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.

The Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer at Carlton House in Oak Bay

Yes, it’s summer knocking again!

Oak Bay offers so much year round, but particularly in the summer. For our residents, it’s all about enjoying everything on your doorstep, and at Carlton House it’s all within walking distance. This feature alone contributes to your fun factor, all the while maintaining good health, both mentally and physically.

Don’t leave Moving-in until it’s too late to enjoy the Good Times!

Often we hear individuals say I am too young, or too fit to go into a retirement residence. That may be, but likely not. I think there is a popular misconception about seniors living. Often we see residences catering to retirees as the places of last resort accommodation. In fact they are far from that. Most individuals feel they are giving up their independence. If anything they are enhancing it by ensuring their nutritional needs are met and they receive proper daily exercise. Companionship and socialization is vitally important to good health. Retirement residences offer that too.
