Chartwell Renaissance Retirement Residence

I originally visited the Chartwell Renaissance Retirement Residence over a year ago to see if this was the place for me when the timing was right. Well I am extremely happy to say the timing was right and I moved into my new home December 1, 2020. I love everything about the Renaissance, the other residents, the staff, and the managers. I was home, this was a decision that I made and chose to move here into independent living so that I would never have to be a burden on my family. Being that I only recently retired I am still young enough to make my own decisions but also donate my time to my fellow residents. I enjoy all the activities that are available to the residents even in Covid style. I volunteer or help out wherever I may be needed. I love the fact that I do not have to make meals for one and I have company and community around whenever needed, but I also have my beautiful suite to enjoy when I need my space. The managers are all very courteous, patient, and willing to go the extra mile. The front reception staff, the dining room staff and the housekeeping staff are willing to go the extra mile to be friendly, kind, and helpful. I have been blessed to find such a beautiful home. My only sadness is that I can hardly wait for the day that they unlock the grad piano and have a pianist make some beautiful music. We are lucky to have a resident that plays a keyboard and another resident that sings like and angel. I hope whoever reads this review will know that this my be a future home for you too. Thank you Chartwell for making me feel special everyday. God Bless

My wife and I have lived here for two years and we absolutely love it! We have made countless friends and have been cared for so well. We visited several homes before we made our decision and the staff really changed our minds. They are so welcoming and accommodating. There are great activities to do and we really love being able to access the fitness room whenever we wish! It is a pleasant place to be. Would highly recommend this residence to anyone.

Excellent Facility! Great staff! One of my dream retirement home! GM, Danielle is so Welcoming and easy to talk to. Pam, Fazinah, Sharon you guys Rock!

Chartwell Renaissance has been an extremely safe place for my parents during the pandemic. Their thorough health and safety protocols ensured that there was only one short (approximately three days) period when residents had to remain in their suites. Routines such as eating times and seating were adapted to keep connections among residents while still following the provincial health orders. The staff came up with some thoughtful and innovative ways for residents to remain connected to their families and as restrictions eased, activities were reinstated so that residents could reconnect as a larger group.

Chartwell Renaissance is one of the most friendly and welcoming home to residents, family and guests. The staff is outstanding and very courteous. Residents are constantly raving about how good their meals are and how well they are treated. There is always something to keep them busy. Bingo, bus trips, etc. Rest assured your loved one will be well taken care of. It's home away from home!

I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be than at Chartwell Renaissance. Sometimes I feel I should have come here years ago. The staff, the meals and the general ambiance couldn't be better. The first time I walked through the front door into that spacious welcoming lobby I knew this was the place for me. The past three years have confirmed this first impression. The serving staff are friendly, welcoming and incredibly patient. For many of us, the servers are the only contact we have with the outside world; they bring us comfort, warmth, humour and the occasional hug. I don't think these lovely ladies know how valuable they are. The menus are varied, creative and nourishing with options to suit everyone's taste. It is no easy thing catering to 150 people. My two bedroom suite is a lot smaller than my house, but I find it is more than adequate for my needs.We don't even have to do the cleaning because someone does it for us. The courtyard is usually full of flowers in season and provides a secluded area for gossip, recreation and simply walking. There is always something going on, from Bingo! to musical entertainments and outings to popular places around Surrey and Langley. There is one monthly fee, so no more worries about home maintenance, hydro and hearing bills. I have never felt so cherished and spoiled as here at the Chartwell Renaissance. This is now my home.!

Having just retired from the Renaissance located at 6676 - 203rd Street in Langley, I wanted to provide a brief review. From the warm and friendly staff that greets you upon entry to the grand staircase that leads you to the rest of the building and its Elizabethan theme, it was a real pleasure to work in such a pleasant environment. I also enjoyed meeting and getting to know all the residence at the Renaissance. Lastly I'd like to point out that the kitchen at the Renaissance is the cleanest kitchen I've ever seen. It's decked out with wall to wall stainless steel which gets a deep cleaning from floor to ceiling every day. The Renaissance is an independent seniors residence that I would recommend to any of my family.

We helped move our aunt into Chartwell Renaissance last year and the experience ever since has been five-star. The environment itself has the feeling of being on a cruise ship. Greeted warmly at the door every time, food is wonderful and having amazing staff 24 hours a day brings us peace of mind. The community feel is consistently positive and the daily activities and monthly outings are an extra bonus to keep busy day-to-day. The one bedroom with balcony is cozy and clean. The transition for my aunt downsizing has been an easy and enjoyable experience.
