City View Philosophy

Locally owned and operated, City View retirement community was founded on two core principles. First, the ultimate objective is to provide residents with an unparalleled quality of care that has been custom tailored to their individual needs. Second, City View has made concerted efforts to ensure these services are available at an affordable rate.

The City View Philosophy is geared specifically towards accessibility, service and a resident oriented, local management approach. After accumulating years of valuable experience within the industry, City View’s leadership understands what residents expect when they make the important transition to retirement living in Nepean. City View’s leaders have come together with a shared vision to provide affordable, quality, compassionate services that have been custom-tailored to resident needs.

• Close to the City of Ottawa library, Centrepointe Theatre, Nepean Seniors Centre and a number of Churches.

Short Term & Respite Care

Memory Care Unit

Our memory care unit at City View includes all the standard features of a retirement residence designed to ensure comfort and security, along with several distinctive elements that set it apart.

Bright, thoughtfully selected colours and engaging murals decorate the walls, creating a warm and supportive environment. Every aspect of the 20-room wing—our dedicated memory care unit—is designed to help individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia experience a meaningful and fulfilling daily life.

Memory care goes beyond simply providing 24-hour supervision and meeting physical needs. While safety and support remain essential, there is also a strong emphasis on purposeful programming and meaningful engagement, helping residents connect with their experiences, interests, and sense of identity.

The unit is modelled after an innovative memory living approach that is gaining popularity across Canada and internationally. In addition to incorporating familiar objects and décor that can spark recognition and comfort, the program takes a highly personalized approach to care, recognizing each resident’s unique history, preferences, and abilities.
