GOVERNORS WALK RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - METTA LIFESTYLES

Governors Walk's setting in a historic monastery in the established New Edinburgh neighbourhood hints at the disciplined compassion, soulful community, and peaceful living you'll find here. The care here caters to people’s needs, served enthusiastically by the staff. It offers a grounded, holistic approach to senior living.

GOVERNORS WALK RETIREMENT RESIDENCE - METTA LIFESTYLES

Wonderful, caring staff who have a long tenure working at Governors Walk. Located in a beautiful, quaint neighbourhood across from Stanley Park with a wonderful Roof Top Terrace overlooking Parliament Hill, where you can enjoy viewing the fireworks. Residents and families also enjoy barbecues on the Roof Top Terrace, along with staff taking them for walks to Stanley Park when the weather permits.

The place is great.

Governors Walk merges the traditions of its past with progressive, ambitious care programs. Its unique boutique residence neighboring the GG's residence and Stanley Park is nestled into one of Ottawa's most beautiful neighborhoods. A perfect place to Age in Place in style and dignity.

Governor’s Walk was the perfect choice after my 92-year-old father’s three-month hospital stay. Walking to the dining room was a challenge at first, but within a few months, thanks to the many tree-lined river paths, the safe, scenic neighborhood, nearby Rideau Hall grounds, and easy access to grocery stores and restaurants, he can walk several kilometres with his walker. The small residence means the friendly, professional staff know everyone by name, and medication management gives us peace of mind. The food has greatly improved, which he really appreciates. He loves his unit, furnished with his favorite belongings. Governor’s Walk also fared well during a recent COVID outbreak, controlling the spread and adapting procedures. It truly was the right choice!

After a knee surgery, I checked into Governors Walk on Stanley for respite care and I was so very glad I did so. My stay was a great factor in my post surgery recovery and I would recommend this to everyone as our hospitals release people too early post surgery due to a lack of beds and care services. Governors Walk has amazing staff who are friendly willing and go above and beyond to make people feel comfortable and cared for. The individual and common rooms are clean, spacious and bright and the meals are truly very good. I took the opportunity to chat with a couple permanent residents of Governors Walk in the resident’s lounge and dining room and they all made very positive comments in regard to living here. I will not hesitate to return and to recommend it to friends who are seeking a good and safe place for their elderly relatives. My stay was a very positive experience.

STONEMONT ON THE PARK

Great experience at reception!

Beautiful retirement home. Lovely staff.

Courteous professional staff, cozy environment.

I keep telling my friends the only thing missing is a beach.

The staff is kind, patient, and responsive, and the facility is clean and well-maintained. Meals are nutritious, though more variety would be appreciated. Communication with families has been clear and reassuring. I would recommend this residence to families looking for a supportive environment.
