About Chartwell Retirement Residences
Some retirement communities simply provide housing. Chartwell Retirement Residences takes a different approach, building daily life around genuine connection, personal wellbeing, and the belief that joy does not diminish with age. Located at 7070 Derrycrest Drive in Mississauga, Ontario, Chartwell is part of a trusted network of senior living communities that serves more than 25,000 Canadian seniors. Here, the goal is straightforward: help residents live well, feel supported, and stay engaged in a community that truly feels like home.
Living Options & Care Levels
If you are researching options for a parent or loved one, one of the first questions you will face is what level of care is the right fit. Chartwell makes that decision a little easier by offering several care levels under one roof. For seniors who are largely independent but are ready to leave home maintenance behind, Independent Living provides a comfortable, social lifestyle with helpful services available when needed. Assisted Living is a strong choice when your parent needs some support with day-to-day tasks but still values their independence and wants to remain active in a community setting. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, Memory Care offers a structured and compassionate environment where residents receive specialized support from staff who understand the unique challenges of memory loss. If your family is not yet ready for a permanent move, or if a parent needs short-term support following a hospital stay or while a caregiver takes a break, Respite Care offers a temporary option within the same caring environment. Having all of these options available at one location means that if your parent’s needs change over time, the transition to a higher level of care does not have to mean uprooting them entirely.
