We could highlight many exceptional things about this community, but memory care at the Ravines' is offered by experts highly specialized in this sphere. The interior design focuses on neighbourhoods, where dementia patients live in familiar surroundings that avoid the confusion created by more clinical environments. The Ravines' Healthy Minds Program is multi-faceted, focused on providing compassionate, well-rounded care for seniors with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Included in the program are support groups for family and other loved ones, music therapy that stimulates memory and positive interaction, staff trained in the Gentle Persuasive Approach, therapy through multi-sensory environments, and other components.

NES has everything going for it! The location is situated a stones throw from the metro, the pharmacy, a variety of coffee shops, bookstore and banking. The staff are accommodating, thoughtful and caring. The caring attitude extends beyond the resident to include family and friends. The manager, Brendan King has been very forthcoming and helpful meeting the special needs of my brother in law. They have a variety of daily activities for all to enjoy. The meals include a delicious variety and the open cafe is a great hub for social engagement. We were very happy with NES while my mother in law lived there for years. The medical staff were attentive and reassuring. Now her son, my brother in law is very happy living there. He’s happy to call this his home and his family.

My mother moved to NES a few years ago and she is enjoying the lifestyle. The members of the staff are friendly and accommodating as they seek to respond to the residents' needs. A good variety of daily activities and outings are available to the residents. Recently, the team helped us celebrate my mother's birthday in the banquet hall. We were able to select the menu choices and the food was beautifully prepared. We look forward to many more celebrations!

Moved my Mom here in March. Great location: clean and well maintained. Terrific staff from top to bottom: customer service, maintenance, food services, nursing…everyone is friendly, caring and attentive. A big thank you to the team at Chartwell NES!

This is an exceptional retirement residence in every way. The facilities are sparkling clean and safe, with tons of spaces for residents to explore and relax, and lots of activities. The staff are so caring and attentive. Great central location too, with lots of walking and shopping opportunities in Beechwood Village.

I'm writing on behalf of my mother-in-law, who moved into the residence early in the new year. She is happy with the suite and feels safe and secure. The staff is very courteous and competent, and quite proactive at anticipating her needs. The food is excellent with many choices.

My thanks to staff for their excellent help as I was at the Ravines for respite care for a hip replacement.

There are lots of things I appreciate about Ravines. I think the most significant benefit for me as a caregiver for my dad is that I'm seeing people that I know, who work there, other residents, and it's all part of a community where you don't feel like you're on your own. That's a big [relief] for me... Dad has some challenges with his memories and then he had a fall, and when he came out of the hospital, it was so nice to know that he had this place to go to, to transition to a place where he had more care.

Sunday February 7th, 2021 was a very special day for the residents of the Ravines. Monitored by Ottawa Public Health, our first COVID-19 Moderna Vaccines were given to us by teams of uniformed Ottawa Paramedics moving through our buildings door to door in a well planned routine... There had been significant planning by our excellent Managers and every employee worked so efficiently that we were even able to have lunch! Congratulations on a job well done! One month later on March 7th, 2021 we repeated our successful vaccination treatment with our second Moderna vaccines and the teams of Paramedics. In July, 2021 we achieved our goal of 100% of residents and 100% of staff having been vaccinated. We're proud and relieved to have to have achieved this level of safety and health protection. On September 2nd, 2021 we were given booster injections by nurses from the Ottawa Health Department. Our General Manager, Sam Sourchi, and all the staff planned and organized and followed up so that everything went smoothly.

My parents were residents of the Ravines Seniors' Suites and then the Retirement Residence from 2014 to 2021. The staff and management were caring, friendly and helpful. At times when my parents required additional assistance, staff was there to help and then followed-up to make sure that everything was okay. Sam Sourchi, the General Manager, is a skilled and proficient manager, who was able to resolve issues which at times felt impossible to resolve. The facilities are pleasant, clean and safe. This is definitely a nice place to live.

My mom lives here and she loves it.
