I would like to sincerely thank Chartwell for giving my son the opportunity to complete his volunteer service at the retirement home. This experience has been incredibly valuable for his personal growth and has taught him the importance of caring for and supporting older adults. Thank you for welcoming him and placing your trust in him. We truly appreciate the time, guidance, and support you have provided throughout his volunteer experience.

Great staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The entertainment and activities are fun and engaging, like "Brain & Body Exercises with Gina". Unlike any other 'fitness' class - a mindful, fun approach to movement and strength.

I feel very fortunate in choosing Chartwell Royal as my last port of call! My suite is roomy, airy and bright with high ceilings and an outlook on to a courtyard around which the house is built, with beautiful trees and a lovely garden. The staff form an excellent team and is always ready to help whatever and whenever the need. They seem constantly in touch with each other and their cheerful willingness is very encouraging. The food is good and plentiful and varying tastes are always accommodated. There is also plenty of entertainment, opportunities for games, exercise and other pursuits, plus a great library. I am very happy here.
