Victoria Retirement Home | Seniors Community

The Residence

Life at Carlton House means many things; the company of friends, the attention of capable staff, the comfort of beautiful surroundings and freedom from daily chores.

The Residence

Everything has been accounted for in the design and planning, from fine dining to our movie theatre, from fireplace lounge to the cosy bistro, from our sunny conservatory and distinguished library to our beautifully appointed suites.

The residence was built in 2005. There are 88 private apartments, the majority with balconies overlooking our gardens and courtyard. In addition, all ground floor suites have large private patios. Carlton House offers a complete package of services including hair salon, professional services room and private spa to make each day an enjoyable experience.

Oak Bay is a warm, friendly community built on a human scale – just 10 minutes from Victoria’s lively downtown. Here, shops and galleries, cafés and bistros invite you to browse and explore, and all the services and recreational facilities you could wish for are near at hand.

Our attractively dressed wait staff will tempt your appetite with our daily specials. Our meal times are extended to accommodate all schedules and guests are always welcome.


Carlton House ConservatoryConservatory

This beautiful room hosts a glass roof, a grotto aquarium and a fountain. Greenery abounds among the cozy wicker furniture; a great place to enjoy a cup of tea. On those special occasions, the Conservatory is transformed into our private dining room, so that residents can have a private function in style.

Lounges

Our comfortable lounges make a wonderful place to meet your friends and enjoy a conversation around the fireplace.

Activity Centre

This “Great” room is the location of many of the leisure program events. From fitness classes, Tai Chi, guest speakers or dances, this room is where the action is. Just a step out the door is a beautifully landscaped patio for residents to enjoy.

Reflections Then & Now
By: Gipp Forster

I’m old-fashioned. I’m a leftover relic from the “olden days.” I’m kind of like an old Victor-Victrola that can still be wound up, but doesn’t move as fast as it once did. Or an eight-track tape that is still lying around but is no longer taken seriously. I’m not alone! I’m part of a fraternity. If you’re reading this, then maybe you’re part of this fraternity as well.

Keeping the Brain Active

 

Vernice Shostal | 
Senior Living Magazine

A recent study has shown that the brain, like a muscle, grows in size with use and exercise. When mental exercise occurs, specific actions in the brain take place as a result. Without exercise, both brains and muscles atrophy. Many people over the age of 50 are aware of the benefits of physical and mental exercise, and enjoy the rewards this brings them.
