One-to-one comparison

VIVA MISSISSAUGA

This is an excellent example of superior contemporary senior living, in the heart of one of the most family-oriented, populous GTA suburbs. Here, family from Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville and Vaughan (or anywhere in the west end, or even further out) can easily drop in and visit. And you'll love to do so, thanks to the attention to detail in both the building and the loving, compassionate care given to seniors here.

Both family members and the seniors who live here list the most striking quality of this community as "the genuine friendliness of the staff" … their eagerness to please. And when it comes right down to it, that's the most important aspect of any retirement community. A clean, healthy environment with great food and fun activities is always important (Credit River has all those things!) but ultimately there's nothing better than being surrounded by people willing to go out of their way to make every day the best it can be.

This has been a great place for my mom. The nursing team has been great but one nurse in particular, Manpreet, has always been extremely kind, helpful and is an angel. Those are the kinds of nurses we need for our loved ones. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you Viva for giving our mom back to us. Mom has been living at VIVA for 10 months now, and I cannot express what a difference it has made. She is thriving. Seeing her laughing, dancing, and enjoying her new lifestyle at Viva is truly priceless! The staff and lifestyle team go above and beyond to make every community member feel like family and always with a smile on their face. The whole atmosphere at Viva is welcoming! The food and dining service is top-notch. We have looked at several seniors' residents, and none can compare to Viva. From the moment we walked in for our tour, it felt like home!

It’s a hotel-like atmosphere. The attention to detail is great! The staff is very caring, and they get to know each resident [individually]. So, they know how my dad likes the sheets tucked in, and he has the same housekeeping person each week. She takes notice and takes care. They also have wonderful meals and dining which my dad really enjoys. He notices that certain servers get to know him, how he likes his eggs in the morning, little details like that. The lifestyle coordinator knows what his interests are, and if there’s a concert they think he’ll like they make sure he knows. He moved there right after my mom passed away and it's kept him from declining. It's renewed his energy and passion for trying new things and meeting new people.

My family truly feels like Mom is in good hands at Viva Mississauga. All the staff are responsive and helpful, and the building is beautifully decorated and well maintained by their in-house staff.

Our experience at Viva has been great. My dad moved in in Oct. 2020 and although off to a rough start due to Covid he has managed to fit in well. The staff are friendly and food is great.

The transition for my Mom was a big worry. I wanted this to be home right from day one. The staff made it just that, answering all my 1000 emails/texts so quickly, and welcoming and having her space perfectly ready for her to move in with no problems. It hasn’t even been a full week and they call her by her name. The food is exceptional and they always give her extra dessert.

The staff are very welcoming and patient. They never seem rushed and make you feel like you are what’s most important. The atmosphere is pleasant, comforting and welcoming, and the upkeep is impeccable. My father stayed for a short while in respite care and had a great experience.

Credit River’s team have been wonderful helping us to transition dad from his home to their Retirement home . We had many questions and concerns going in however they were handled with patience and honesty and, in the end, we felt this was the best place for our father to live a better quality of life. Their team of nurses and PSWs are kind and attentive. We know dad will be well taken care of.

To appreciate this review you have to understand that moving my loved one out of her home into an unfamiliar environment was one of the most agonizing decisions I ever had to make. Now I feel that moving her to Credit River has been one of the best decisions we made with respect to her care. It warms my heart to see her living on the memory care floor with wonderful people, just like her, who are treated with the utmost dignity and care. The staff are kind and patient, and the environment is cozy with all the elements of home - right down to the warm raisin toast and tea before bedtime.

My sister and I have high praise for Susan and all staff at Credit River Retirement Residence. They have been honest, very helpful and efficient when our mom needed to go into Assisted-Living. Mom has now been there for 7 months and feels very comfortable and safe knowing staff will help and guide her as she navigates her way through Dementia. Our mom enjoys the activities plus finds all the meals very satisfying. My sister and I know our mom is in the best of care at Credit River Retirement Residence.
