Letter from the Executive Director

My name is Cameron Spence and I am the Executive Director at The Redwoods Retirement Residence and have had the privilege of working here since 2008. The Redwoods opened in 1998 and we are fortunate to still have some of our original residents!

We offer a unique living experience as a former apartment building – I’ve yet to see a retirement residence in Ottawa with the array of one and two-bedroom suites, complete with full kitchens that we boast at The Redwoods! That said, the real difference maker to me is the people. Our residents are warm and inviting to newcomers and make the transition into The Redwoods very easy. Many of our staff members have been here for over 10 years, which is not very common in most residences. Our staff understand that this is your home – we are here to help you enjoy each day as part of a larger sense of community.

On behalf of myself, our staff and our wonderful residents, I hope that you will come in for a visit to see everything that The Redwoods has to offer!

A lovely way of living

The choices are yours

Renowned for its recreation and leisure program, The Redwoods is the ideal retirement choice for the active person. While there's lots to do in the neighbourhood, The Redwoods itself is the hub of most residents' busy lifestyles. Enjoy meals with friends, participate in a fitness program in the salt-water pool, play cards or enjoy any of the large variety of activities offered. And, while you're enjoying the things you really like to do, the attentive staff at The Redwoods will take of the mundane chores like cooking and housekeeping. Now that's retirement!

Independent living

The perfect solution

The Independent Living Lifestyle is perfect for active seniors who are looking for social engagement, superb amenities, independence and fun! It is not about changing your life, but rather about enhancing it and giving you the peace of mind knowing that assistance is available if needed. The Independent Neighbourhood offers all the benefits of being in your own home, but removes the worry of maintenance, chores, and even meal preparation. We offer a wealth of lifestyle choices, including a large selection of apartment types, a variety of meal plans and menus, and service options that can be customized to meet your individual needs.

Assisted living

The ideal solution

Our Assisted Living Lifestyle is the ideal solution for seniors who value their independence, yet need some assistance with daily living, or perhaps just don’t want to live alone anymore and are looking for a greater sense of security and community. Our supportive package includes help with daily acts of living, personal laundry assistance, daily bed making, 3 home-made meals a day, a hug every day and so much more!
