Our Perspective
How we see 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.
Health services offered are multifarious, including continence care. Medication management and care services are included where needed, of course, but it’s administered as part of a focus on healthy living. Programming includes mind, body, and soul, with each aspect well-accounted for by activities available within this community. Alongside more prosaic things like card games, Bingo and Bocce ball, life-enriching events include outings to local theatres and museums, as close to Ottawa’s heart as this community is.

"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."Ransford Beckford, visitor or friend

I don't think I could find a better place to live.
In December 2021 I started my fourth year at Governors Walk. Every day I feel fortunate to live in such a wonderful home where the staff at all levels is caring, sensitive and competent.
My suite as well as all common areas are kept clean, the dining room is attractive and the food well above average.
My husband was bedridden for 2 months and died in September 2021. The care and affection he received were exceptional.
I don't think I could find a better place to live.
