Our Perspective

How we see Chartwell Riverstone Retirement Community

Riverstone retiree apartments are the right move for progressive-minded older London-area residents. Leave behind the unnecessary complications of home ownership and find a setting that's suited to you. It's prodigiously contemporary, remarkably convenience-oriented, and delightfully green. The visionary environment has created a thriving community of seniors.

In these beautiful apartments, you’ll be surrounded by people your age. Suites are spacious, safe, brightly lit, designed for accessibility, and featuring ultra-modern construction that anticipates your needs. There's no need to think about upgrades. Everything is included.

The building is also strikingly modern, featuring a main floor fitness area. Situated in West 5, the surrounding master-planned community is ideally inviting for all family members. This integrated community offers easy access to shopping and everything you need, in a senior-friendly village with villas and a retirement residence. It’s also a move into a more green-oriented lifestyle with solar panels providing power, electric vehicle chargers on site, and suites with Energy Star-rated appliances and LED lighting. It's all set in the suitably verdant Riverbank Park area, with landscaped walking trails.

Community’s Perspective

How Chartwell Riverstone Retirement Community sees itself

Who are you as a community?

Riverstone supports your independent lifestyle, with a little extra care when you need it. With best-in-class amenities, delicious dining, and plenty of social activities, you’ll spend your time doing the things you enjoy most. Nestled in a vibrant and walkable community, Riverstone offers retiree apartments, one-floor villas and brand new retirement suites are now leasing. Register on our website to learn more.

Highlights:

  • On-site Daily Concierge Services
  • Leisure Activities, Events, and Social Clubs
  • Free WiFi in Common Areas
  • Fitness Studio
  • Social and Games Lounges
  • Exclusive access to Riverstone’s own rooftop Skylight Restaurant and licensed On the Rocks social lounge
  • 16 complimentary meals per suite per month (10 dinner, 6 lunch) at the Skylight Restaurant
  • Roof top garden lounge and patio
  • Guest Suite
  • Biweekly housekeeping services

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

What sets us apart is the variety of living options—from retiree apartments to one-floor villas and new retirement suites—all within a vibrant, walkable community. With concierge services, engaging social opportunities, and standout amenities like our rooftop Skylight Restaurant and On the Rocks lounge, daily life here feels both easy and elevated.

What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?

We make it easy to feel at home from the start. Our team helps you settle, introduces you to amenities and dining, and connects you with social activities and clubs. With concierge services, welcoming common spaces, and a naturally social atmosphere, new residents quickly find a rhythm, often faster than they imagined. Whether you prefer to jump right in or take things at your own pace, there’s always support along the way.

How are residents supported if their needs change?

Riverstone is designed for independent living, with the flexibility to bring in additional support if you need it. In that case, you can continue enjoying your home, your routines, and your community, while adapting services as needed.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?

Riverstone may not be right for anyone looking for a traditional retirement residence with built-in clinical care or daily assistance. (We have other communities in London that could help you with that.) Our community is designed for independent adults who want convenience, connection, and an active lifestyle. If you’re seeking a more structured or care-focused environment, another type of residence may be a better match.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

Many people are surprised by how much is included and how easy life feels here. From complimentary meals at the Skylight Restaurant to biweekly housekeeping and access to beautifully designed social spaces, convenience and relaxed comfort stand out for our residents. Add in the rooftop patio, fitness studio, and lively lounges, and it quickly becomes clear this is a place designed from the ground up for their enjoyment.

How will your community change in the next five years?

Riverstone will continue to grow and evolve as a dynamic and connected community. As new residences and amenities come online, there’ll be more opportunities for social time, convenience, and lifestyle enhancement. At the same time, we’ll stay focused on what matters most to our residents: offering a welcoming environment where they can live independently and enjoy each day.

1. We offer retiree apartments, one-floor villas, and new retirement suites.
2. Residents enjoy access to the rooftop Skylight Restaurant and On the Rocks lounge.
3. Each suite includes 16 complimentary meals per month.
