As far as locations go, it doesn’t get any more scenic than this. Overlooking the Mississippi River and nestled alongside the Trans Canada Trail, Waterside is a vibrant rental retirement community in the heart of the Ottawa Valley.
Independent LivingAssisted Living ServicesRespite StaysHotel & Trial StaysJust a short drive from Ottawa, Waterside is conveniently located in scenic Carleton Place. Take a stroll down the street to the town centre and shopping districts to enjoy great dining and year-round special events. On site, landscaped walking paths crisscross our grounds, plus we’re right beside by the world’s longest network of trails – the Trans Canada Trail.
When we design our suites, we take out time to think about what is most important to you. For example, our spacious suites include walk-in closets because we appreciate how important storage is when moving from a larger home. Our kitchenettes feature full-size refrigerators instead of smaller bar-fridge models because we know that sometimes you just want to prepare a snack for the grandchildren instead of heading over to the dining room. Our bathrooms feature a walk-in shower with a built-in seat and safety bars so you can bathe with ease.
