Rosepark Retirement Community

Rosepark Retirement Community sits along Carling Avenue in the vibrant Westboro neighbourhood of Ottawa, a well-established area known for its walkable streets, local shops, and strong sense of community. This 9-storey brick building offers seniors a comfortable, full-service home where the details of daily life are thoughtfully taken care of, leaving more time for the things that matter most.

Living Options & Care Levels

One of the most reassuring aspects of choosing Rosepark is knowing that care can grow alongside you or your loved one as needs change over time. For those who are active and largely self-sufficient, independent living provides the freedom to enjoy retirement on your own terms, with the added comfort of knowing that emergency nursing support is available around the clock. When a little more day-to-day assistance becomes helpful, assisted living builds on that foundation by adding personalized physical care to support activities of daily living. For residents living with dementia, the dedicated memory care floor offers a safe, structured environment with specialized programming, a private lounge, a dedicated dining room, and a team of healthcare professionals present 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Rosepark also welcomes those who need a shorter-term stay through respite care, making it a trusted option for families navigating transitions or recovery periods. This continuum of care means that residents and families can feel confident in a place that will continue to meet their needs without requiring a difficult move down the road.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Life at Rosepark is shaped by the connections residents make and the moments they share together. A full-time Activities Manager works to keep the calendar full and varied, giving residents something to look forward to every day. Inside the building, there is always something happening, whether that means joining an arts and crafts session, watching a film in the on-site movie theatre, gathering with neighbours in the billiards and games room, or enjoying a quiet afternoon in the library. The technology centre gives residents a way to stay connected with family and explore the internet, while the spa and hair salon offer a relaxing way to feel your best. For those who enjoy staying active, the swimming pool and fitness and wellness centre provide excellent options for movement and well-being. When it comes to dining, chef-prepared meals are served in welcoming dining rooms, with snacks available at any time throughout the day. A private dining room is available for special occasions with family, and a pub and cocktail lounge offers a more relaxed setting for social evenings. Residents can step outside onto the rooftop terrace or stroll through the beautifully maintained gardens when the weather calls for it. Group outings bring residents out into the wider Ottawa community, with transportation provided on an accessible bus for excursions such as theatre shows, sightseeing tours, picnics, and boat trips. On-site vendors and shopping, laundry and dry cleaning services, and parking round out the practical conveniences that make everyday life easier. Small pets are also welcome, which means beloved companions can come along too.
