CHARTWELL MCCONNELL RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

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!

Excellent location. Great suites. I am very impressed with the whole operation. It’s like a one-stop shop.

Very nice clean seniors home for independent living. Well-maintained and pleasant.

It's [really just] a big family, but we have our own lives.

BRUYèRE VILLAGE

As a community, Bruyère Village is built on a foundation of independence, support, and inclusivity. We are not a retirement home or long-term care facility, but a place where seniors can age in place, with access to flexible, personalized assisted living services when needed at no extra cost. Our Assisted Living Services for High-Risk Seniors program offers 24/7 supports from licensed staff right in tenants' apartments, allowing them to maintain autonomy without the need for disruptive moves. Tenants enjoy modern amenities such as full kitchens, in-suite laundry, and the option of beautiful river-view apartments overlooking the Ottawa River. For those seeking flexibility, we offer optional meal plans, and for seniors who prefer a fully managed experience, we provide an all-inclusive package in our beautiful bachelor suites. We offer a variety of organized activities and outings to keep tenants socially engaged. We also provide subsidized housing in some of our Villa apartments through the Ottawa Housing Registry, ensuring high-quality, affordable living options for all seniors. Conveniently located near shopping and amenities, the Bruyère Village offers a peaceful, safe nature-filled environment that enhances quality of life.
