Retirement living should be as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. You’ve spent your life working hard, and you deserve to enjoy your retirement after the daily grind of those working years. This means a bit of extra convenience to make life that much better. Whether you choose to have someone cook for you every night, or want a variety of activities and facilities within reach, there are many options available at Wildpine Residence to make retirement living in Ottawa as comfortable and relaxed as can be.

If you’re looking for added convenience during retirement living, here are a few activities available at Wildpine to make your retirement that much more comfortable and enjoyable.

Fitness

Physical fitness helps maintain good overall health throughout our lives. If you have a fitness routine that you don’t want to give up in retirement, you can stick to it in the fitness room, by getting active outdoors, or by visiting a nearby facility. Wildpine’s fitness facilities, programs, and recreational activities let residents maintain good physical health and wellbeing.

These fitness programs accommodate different abilities, interests, and goals, so each resident can participate in activities they truly enjoy. Wildpine offers fitness programs on-site, and there are also programs available for residents nearby in the community.

Activity Rooms

The pleasure of retirement living is enhanced by friends and loved ones. Wildpine makes it easy to stay social and meet with friends and loved ones. There are several different activities rooms available to get together, chat, play games, and even enjoy some entertainment with friends:

The Pub

For some, nothing beats enjoying a drink at a pub with friends. Wildpine’s on-site pub lets residents enjoy this favourite social activity with added convenience. You won’t have to worry about going far to enjoy a pint with your friends!

The lounge is another fantastic place to spend time at Wildpine. Whether you just want to chat amongst friends, enjoy a large group gettogether, or simply read a book with company nearby, you can do so comfortably in Wildpine’s lounge.

The Game Room

A game room is a must for a fun social gathering. Our game room has games for everyone to enjoy, keeping residents excited, challenged, stimulated, and engaged with one another. And if you’re new to the residence, playing games with others is a great way to break the ice and form lasting friendships.

The Theatre

Although there are plenty of movie theatres in and around Ottawa, why travel to see a movie when you can catch one closer to home at Wildpine? Watching films is a beloved pastime, offering relaxation and appreciation of the cinematic arts.

The Chapel

Whether you enjoy attending religious services, or you want to check one out, the chapel at Wildpine hosts services for a variety of denominations on a regular basis. This is another added convenience so you don’t have to travel far to keep enjoying a weekly service.

Imagine having access to a library without having to go outside in the winter. That may not seem that remarkable for some, but for all the book lovers out there, that is pretty special. Wildpine’s library is stocked with a wide selection of books and periodicals, and even has computers for residents to use.
