How we see The Sumach by Chartwell

The Sumach by Chartwell is a spectacular, still-very-new retirement destination close to the heart of Toronto. It’s an ideal place for people who love to be where the fun and excitement is. That can be found both inside the community—really all you need—and in the nearby area, where there’s all the best that Toronto has to offer.

Popular communal spaces within the community include a bistro, bar, billiards room, reading room, and lounges where you can hang out and chat with friends. The fitness studio/wellness centre is popular with residents. Highlights of the activities list include dancing, Zumba, games nights, and special events. The ninth floor walkout terrace is a fun way to get an overview of the local area. Contemporary design and construction means that everything’s spacious, with lots of natural light flooding the building. Both the building and its landscaping are a delight.

Across from Regent Park running track and the hockey rink, the area itself is an added feature. It’s an easy 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants on Dundas Street, while some residents venture to St. Lawrence Market or Distillery District, or to Cherry Beach or Sugar Beach and the lakefront. Active seniors who love the outdoors love the easy access to the Don Valley Trail.

Suites here are notably spacious, sunlit, and ultra-modern, with some wonderful views of the city and its skyline. Living here is immensely pleasurable. Staff here is credited with kindness, consideration, compassion, and helpfulness. They’re genuinely accommodating to residents’ needs, making sure seniors always feel secure, comfortable, and appreciated. Staff have gelled together since this community opened in 2019.

"I was looking for a residence for my Father 88 years old. Sumach was an ideal for my father. We spoke with Mike Tisiot at Sumach who was awesome, professional and caring. The entire process of meeting with us via video (we live in the USA) and then meeting with us in-person and responding to my numerous emails in detail and swiftly is commendable. As one knows moving an elderly father from his house to a new residence is stressful for the entire family and Mike made the process very smooth for u..."

"I recently moved both of my parents into The Sumach by Chartwell. They love their new retirement residence and all of the activities that they offer.

Accreditation & Associations

One of the most valued aspects of life at The Sumach is our location in the newly revitalized and redeveloped Regent Park neighbourhood. The recent revitalization of the area has restored a diversity of architecture that matches surrounding neighbourhoods and reconnected Regent Park to Toronto’s grid of streets. It also included the creation of new commercial spaces and community facilities that have provided a venue for the neighbourhood’s thriving arts and culture scene. As such, we benefit from being in the midst of a dynamic urban environment where everything—including shopping, dining, culture, recreation and transportation—is only steps away.

The Sumach by Chartwell is located at 146 Sumach Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 0P7.
