My Mom is staying at Queen’s Square. Located in the historic picturesque downtown of (Galt) Cambridge. It is lovely, smaller retirement community, beautiful and clean with a wonderful compassionate and caring staff. Lots of activities for those who want to get involved. We, as a family, have peace of mind knowing our Mom is cared for while still maintaining a level of independence.

My Mother in-law has lived at Queens Square for almost ten years. The staff have gone over and above to make it home for her. She really enjoys the entertainment. We know she is safe and the nursing staff and support workers have been top notch. Special Thanks to Rosalyn McKay for all your support over the years. We would also like to acknowledge Nursing staff Heather and Mimi, thanks for all you do. Larry & Susan

I can’t say enough good things about Chartwell. I have a resident staying there, and the level of care and compassion they provide is truly outstanding. The staff are attentive, kind, and genuinely take the time to ensure residents feel safe, comfortable, and respected. It brings real peace of mind knowing she is so well cared for. Thank you to the entire Chartwell team for the incredible work you do every day.
