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.

THE VILLAGE OF ERIN MEADOWS

The Village of Erin Meadows continues Schlegel Villages progressive approach to senior care. Expect excellence in all aspects, from building design and layout, through care offered, to innovation in service. Flexibility is one of their touchstones. Living in My Today, Java Music Club and Wisdom of the Elder are three signature programs that exemplify their unique approach in creating care environments. Since 2009, Schlegel has driven its own culture change in senior care.

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.

My mom received great care during 5 month period she resided in memory care area at Erin Meadows. The PSWs on the floor are terrific and gave me comfort that my mom was being cared for with dignity and respect.

Absolutely zero complaints! My father stayed in the Egerton and Emma's neighbourhood during his time at Erin Meadows, and the level of care provided was excellent. Every nurse, psw, food service, housekeeping and therapist treated my father with kindness and dignity. My mother and I were extremely happy with everything, and most importantly my father was very happy. Thank you for taking such good care of my Dad Vernon!

My grandfather love this place

Excellent... Highly recommend

I've had my mom here for just a short while in the LTC wing. The staff has been great thus far and she loves the programs.

THE VILLAGE OF ERIN MEADOWS

Our Village is a proud part of a Canadian family tradition of community building that goes back 70 years. The first Schlegel family home became the foundation of what Schlegel Villages is today. Here at The Village of Erin Meadows, we offer several lifestyle options to meet a variety of needs. Our continuum of care allows for residents to age with us in place as their needs change. The residents we serve come from a range of backgrounds that thread together the fabric of our community, and while we know resident-centredness is a term that many lean on these days, we truly do focus on each individual’s wishes to guide our approach to service. Our Signature Programs help us focus on the individuality of each resident we serve. Our LIVING in My Today dementia care philosophy, for example, was developed by our team and our partners alongside people with lived experience. This provides our team the opportunity to learn exactly what it means to support a person who is experiencing the changing perceptions of dementia. We also celebrate the Wisdom of the Elder as another Signature Program, thanks to the inspiration of our founder Ron Schlegel. Ron once said: “The greatest untapped resource in Canada, if not the world, is the collective wisdom of our elders,” and we honour the individual and collective wisdom of those we serve in ways large and small.
