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.

Erinview's newest building, opened in 2019, raises the bar of care and community created in this established retirement residence. It's a completely contemporary living environment surrounded by beautiful older homes on tree-lined streets in Sheridan Homelands. Ideal for families in Mississauga, Milton, Oakville and elsewhere in the west GTA, the Erinview offers a uniquely homey feeling. That comes straight from the top, Sifton being family-run, focused on traditional values of respect for elders. One of the ways that's best exemplified is in the relative affordability of this community, compared to other seniors' residences in the area.

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.

I have resided at Erinview on two separate occasions for respite care due to hip replacement. When you walk into Erinview it feels like a warm home atmosphere. The staff and the workers are warm, caring, compassionate, and kind they care about the individual. The staff, PSWs, nurses, dining room staff, and maintenance workers are attentive to your every need. There is entertainment, outings, crafts, much to keep one busy if one so desires. In my opinion, Erinview is "par to none". I would never hesitate to have a loved one living there, because I know that they would be safe and in the most excellent care possible.

I have stayed at Erinview on two different occasions following knee replacement surgery. Erinview provided a safe and comfortable environment in which to start my recovery. The manager is very engaged with the full-time residents and those who are in for short rehabilitation stays. The PSWs were very kind and attentive and replied as promptly as possible to the personal calling devices which are given to all persons staying at Erinview. The medical staff was thorough and helpful, providing whatever level of medication support that each person required. There are lots of activities including bridge, jigsaw puzzles and handicrafts. I hope that I don’t have any more surgery for a long time but if I do Erinview would be my first choice to stay after my surgery.

My mom has lived here for over a year. She enjoys living here and has made so many wonderful friends. The staff are friendly, compassionate and caring and pay close attention to details…. Mom feels like she is part of an extended family here. I rest assured she is in great hands!

Before I moved into the Erinview, I lived here in Mississauga, just a few streets over from the Residence. We started searching for a retirment living option when my husband began developing Alzheimer's and taking care of him on my own started to get too difficult. My children suggested that it may be best to live somewhere where there was the option to have certain care and services provided; and they took it upon themselves to find us a place, sell the house, pack us up and help us relocate. Given that we lived so close by, I spent many years driving by the building and seeing it from only its exterior. One day while out for lunch with my daughter-in-laws, they brought me into The Erinview for a tour. I walked in and had a great feeling right from the start. It felt comfortable, spacious; my gut was telling me this was it. The most important thing was to be someplace welcoming and inviting, and still have the space to keep certain pieces and memorabilia that would have been difficult to part with. I listened to my gut upon walking through those doors the very first time, and it spoke to me that this place was to become our new home. My suite has the right amount of space for the items that I wanted to keep, and it's the perfect size to display all my travel items and family photos proudly. The best piece of advice that I have for someone searching for a retirement residence would be to listen to their gut and follow that feeling. One of the things that surprised me was the affordability of living in a retirement residence and I wished I had known sooner: I never have to cook again or make long grocery trips. I also love socials and entertainment programs such as music performances - they are my favourite. I also really enjoy going on the outings, especially shopping! My lovely suite has the right amount of space for the items that I wanted to keep and it's the perfect size to display all my travel items and family photos proudly!

Wonderfully refreshing to see beautiful people enjoying [every day] at Erinview.
