About Timberwalk Retirement Community
Nestled in the heart of Kanata, Ontario, Timberwalk Retirement Community sits in one of the Ottawa area’s most connected and lively neighbourhoods, with shops, restaurants, parks, and entertainment all close at hand. At 1250 Maritime Way, this welcoming retirement community offers residents a comfortable, fulfilling lifestyle supported by exceptional amenities, a caring team, and a genuine sense of belonging that makes it easy to call home.
Living Options & Care Levels
One of the most reassuring aspects of choosing Timberwalk is knowing that as your needs or the needs of a loved one evolve over time, the right level of support is already in place. For those who are active and self-sufficient but want the comfort of knowing help is nearby, Independent Living offers a fulfilling lifestyle with access to emergency nursing services whenever they are needed. As daily tasks become more challenging, Assisted Living builds on that foundation by adding personalized, hands-on support with activities of daily living, so residents can continue to live with dignity and confidence. For those living with dementia or other memory-related conditions, the Memory Care program provides a secure, purpose-designed environment staffed around the clock by trained healthcare professionals. Dedicated programming, a private lounge, and a separate dining room ensure that residents in memory care receive the focused, compassionate attention they deserve. Timberwalk also offers Respite Care, giving families a trusted, temporary solution when a caregiver needs a break or a senior requires short-term support during a transition or recovery period. This continuum of care means that residents and their families can plan for the future with confidence, knowing that Timberwalk can continue to meet their needs without requiring a stressful move.
What You'll Love About Living Here
Life at Timberwalk is shaped by the many ways residents come together to enjoy their days.

Live entertainment brings energy and joy to shared spaces, while the beautiful gardens and grounds offer a peaceful retreat for those who love fresh air and nature. The chef-prepared meals served in welcoming dining rooms give every day a sense of occasion, with nourishing, thoughtfully prepared food that residents genuinely look forward to. For those who want to stay active, the swimming pool is a wonderful way to maintain fitness and socialize at the same time. Beyond the walls of the community, organized excursions and outings take residents to local theatres, grocery stores, sightseeing destinations, and more, all via an accessible bus.

Why Residents Choose Timberwalk Retirement Community
Families and residents choose Timberwalk not just for its amenities or location, but for the way it feels from the very first visit. There is something deeply reassuring about a community where staff truly get to know the people in their care, where residents feel seen and valued rather than simply looked after. For adult children who have been carrying the weight of concern for an aging parent, finding a place like Timberwalk brings a real sense of relief. Knowing that a loved one has access to the right level of care, a full social life, nutritious meals, and a safe, comfortable home allows families to shift from worry to peace of mind. For residents themselves, the appeal is the freedom to live life on their own terms, with support available whenever it is needed and a community of neighbours who become genuine friends. It is the kind of place where people arrive as newcomers and quickly feel at home.
