Our Perspective
How we see Chartwell New Edinburgh Square Retirement Residence
Chartwell New Edinburgh Square is a classy, upscale, well-organized retirement residence in the heart of Beechwood Village, with shops and services part of the community. The vibrancy just outside the door is matched inside, where there’s an extensive list of amenities. There’s an emphasis on space throughout, and seniors who move here will truly find room to grow.
Walk through the building on a tour, and you’ll be struck by the cleanliness and thoroughly modern design. Main floor amenities are varied, with our personal favourite being the library, comfortably laid out and replete with a varied collection of books. It’s right next to the games room with billiards, and the movie theatre. People are genuinely enjoying each others’ company here, as also seen in the lounge. The outdoor patio is one more friendly meeting space.
The dining room in this retirement home is exceptionally spacious. The fare is excellent, with many different options on the menu. Throughout the day, the bistro is open, very modern in its decor—yet another friendly meeting space. Suites are bright, with decor in neutral colours, very modern in their design, including stone facing. Washrooms are optimally accessible. Upper floor suites give a panoramic overview of the local cityscape.
For all of the beauty of the building, both family members and seniors single out the staff for the most praise here. To a person, they’re diligent and vigilant in protecting seniors’ care, safety and comfort. In the COVID crisis, New Edinburgh Square remained virus-free, a shining testament to staff. Staff help people feel fulfilled, active, and energized. The welcoming atmosphere in a vibrant area of the city gives families peace of mind, and they’ll want to visit loved ones often.
