Chartwell Stonehaven Retirement Residence

Stonehaven Manor is a truly wonderful retirement residence. My mother-in-law has lived there for the last 2 years and she is very happy there. The accommodations are excellent, the staff is very professional and helpful, the grounds are lovely and the food is great. We've had several occasions to celebrate milestone events with my mother-in-law in the residence dining room, and the staff have gone out of their way to make it a memorable occasion for all of us. The residence also has an outreach program that gets them involved in community activities, and my curling club has benefitted from this when they sponsored several of our special events.

My mother has been a resident at Stonehaven for over three years now. Our family is very grateful to the warm and caring staff for tending to her specific needs. They truly give their hearts to all the residents and their families, making it an amazing place. The staff works hard to fill the days with fun, interesting activities, healthy services (food, exercise) and physical and emotional support. Dedicated people, from the maintenance and dining staff, all the way to the PSWs and management, make this an exceptional place to live. The facility is clean, well-kept and presents a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Stonehaven to families that are looking for a place for their loved ones to live!

Stonehaven was our Mum’s home for over 3 years and during that time we were always very satisfied with all aspects of the residence. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, very attentive to individual needs and Mum always complimented the food. Before the pandemic our Mum enjoyed the social activities and especially the frequent outings and shopping trips. During the pandemic, Stonehaven did everything “by the book” with an extra dose of caution, and thankfully remained COIVD-free. As restrictions lifted our Mum again enjoyed walking the well-kept grounds and the neighbourhood, including the beautiful forest across the street. Recommending Stonehaven comes without reservation — until her needs recently changed, Stonehaven was ideal.

My mother decided to move to Kanata from Montreal after my father died in 2022. When she arrived she had a sudden health crisis and I had to quickly find a residence for her. We had visited Stonehaven before and I went in to see if they had room. From the second I walked in the help I received was overwhelming. We were able to arrange for her to move in a week later and get the care she needed to recover, and for me to be able to keep going.Mom has been there for 6 months now and is adjusting well, she also has access to a doctor - no small thing in 2023. She has new friends and enjoys the woods in the area and is looking forward to using the courtyard in better weather. All of the staff are outstanding. I cannot thank them enough, they made a tough time so much easier.

We found Chartwell Stonehaven Retirement Residence after my father was suddenly hospitalized and unable to return home in the fall of 2020. The facility itself has a warm atmosphere, is well maintained and the staff professional and caring. We especially appreciated the kindness of Matt and the many staff who cared for my father during this difficult time. And though Covid added enormous stress to an already very difficult situation, we were comforted knowing that strict precautions were in place while still ensuring that he was able to feel the love of family. The staff is made up of so many kind people - the nurses, PSWs, kitchen, housekeeping, reception, recreation, management, and medical staff, as well as many others - went above and beyond to make my father feel comfortable and cared for. On behalf of our family, we would like to thank each of them for their care of my father during the last few weeks of his life. J.Carvalho/K.Brisebois

We cannot say enough good things about Stonehaven. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the residents are healthy and happy. There are always multiple activities that take place daily for the enjoyment of the residents and they are encouraged to have their family join in the fun. The attention and care given by all the staff show that they truly care about the residents who live there. We are always welcomed by the staff when we visit and our family members' needs are always met with attention and love and respect. We would highly recommend Stonehaven to anyone who is looking for a retirement home, the staff and the home itself are amazing!

Having lived in our family home in Kanata for 50 years my wife died and our children and grandchildren had all moved to their own homes I was left in our house alone . This was not a pleasant way of life ! On the advice of a home-visiting nurse who had treated my wife I moved to Stonehaven Retirement Residence . This made a vast improvement to my life ! I was warmly welcomed by the staff and by a few friends who were already living there . Many of the staff had been there for years and were adept at handling the problems of elderly residents . The food was good , plentiful with a vast variety of options always available . The variety of accommodation was impressive , all units had ample closet space and good private bathrooms . Plenty of activities to suit most tastes were always available, with professional entertainers coming frequently (except during the virus period) . A qualified nurse and a nursing assistant are on duty 24 hours a day and each day of the year. A bus is permanently present to take residents to many attractions, picnics, shopping areas and other facilities. There is an enclosed open-air area in the center of the residence where we can sit peacefully in a pleasant garden . During the whole Covid virus period of disruptions no Stonehaven resident caught the virus or any of its variations - the staff kept us well protected ! ! ! They should be proud and congratulated for this achievement . I am completely satisfied that I moved from living alone to this residence . Thank you STONEHAVEN family ! ! ! .

We helped my mother and father-in-law relocate to Chartwell Stonehaven in the middle of Covid. Even though logistics were difficult due to covid, the staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. The facility is bright, clean and spacious. Staff are helpful and kind. I would recommend this home for anyone searching for a senior's residence.

My mother is very happy at Stonehaven, even during these covid times. She loves that her 1-bedroom apartment looks out over a lovely wooded area where she can keep a keen eye out for songbirds from her balcony. She is so complementary of the very friendly and welcoming staff who work so hard to organize activities where social distancing is maintained and fun is not sacrificed. The hallway exercise classes have been very welcomed - just the right level for whoever attends. My mother made the decision to move to Stonehaven after staying there for a short time for respite from surgery, pre-covid. The courtyard garden proved a wonderfully restful and pretty place to sit, read or visit. And now, she enjoys a daily walk on the premises around the building passing by the woods and the quiet surroundings. She has opted to cook for herself most days, but on occasion she very much enjoys the dining room and finds the meals tasty and healthy. Stonehaven is independent living but with many options for being social - a great home for my mother.
