When Nav helped move her aunt to Chartwell Renaissance Retirement Residence in September 2022, she wasn’t quite sure how she would settle in — yet within weeks, her concerns proved unfounded.
“The amazing staff at Chartwell Renaissance have made the transition for my aunt Svenja to her new home quite an enjoyable experience,” she tells. “The community is clean and very inviting. The staff are very compassionate towards all of the residents. After a week, my aunt Svenja says that is already feels like home.”
As society gradually shifts back to pre-pandemic norms, older adults who have delayed a decision to downsize or seek a living arrangement that provides more freedom from the responsibilities of home ownership have begun to consider their options again.
There is no denying that for many, the prospect of less time and energy spent on home and property maintenance and more opportunities to socialize, pursue interests, or try something new have endured, if not increased because of the past two years.
A key benefit of life in a retirement residence is having consistent access to staff who are devoted to helping seniors live worry-free. “The staff are friendly, welcoming and incredibly patient,” says John, resident since 2019. “The servers bring us comfort, warmth, humour and the occasional hug.”
“The recreational manager has been a great help to my grandfather’s exercise and physical conditioning. Nothing but the best,” agrees Colton.
Chartwell Renaissance is an elegant, established retirement community in Langley offering an intimate atmosphere and independent lifestyle. The retirement residence is centrally located nearby many convenient amenities — some within walking distance — like grocery stores, retailers, pharmacies, medical offices, restaurants, coffee shops and Willowbrook Mall.
“I’ve been here with Chartwell for three amazing years. They have so much ground space and a great atmosphere,” Steven says. “I often see many people walking around and enjoying the sun. Most Wednesdays it’s concert time in the back courtyard. Big mall and quick eats are a ten-minute walk or three-minute drive away.”
A variety of valuable independent living services are offered at Chartwell Renaissance, including delicious and nutritious meals, housekeeping, recreational and social experiences, mini-bus transportation and emergency response. Additionally, care services can be coordinated through a third-party homecare provider onsite.
“I can’t think of anywhere else I would rather be than at Chartwell Renaissance. Sometimes I feel I should have come here years ago,” John concludes. “I have felt so cherished and spoiled here. This is now my home.”
