At first I was so impressed with how friendly every one was and that the staff all knew my name. I remember during dinner time how much I enjoyed having company as I used to live and eat alone, before moving to CHARTWELL COLONEL BELCHER. I love gardening and was very fortunate To get the last available raised bed. I soon realized I would never be bored or lonely as I am with All the other residents with whom we share ideas and experiences. I joined in various activities, Entertainment and outings. I do like the food especially having the alternatives available. I know I got the best suite overlooking the gardens. The staff all appeared to enjoy their work. Due to the good leadership of the management led By Christine Taylor the home runs smoothly. After two years living in here, I can say with confidence that my friends would be very happy Living here too.’
