Not a place you want to work

Great place for your love one to live. They provide great care and are resident focused.

Not organized. My father received care through this service three times a week for one hour each. He is supposed to have a walk or exercise as well as shower and shave. I get calls last minute cancellation at times there has been no coverage for a full week. The lack of care and compassion the head office has is astounding. Thank goodness my father has me but I think about all the other people that are alone and have no one to help them and they just get canceled on last minute.. would not recommend.

Friendly staff and atmosphere, we heard nothing but great things about the change with food and the way feels when you walk in the door. Made my aunt very happy to transition from living at home to living in a small community.

I am quite familiar with most retirement residences in Ottawa and Bridlewood Trails is the best retirement residence by far. They have a very different philosophy of truly respecting every resident's individuality and cater to their needs and desires. They stand out with their transparency and open communication. All of the staff are highly trained and have the vocation to care for the residents which makes Bridlewood Trails feel like home. My father-in-law loved it there until his passing last month. My husband and I visited often and are still welcome there to visit everyone.

I would recommend a stay at Chartwell Kanata to fiends or family. My story I am a 70 year old male, who experienced a non-weight bearing break in my ankle in the fall of 2016. I need a place to stay will I recovered. Chartwell Kanata had a respite space available. I made the decision out of need to spend 47 days at the Chartwell home. In reflection of my stay, I enjoyed the friendly, helpful staff during my recovery. The other residents were very excepting and willing to include a “newbie” like me in all their daily actives. During my stay at Chartwell Kanata, I have gained a better understanding of the retirement home atmosphere and social dynamics. This experience will allow me to make an informed decision in the future, as I age and my living needs change.

Working at Chartwell Empress for a couple of years now. I never worked at such a nice place before. Although being an employee I also managed to get some very good friends there either as co-workers and even residents! Management is awesome and won't hesitate one minute to dirty their hands for any type of jobs. Me and my colleagues always make sure that the residents are always happy and at their best. Highly recommend Chartwell Empress Kanata to either work or to become one of our precious family.

Home like atmosphere, fantastic location with loads of activities. Excellent Care and Compassion from Staff. Highly recommend this Retirement Residence.

I have been here for 6 months, at first I was scared to move into a retirement home but Robertson House truly feels like home. I have never been happier! The menu choices and the a la carte menu are so delicious. I love how the staff is so accommodating and that everyone here so very caring. The activities her bring me much happiness, I always look forward to the bus outings and my morning walks. Robertson House as an independent senior makes feel safe and happy while meeting all my needs.

My father-in-law was there for several years, until he passed in 2014, and had excellent care. The facility was very clean, staff was friendly and very accommodating. Good meals and plenty of snacks and drinks, second and third helpings if the gentlemen wanted it. Lots of entertainment. Have experienced other relatives in long-term care and have to rate this home as the best I have seen to date.

Beautiful retirement home! The renovations are stunning and the staff is very friendly and professional.

Beautiful place, kind staff
