One-to-one comparison

CHARTWELL OAKVILLE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Chartwell Oakville Retirement Residence is an ultra-modern retirement residence, facing onto expansive parkland in upscale Oakville, near bountiful local shopping that includes restaurants, shops, grocery stores, banks, and other retailers. It’s a wonderful instance of five-star senior living from a company that knows how to make a strong impression from first to last. Step into the door and you're greeted with a soaring, expansive main floor lounge. Features like that impress, but Chartwell Oakville also offers families and seniors much deeper value than that.

My Mom moved into a beautiful and bright one bedroom suite as an able bodied 86-year-old nearly four years ago. As time went by, she developed vascular dementia that impacted her cognitive and physical abilities. As she required more care, the staff -- from the nurses to the cleaners, from the program coordinators to the CEO -- at Chartwell Oakville adjusted their interactions to match her needs -- they were ALL fabulous at every stage. We always felt she was safe and happy. We were so thankful for the space, team and care.

Mum moved this month to Chartwell Oakville Residence. I cannot say enough about the excellent welcome from staff to help with mum’s transition. First night, we had dinner with mum and the selection and quality of the meals were exceptional. On move in, the unit was spotless and in perfect condition. Especially want to thank Helen and Karrie for guiding us through this emotional move as a family. 10/10 on the entire journey and mum is looking forward to her new home, making new friends and enjoying the countless activities listed each day in the calendar. The balcony was a bonus for mum.

My Mum moved in as a permanent resident last week after being on a respite earlier in the year. Her welcome 'back' was incredible; knowing her interests they already had Mum signed up for outings, organised her daily routine and ensured everything was as she liked it! The staff are so helpful and friendly. They made the move super easy. I've met several of the other residents, Mum's friends, and they are all cheerful. This is a place everyone is included.

I was delighted to attend a Real Estate and Finance seminar organized at Chartwell Oakville Retirement Residence. It was an educational seminar that talked about relevant information for me making decisions at this stage of my life. We had a great tour of the residence, viewing various suite choices, all very big, bright and airy. The atmosphere at Chartwell Oakville was very welcoming. Kerri our consultant was attentive and I was impressed that Kerri would greet all the residents in such a personal and endearing way. When it comes time to make my decision Chartwell Oakville will be at the top of my list!

My family has visited multiple Retirement homes in the Oakville area. I have to say that this home was the cleanest and most organized home out of the bunch. We had a tour of the facility and were very impressed with not only the staff, but also after having conversations with the other residents. They were very happy living there. Although mom and dad are not ready to move we now know where to go when they are.

I took my parents for a tour of the Viva Oakville retirement residence and I must say that it was an absolutely wonderful experience dealing with the staff, as they made my parents feel really welcome. I want to especially acknowledge Shikha Bhatia and Kiran Sohal who both went out of their way to answer our questions and make my parents feel comfortable. Keep up the great work Viva Oakville!!

My Mom is one of the original Community Members at V!VA Oakville, moving in September 2019. The staff are all wonderful, friendly & caring. They're one big family. The Lifestyles Team organizes fun & interesting activities, both within the building & outings that use the V!VA bus for transportation. Chef Rob (Executive Chef) never disappoints with his 5 star rated meals. The servers in the dining room remember the special requests of the Community Members and bring them without having to be asked. (2 teabags in the teapot; what kind of tea; no crackers with soup; warm the pie; extra whip cream; etc) We just celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday and every V!VA team member that was involved went above & beyond to make her day perfect. Frank Pantusa (Culinary Services Manager) worked with us for many weeks to plan this party & shared many wonderful ideas to help make sure things ran smoothly. He ensured everything was organized & worked very hard during the party, which was greatly appreciated. The meals that Chef Rob served were prepared to perfection. The presentation & taste of our delicious meals were thoroughly enjoyed by all 31 guests. From the hors d'oeuvres to dessert, everyone's taste buds were joyous. Chef Rob was a pleasure to work with during the planning stages, sharing his suggestions & expertise. The 2 servers that worked during Mom's party were top-notch. Arlene & Maricar worked very hard, and made sure everything was perfect & smiled all evening. I live out of province & stay with Mom in her suite when I visit. I am always made to feel welcome by both Community Members & V!VA Team Members. V!VA Oakville is my Mom's (& all Community Member's) home & everyone is treated as such, which is perfect! (I've included 1 photo from our dinner. It's the dessert, Eton Mess, prepared by Chef Rob.) V!VA Oakville is more than worthy of this 5 star review. Thank you V!VA Oakville for being so wonderful.

Viva Oakville is a wonderful retirement community. The staff are friendly and always helpful. My in-laws have been very happy making Viva their home. It is always kept clean and there are lots of activities and entertainment. Suites are nicely designed and well equipped.

My parents moved in just before Covid and it was a great move. Lots of activities and great staff. Very positive experience.

When I decided it was time for me to make plans to leave my beloved home, a bungalow in Milton, I decided to start by making the rounds of all the Senior Retirement Communities in Oakville, to decide where I would like to go live. I visited pretty well all of them and discussed my findings with my family. Together we decided that the best place for me would be VIVA OAKVILLE for the following reasons: 1- Everything is new and atttractive. 2- Everyone living here looked like people I would like to be friends with. 3- There are nurses on location day and night. 4- Although expensive, they are not the most expensive. 5- They have so much going on here that the residents have something to do all the time if they wish. 6- It is great not to have to cook my own meals, and the food is really good. 7- Every resident has an emergency button they can push if they fall or need assistance. In very few words, I am thrilled that I moved here. I love it.
