CHARTWELL STONEHAVEN RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Chartwell Stonehaven offers a fulfilling, rich life. Chartwell’s reputation as an industry leader is based on everything you’ll find here, including completely contemporary design and décor both internally and externally, all the amenities you can want, and a caring community made up of both staff and residents. And still, there are distinctly excellent aspects of Chartwell Stonehaven.

THE REDWOODS RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

A superbly well-appointed Ottawa retirement home located close to the 417 in West Ottawa. This is a lovely high-rise seniors' tower (17 floors) with great views from its balconies, and a variety of suite styles to select from. The Redwoods still feels very new and clean throughout. There are staff members who have been here since it opened. People love the flexibility of living independently in your own apartment, as in any tower, combined with the option of sharing in dining or hiring care as needed.

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.

THE REDWOODS RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

My Mother went into the Redwoods for a three-week trial stay and never went back to her condo. She absolutely loved it and this was someone who was dead set against “an old folks home." She loved the activities offered and still hasn’t managed to try them all after a month. The food is delicious there are always options to choose from. Her suite is newly renovated and very spacious and homey. She has a lovely balcony which she enjoys daily. The staff are excellent, so professional and caring. They went above and beyond to ensure my mother was happy and made many accommodations to suit her needs. April Johnstone is a treasure. She welcomed my mother and went out of her way to make her feel at home. Any requests or concerns we had were answered promptly and dealt with efficiently by April, even on her own time. I feel very fortunate that we were able to get an apartment (and it is a full one-bedroom with a full kitchen) at The Redwoods.

My wife had a complete knee replacement surgery and for convalescence, we spent 2 weeks at the very good Redwoods. The care which she received was excellent as were the meals which were provided. The staff is very well trained and are friendly and thoughtful and certainly surpassed our expectations. We were extremely impressed with the entire Redwoods organization. My wife will be having her other knee done within the next few months and we will be doing this again. Our stay at the Redwoods was a very comfortable and carefree 2 weeks.

I have been so impressed with just about everything. To a person the staff have been pleasant patient, kind and helpful during this convalescent period. The environment has been blissfully quiet, the bed comfortable, the food good, and quantities generous. I chose the Redwoods on the recommendation of friends. A very good decision.

My family recently moved my elderly parents from their home to an apartment and now finally to The Redwoods. We/they wanted to get used to apartment living and the downsizing that goes with it. We went to several retirement buildings and were most comfortable choosing The Redwoods. More importantly... my parents were most comfortable with this decision. The staff is very approachable and helpful. With a wide range of services that you can sign up for if needed. These services can be revisited at any time as the situation changes.

Redwoods offers residents a full range of services, with a helpful caring staff, and a secure building. There's a wide range of activities to choose from. The building is located close to residential neighborhoods with bus stops and various retailers within walking distance. And is pet friendly.
