About St Charles Manor
Life at St. Charles Manor feels like settling into a neighbourhood you already love. Located at 1006 St Charles Street in Victoria’s Oak Bay area, St. Charles Manor is a senior living community where character-filled surroundings and a genuine sense of belonging come together. Part of the Trillium Communities family, this residence blends the energy of one of Victoria’s most cherished neighbourhoods with a calm, supportive environment built around the people who call it home.
Living Options & Care Levels
St. Charles Manor offers two distinct care levels to meet residents where they are and support them as their needs evolve over time. Independent Living is designed for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but are ready to let go of the demands of home ownership and enjoy a more carefree lifestyle with the comfort of community around them. Residents in this stream maintain their independence while benefiting from the social connections, amenities, and services that come with living in a well-run senior community. Assisted Living at St. Charles Manor is suited to seniors who need a bit more help with daily activities but do not require the level of medical care found in a long-term care facility. This level of support is designed to preserve as much independence as possible while ensuring residents have access to personal assistance when they need it. Together, these two options make St. Charles Manor a practical and welcoming choice for seniors at different stages of the aging journey.
