Lovely greenspace and convenient on-site amenities

One of the most appreciated aspects of life at Chartwell Van Horne is our pretty outdoor courtyard, where our residents love to gather, socialize or simply enjoy some fresh air. We often enjoy wildlife sightings like deer and different species of birds, making our residence feel integrated with our natural surroundings.

The open-concept, bungalow-style layout of our residence also makes it a conducive setting for social gatherings and lifestyle experiences. Here, you have easy access to our bright dining room, where you can enjoy a delicious meal served tableside, a beautiful library for quiet enjoyment or a meeting of the book club, a lively bistro where coffee, tea and snacks are served, and much more. Our population of residents is very active and engaged, which is why you may find yourself enjoying card and poker nights, current events discussions, Bible reading study and much more alongside new friends.
