Our Perspective

How we see Chartwell Ridgepointe Retirement Residence

Ridgepointe Retirement Residence is another example of Chartwell’s expertise in creating a great atmosphere in a retirement home. Take a tour and you’ll likely be struck by the energy and sense of joy visible. Witness this in the smiling faces of staff and residents, in conversations in the dining area at lunch, and in seniors enjoying each others’ company in lounges and throughout the building

Set in a quiet, secluded neighbourhood of South Kamloops, Ridgepoint offers suitably spectacular views of nearby mountains and the Okanagan Valley. (Suites on upper floors offer sweeping vistas.) It’s also close to parklands and Pineview Trails, while the property’s exterior features a variety of spaces including a patio, courtyard, and lovely gardens. Chartwell communities are renowned for generous amenities, and highlights here include an outdoor golfing green, exercise room, in-house salon, and more.

There’s lots going on in the community on a typical day. There’s a library, fireside lounge, a billiards room, and the spacious L-shaped dining room opening onto the patio. There are also educational programs and live music events on the calendar, along with day trips, and more. We love the cleanliness of the building and its thoroughly contemporary design and decor. That’s just one more aspect of the healthy spirit here.

Suites in Chartwell communities are among the largest we’ve seen in the industry, elegantly decorated, and optimized for comfort. It’s ideally suited for who you are at this stage. You’ll find yourself comfortable with the space.

Staff are often singled out by name in reviews for this community because, to a person, they’re dedicated to creating a great atmosphere. Watch them in action, and it’s obvious that they enjoy what they’re doing. The diligence of staff and the happy community they create with residents adds up to daily contentment for seniors here. When housework, cooking, cleaning, etc. is done by someone else, and people around are all your own age – and happy to be there – it’s liberating. Family members are relieved by the care and lifestyle their loved ones enjoy.
