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.

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.
