The Bradley Retirement Living

At The Bradley Retirement Living, the belief is simple: retirement should feel like the beginning of something wonderful. Located at 130 Goulbourn Forced Road in Kanata, Ontario, this pet-friendly community is designed for active seniors who are ready to leave behind the demands of home ownership and step into a lifestyle filled with comfort, connection, and everyday enjoyment.

Living Options & Care Levels

If you are exploring options for a parent or loved one who is still active and independent but would benefit from a supportive, maintenance-free environment, The Bradley offers Independent Living as its core offering. This type of retirement living is ideal for seniors who do not require hands-on personal or medical care but would thrive with the convenience of chef-prepared meals, organized activities, housekeeping, and a strong social community all in one place. For families, this often means peace of mind knowing your parent is in a safe, well-staffed environment where they are engaged, well-fed, and surrounded by people who genuinely look out for one another. Independent living at The Bradley is about giving seniors the freedom to enjoy their days on their own terms, with support and services always available in the background.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

The Bradley has been thoughtfully designed to give residents access to everything they need for a full and enjoyable daily life. The common areas are comfortable and welcoming, and the dining room offers a true restaurant-style experience complete with chef-prepared meals served three times a day and healthy snacks available at any hour. For those who like to stay active, there is a dedicated fitness and wellness centre along with regular fitness classes and wellness programs. Movie lovers will appreciate the on-site movie theatre, while hobbyists will find a woodworking shop, arts and crafts studio, and a billiards and games room to keep their interests alive. The outdoor terrace, patio, and beautifully maintained gardens and grounds offer residents a lovely place to spend time in the fresh air. A technology centre with computers keeps residents connected with family, and a range of social programming including card games, bingo, bridge club, book chats, guest speakers, live entertainment, cultural celebrations, and an artful enrichment program ensures there is always something to look forward to.
