Nestled in Ottawa’s vibrant Beechwood neighbourhood, Riverpath Retirement Community sits at 80 Landry Street, just steps from a lively stretch of shops, cafés, and everyday services. This welcoming community offers seniors a place where comfort, connection, and quality care come together in a way that genuinely feels like home.
Living Options & Care Levels
One of the most reassuring things about Riverpath is that it can grow with you. Whether you are an active older adult who simply wants the freedom of a maintenance-free lifestyle, or someone who needs more hands-on daily support, there is a care level here that fits where you are right now and where you may be in the future. Independent Living is a wonderful starting point for those who want to enjoy all the social and recreational benefits of community living while still maintaining their independence, with the added comfort of knowing emergency nursing support is close at hand. For residents who need a little more help with day-to-day tasks, Assisted Living provides that additional layer of personal care while still honouring each person’s individuality and dignity. Riverpath also offers a dedicated Memory Care program for residents living with dementia, featuring a secure and thoughtfully designed floor with its own lounge and dining area, staffed around the clock by trained healthcare professionals. For families navigating a transition or recovery period, Respite Care provides short-term stays that offer professional support in a comfortable, home-like environment. Palliative Care is also available for residents and families who need compassionate end-of-life support.
What You’ll Love About Living Here
Life at Riverpath is full of opportunities to connect, explore, and enjoy. The community’s full-time Activities Manager works to keep the calendar rich with both on-site programming and outings into the wider Ottawa area. Residents can catch a film in the on-site movie theatre, browse the library, get creative in arts and crafts sessions, or tend to plants through the gardening program. The spa and hair salon provide a welcome place to relax and feel your best, while the technology centre keeps residents connected with family and the world around them. Social life thrives here too, whether that means gathering with friends in the pub and cocktail lounge, picking up something special from the on-site vendors, or simply stepping outside to enjoy the beautiful gardens and outdoor terrace. Group excursions bring residents to destinations across the city, from shopping trips to theatre outings and scenic tours, all on an accessible bus. Meals are a highlight of daily life, served by attentive staff in an inviting dining room that makes every sitting feel like an occasion. Small pets are also welcome, which means four-legged companions can make this their home too.

And for the residents themselves, this is a place where they can let go of the worries of home maintenance and focus entirely on living well, staying engaged, and enjoying the people around them.
