This place closed a year ago. It has been renovated and will soon house homeless people and others from the Downtown East Side.

I love this place - its quiet clean respectful Caring Considerate & friendly Also it's close to VGH where all my Cancer appointments are. Chalmers has several cars that drive the Cancer patients to their appointments.

My Aunt has been living at Chalmers Lodge for nearly two years now. She has really settled into what she refers to as her "hotel". She get confused very easily and she can be repetitive, but she says she is so thankful that we found this place for her.
The setting and the environment is perfect for her needs. She is able to get a large amount of social interaction at the Lodge. It is very beautiful that she has the opportunity to enjoy others there. She always introduces me to her "friends" every time I go to the Lodge for a visit. She will call me every evening after her supper and she has gone back to her room. The story is the same time and time again. Actually she just called at this moment and said "I've just got back to my room, and had a good supper. Now I'll get into my pajamas and read in bed until I fall asleep". Last night she told me "I just got back to my room, but I will go back downstairs to visit with my friends who are staying her as well".
When she lived in an apartment, she spent a lot of time in her unit without any social interaction. This has all changed for her and others seem to enjoy her as well when they get together after a meal to chat. What a place.

Our father George was fortunate enough to have had 6 lovely months at Chalmers but as his condition changed after a long hospitalization he ended up requiring more care and is now in a new home. We visited him daily at Chalmers and were always impressed by how welcoming each and every staff member was. It truly is a wonderful place to live and we appreciate all the care and attention our dad was shown. He says now he really liked it there, and that really is high praise indeed, as he had moved to Chalmers from living at home and it was a huge transition. But it was the staff that smoothed the way! Thank you all at Chalmers!
Our time there was relatively short but all your kind professionalism was very much appreciated and will not be forgotten.
