Chartwell Care Corporation was Canada’s largest third-party manager of seniors housing facilities. Founded in 1999, it had grown to over 40 facilities under management or development representing more than $500 million in assets. Alert Care Corporation owned and operated over 30 facilities with additional facilities under development. Alert pioneered the light care retirement home concept, and has been a leader in introducing a number of innovations to the industry since 1985. The Binions Companies, founded in 1978, have extensive experience owning and managing long-term care facilities, and have grown to become the leading authority on long-term care in the country.
Chartwell REIT has brought these three successful companies together to form Canada’s second largest industry participant. With an experienced management team and staff proven in all aspects of owning and operating seniors residential facilities, and a diversified portfolio of high-quality residences spanning the country, we are well-prepared to meet your every need.
At Chartwell, our Number One priority is the care and service of our residents. Our mission is to provide Canada’s seniors with a safe and rewarding lifestyle in a residence they are proud to call home. This emphasis drives the design of our facilities, the people we hire and the services we offer.
Our facilities are among the most modern and attractive in the business, offering larger and more comfortable accommodation with services designed to meet the needs of today’s most discerning seniors. Most importantly, we employ only the most skilled and caring staff, people who appreciate the reward of working with seniors and who have truly embraced our priority of care and service. For example, our on-site administrators and caregivers are among the most professional and dedicated in the business. These people, experienced nurses and health practitioners, look after the daily operation of each facility, and have built the Chartwell REIT operating names into well-respected and credible brands within the Canadian seniors housing sector.
Chartwell is also the only Canadian entity offering a full “continuum of care” across the complete spectrum of senior’s housing - from independent living, to retirement homes to fully-serviced long-term care facilities. This complete service offering is available to help today’s seniors through all phases of their retirement years.
My commitment since entering this business has been to ensure all of our facilities would be good enough for my Mother. My Mother lived in one of our facilities until she passed away, and for many years offered the kind of constructive criticism that only a parent can. This quality test endures, and is the tangible proof of our passion for the business and our belief that we are providing a service that is necessary and appreciated in every community across Canada.
