, including the beautiful forest across the street. Recommending Stonehaven comes without reservation — until her needs recently changed, Stonehaven was ideal.
