About The Mount Continuing Care Community
A community built on compassion and continuity of care, The Mount Continuing Care Community has long been a trusted home for seniors in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Located at 141 Mount Edward Road, The Mount offers a full range of care options designed to meet residents wherever they are in their journey, all within a setting that feels less like a facility and more like a place you truly belong.
Living Options & Care Levels
Finding the right level of care for a parent or loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and The Mount is designed to make that process feel less overwhelming. For older adults who are still independent but want the security and community that comes with senior living, the independent living option offers a comfortable, low-stress lifestyle with support close at hand. If your parent is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, the memory care program provides a structured, safe environment with staff who understand how to support residents with cognitive challenges day in and day out. For those who need more hands-on medical attention and daily personal care, long-term care at The Mount means your loved one will have access to skilled nursing and consistent support around the clock. The Mount also offers respite care, which can be a lifeline for family caregivers who need a short break while knowing their loved one is in capable, caring hands. Skilled nursing services are available for residents with more complex medical needs, making it possible for people to receive a higher level of clinical care without leaving the community they have come to call home.
What You’ll Love About Living Here
Day-to-day life at The Mount is shaped by thoughtful amenities that make residents feel cared for and comfortable from morning to night. Meals are a real highlight here. The culinary team prepares nutritious, home-style breakfasts, lunches, and suppers daily, and the dining room has a warmth to it that makes sitting down to eat feel genuinely enjoyable rather than institutional. Snacks are also available at any time, so no one ever has to wait until the next scheduled meal to find something satisfying. Housekeeping and laundry services take the burden of daily chores off residents and their families, freeing up time for more meaningful activities. The fitness and wellness centre gives residents a place to stay active, and through a partnership with an on-site fitness provider, residents can take part in exercise classes at no extra cost. The activity room serves as a hub for creative pursuits, group programs, and social connection, and there is always something on the calendar whether your interest runs toward music, crafts, or something else entirely. Residents who enjoy getting out into the community can take part in organized excursions and outings, while those who prefer to stay closer to home can relax on the outdoor terrace or stroll through the beautifully maintained gardens and grounds. Worship services are offered for both Catholic and Protestant residents, with regular Mass, the Rosary, and a non-denominational service each week, and the public is welcome to attend. For those who want to give back, volunteer opportunities are available within the community. An on-site beauty salon offers hair, nail, and foot care appointments on a weekly basis, adding an extra layer of comfort and normalcy to residents’ routines.
Why Residents Choose The Mount Continuing Care Community
Families and residents choose The Mount for a number of very practical reasons. First and foremost, the breadth of care available under one roof means that as a resident’s needs change over time, they do not have to uproot themselves and move somewhere new. That kind of continuity matters enormously for older adults and for the families who love them. Staff are on-site around the clock, and a 24-hour emergency response system means help is always within reach. The combination of independent living, memory care, long-term care, respite care, and skilled nursing gives The Mount a rare flexibility that few communities can match. Beyond the care itself, the genuine sense of community at The Mount, from organized activities to worship services to volunteer opportunities, gives residents a rich social life and a real sense of belonging. The inclusion of meals, housekeeping, laundry, fitness access, and daily programming means that residents and their families can feel confident that the essentials are covered and that life here is about more than just getting through the day.
