The full continuum of care accommodates couples with varying needs or anticipates future care needs, should those happen. You won’t need to move⁠—but also, you won’t want to.

This caring community is perfectly situated to help families from throughout the area. Onsite pampering includes a spa, hair salon and other similar amenities, attended with kindness, care and friendship. It also deserves recognition as the safest, most ideal environment possible for seniors suffering from dementia. The environment is mentally stimulating, with people engaging in golf, bingo and many other inter-activities with companions who are "in the same boat."

Enjoyed the open house at McConnell Chartwell. Staff were very informative and all of the residents we spoke with were very eager to share how happy they were living there. We put our names on waiting list and look forward to moving there in the near future.

We recently moved my dad to Chartwell McConnell Retirement home. The staff, nurses, PSW’s and our amazing coordinator, Lois, have made this transition so much easier for my dad and our family. I highly recommend this establishment. My father is very happy as he celebrates his new life and first happy hour amongst his new friends!

I cannot recommend the Chartwell McConnell Retirement Residence highly enough. The buildings are well maintained, and have a resort feel to them. Beautiful park like setting with lots of activities for the residents. Even better than the buildings are the staff. Kind and compassionate they made my Mom and Dad feel at home in their new surroundings. I hope they are still around in 30 years when its my turn because its the type of retirement home I will want for myself!

I've been here almost 2 months now. I know that for me it was the best decision. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Thank you specially to Michel Bouvrey for always being available to answer my questions. I like all the different activities. The food is also very good. They have a good variety for the meals.

Great place to bring your family members they are treated like family, food and nursing team are amazing!

In September 2020, we moved my 93-year old mother to Forest Valley, as her cognitive decline and mobility issues made it very difficult for us to manage her continuing care. We feel fortunate to have found this wonderful and welcoming place and my mother has transitioned well to the facility, thanks to the very thoughtful and caring staff who do everything possible for the residents. I think it is a testimony to their dedication and perseverance that despite the challenges posed by the Covid crisis, appropriate measures were instituted to safeguard the facility and residents from the virus (no cases here, whereas other seniors residences were hit hard). Even though these measures meant restricted access to loved ones, the staff have also done their best to link families via Zoom calls so that we can keep in contact and be aware of the activities and enrichment programs offered to our loved ones. We offer our highest recommendation for the quality care provided by the floor staff and management of Forest Valley.

After researching different facilities with my siblings, we decided to enroll our mom at Forest Valley Terrace. We definitely made the right decision. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, and our mom loves living there! She has multiple activities that she participates in on a daily basis and all her meals are chef-prepared. Our mom (who is fairly shy) has also made several friends with the other residents. Every time I've contacted Forest Valley Terrace with a question or concern the staff have dealt with my issue immediately. Great staff, great food, great facility! And one of the few long-term care facilities that has never had a single case of Covid. We are so lucky that our mom is living at Forest Valley Terrace!

I'm very impressed with the care [my husband] is receiving. All the staff are very kind and considerate, and I feel comfortable in the knowledge that I chose the right place for him.

Beautiful home with great care. In spite of the covid pandemic all residents are safe and happy.

My husband moved to Forest Valley mid February of this year [2020]. It was their [specialization] in Memory Care that convinced us that they could provide both the care and stimulation he requires - and we haven’t been disappointed. I worried about his transition to new surroundings (which can be especially difficult for those suffering from dementia) but I’m convinced it’s been the right decision.
