The Chartwell Foundation

The Chartwell Foundation builds on a five-year partnership between Chartwell Retirement Residences and the former charity Wish of A Lifetime Canada that granted the wishes of Canadian seniors from 2015-2020.

When Wish of a Lifetime ceased its Canadian operations, Chartwell knew this meaningful mission must continue. In 2020, The Chartwell Foundation was established as a national charity to carry on helping seniors continue to live a life of purpose, connectedness, and engagement through wish granting.
