Chartwell Fountains of Mission

My mother has thrived since moving to the Fountains of Mission Retirement Residence 8 years ago. She is very active and happy and for that, we are so grateful. Thank you to the staff at Fountains of Mission, all of whom are so friendly and caring towards the residents and their families.

The Chartwell Fountains of Mission in Calgary is a first-rate establishment! I am so glad that my Mom moved there a year ago. And particularly during this pandemic, it has been very comforting to know that my Mom is so well cared for with respect to her safety. She is really enjoying living there and only has good things to say. Thank you to the staff and management for the great work they are doing!

I am always looking forward to going to the Fountains of Mission location as I serve their community as their mobile Dental Hygienist. I have been working in this residence for a number of years and have had the pleasure to meet so many residents! They are well supported by a cheerful and upbeat staff that ALWAYS has something nice to say and a smile to greet me on the days that I am there. I often ask the residents what's for lunch and dinner that day and they always rave about the food! In addition, there are lots of fun things on the activity board to take advantage of with Lisa running the schedule. Nancy is the GM there and she is truly invested in these residents and their experience living in this community at the Fountains. The location is fantastic with a number of medical/dental offices and amenities nearby (I should know as I used to live in Mission!) The Fountains of Mission is just a good place to visit as a care provider and as far as I can tell, a great place to live too! I work at a number of seniors' residences in Calgary as a mobile dental provider so I have a good sense of the merits of this particular location, and it stands out as a special gem in Calgary.

Our mother lived at Fountains of Mission from March 2017 to May 2021, until she had to move to a long-term care facility. She loved her time at Fountains. All of the staff took such excellent care of her and were always so kind and helpful to my family and me. They were also always very responsive to any queries we had. The overall quality of accommodations, dining room, common areas, etc. is quite high. You always felt you were in a higher end condo with very attentive service. My family and I can't thank you enough, Fountains staff, for taking such excellent care of our mother!

Wow!, where to start.I have moved my mom into the residence at the beginning of this year and already I see so many positives with my moms movement, the friends she has made and her happiness. I thank the staff that treat her like an equal and a person. The smile on my moms face is all I need to know that I have found the perfect place for her.Thank you Chartwell.

I made the choice to move into The Fountains of Mission during the summer of 2012. I chose it because of all the terrific walking opportunities with the river being on three sides of us. 4th street is very close and has everything I would want or need. I have been and still am an active member of our valuable Resident Council and a proud Ambassador to guide our new Residents through everyday life at The Fountains. We have a variety of excellent entertainment and abundant exercise opportunities. I am very well fed with enjoyable delicious food and my beautiful suite is where I call home. I like that I live independently but any assistance I may need is at my fingertips. Lovely location, great food, companionship and beautiful surroundings. Who needs more??

I've been visiting a long time friend at Fountains of Mission for about 10 years and as a designated visitor for her during the pandemic. I'm impressed with the quality of care, respect, kindness and genuine caring that the staff exhibits over the years. Many of the same staff I continue to see ten years later, which speaks volumes in itself. At the request of my friend and her husband, my being with them during the mornings Monday to Friday, while he was on Palliative Care, not only affirmed my observations but served to increase my admiration and trust in Chartwell as a home for Independent Retirement Living as well as those who need some extra assistance. I've enjoyed meals which are tasty and nutritious, whether an invitation to lunch, brunch or Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration. I marvel at the success of Chartwell Corporate but, in particular, Fountains of Mission in their unrelenting diligence, dedication and perseverance in following the protocols of the COVID-19 and variants to NOT have one resident contract the disease!!! That is an amazing feat ... AS a designated visitor, I appreciate the regular updates which the GM sends pertaining to the pandemic and any protocol changes within the residence along with words of wisdom, encouragement and insights. I'm grateful for my experience and express my best wishes for continued success in all your endeavours. My friend only has good things to say, of her feeling at home" in Fountains along with gratitude and appreciation for the people who live and work here."

I would like to share the greatness and kindness that the staff of Fountains of Mission has provided for my dad. My father became a widower at 94 and had been living at home still. After the dead of my mother he became lonely and depressed, yet he was not ready to move into a home. Fountains of Mission allowed him to try a short stay at the home which allowed my dad to experience the environment. He approved but was still reluctant to do the permanent move. He realized he could not be at home by himself and decided to move into the home. He has been there for 4 months now and has become a healthier man again. He is no longer depressed and is happy with the help and guidance he gets from the staff . He is happy with the food that is served. He has a social environment that he enjoys and the surrounding area is beautiful. He is happy he made the move he says. Thank you Fountain of Mission

I recently had the opportunity to tour this property and attend a networking event they hosted. Both were wonderful. The team here is highly focused on delivering exceptional experiences and their dedication to that is evident. Everyone is greeted with warmth and treated like family. Beyond the warm and welcoming experience from every member of the team, the spaces within the property are incredible. I loved everything about it. If you are exploring retirement living for yourself or a loved one, I would highly recommend you consider Fountains of Mission.

Moving is stressful at any time, but in the midst of COVID-19, even more so. The staff at Fountains of Mission were — and continue to be — accommodating, patient and kind, making the move for our family, in challenging times, work.We’ve found both the residents and staff warm and friendly creating a welcoming atmosphere. The activities are interesting and relevant. The location, perfect for neighbourhood walks and convenient to many amenities within walking distance.Fountains truly is a lovely place to call home.
