The staff at Chartwell Le Monastère in Aylmer have been wonderful. They’ve provided excellent service and care for my mother over the last eight years. Now that Mom has moved into the assisted living facility at Le Monastère, they have been so very helpful and supportive. I get answers to complex questions, advice and support from people who know what my mom and her children are going through. It makes all the difference.

My mother lived at the Monastere for 2 years until a room was available for her in the public sector. She resided on the 3rd floor of the St-Redemptoriste wing which is the dementia floor, my mom didn't have dementia but it was the only available room for her in the mean time. The staff working this floor are exceptionally hard workers, the kindest people, they work with their heart and always gave my mom exceptional care she needed. To Gerry, Chris, Suzette, Tara and many more, the nurses and also Lisa who runs this team, I am so ever grateful for your dedication in your work of taking care of the elderly. Keep up the good work you are the best of the best and we will miss you dearly. Thank you again for everything you have done for my mom in the time she was there. Kristine Perreault

My father recently moved to The Monastere, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the exceptional care and environment. From the moment Cathy gave us a tour, we felt at ease. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly compassionate, answering all our questions and making us feel confident that this was the best place for my father. The Monastere feels like a home away from home. The facility is beautifully maintained, clean, and filled with cozy spaces where residents can relax or socialize. The attention to detail is remarkable, and the staff is nothing short of amazing. Every single person, from the nurses to the housekeeping staff, is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about the well-being of the residents. The food is consistently excellent—fresh, delicious, and nutritious, with a wide variety of choices that cater to all tastes and dietary needs. My father often comments on how much he enjoys the meals, which says a lot. What truly sets Le Monastere apart is the sense of community. They offer engaging activities and events that make every day enjoyable for the residents, and the staff makes sure everyone feels included. There’s a real sense of family here, and the peace of mind we have knowing that my father is in such capable and caring hands is priceless. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will receive the best care, surrounded by kind people and a wonderful atmosphere, I highly recommend The Monastere.
