4.5 ⭐️ Chartwell Colonel Belcher has been home for my 92 year old Father for over 2 years now. The front desk team, especially Larema, truly goes above and beyond. She has been incredibly supportive of both my Dad and our family, always attentive, kind, and proactive in making sure things run smoothly when needed. I cannot express enough how considerate and thoughtful she has been, and how instrumental she has been in helping make Dad’s new living environment feel like home. Jennifer, part of the CBI health support team, has been such a blessing to our family. We are deeply grateful for the care and attention she has given him....goes above and beyond as well!!! Jennifer's heart is in her work and we feel beyond fortunate to have her as part of Dad's team. Not only is she invested in his health and wellness she reports concerns and follows his program plan meticulously. Denise has also been incredibly supportive especially with evening calls. She has always been kind, reassuring, and attentive, checking in on my dad, when I have concerns, and making sure things are okay. These ladies truly care about the residents and their happiness. My dad enjoys the food, happy hour, live entertainment, and occasionally joins the outings when encouraged. Ashley and the recreational team look out for my Dad and his wellbeing...it's pretty special how they take so much care with him as they do with all the clients during activities. It’s been a transition we were nervous and uncertain about at first, but we’ve been very pleasantly surprised by the level of care and support. Overall, what we expected to be a very difficult transition has instead been met with steady support and compassion from the front line team at the Chartwell Colonel Belcher.

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.’
