Our Perspective

stories

Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place is the kind of place we dream of retiring to when we get to that age. Overlooking the Mississippi River, in this peaceful village, near pleasant shops, it feels like an oasis from the busy 417 and the rest of Region. And still, it’s just a half hour away from the city centre and all that makes Ottawa interesting. To us, that’s just the start of a list of good reasons you’d want to call this home.

It’s apparent that the entire community is planned around the enjoyment of life. For starters, just look at the list of amenities (including an indoor pool, a spacious movie theatre, chef-prepared meals daily, and a longer list). Life here is full, including regular onsite lectures, fitness classes, and many trips outside the community to take in local sporting events, museums and galleries.

Those factors and others work together to create a vibrant community of independent seniors, along with staff who visibly demonstrate enjoyment of their work and enthusiasm for helping those in their care. Loyalty and integrity is further apparent in the fact that there are both team members and residents who have been here for five years or longer. This is ideally affordable for area seniors who love all the best in life and who have family on the west end of Ottawa Region.

Reviews of Waterside - A VIVA Retirement Community

Nancy Dodsworth, family member
"Recently, my mom and dad made Waterside their new home, and they have settled in quickly, making new friends, enjoying the events and facilities, and the meals. They chose Waterside (above other homes) because they were made to feel welcome right from their first visit, and the bright openness of the rooms was an attraction for them. Trigger and her team made their move easy and stress-free, and the staff team has been terrific in taking care of their needs. I am happy to see them so comfortable..."

Duncan Campbell-Sinclair, resident
"Waterside has the best of everything. Medical staff on duty, great food. [There are] many events if you’re active, both within Waterside and also by bus. [There’s] your own garden plot, a saltwater pool, movies, entertainment, also a bar. Who could ask for more?"

Jayne O., family member
"Moving a loved one into a retirement community is not easy, it's a big change for everyone and a stressful decision. I will always be grateful to Heather Luneburg for taking the time to clearly communicate the benefits of Waterside and for her diligent follow-up and help with planning. She is not only kind and patient but clearly an expert on all aspects of senior living. I learned a lot and feel better prepared for this next stage of my family's life. She is the ideal ambassador for this beauti..."
