This residence is ideal for Durham Region seniors who want to improve their lives by enjoying the best that life has to give, in a full-fledged care facility easily accessible to families from throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Two exceptional features of this home are the large suites and the superb dining room that combines a cozy interior with delicious food. You'll look and feel so much better, with the onsite beauty salon and spa, the exercise room, and the in-house wellness centre.

You'll enjoy driving into Lynde Creek Village, then be even more impressed when you set foot in the lobby here, seeing its bright, clean interiors. Many people living in a traditional family home will have “gotten used to” things as they are. However, when you step into a completely contemporary space like Lynde Creek Gardens — clean, bright, and created just for people like you — your mind will be opened to new possibilities.

My parents have been living at VIVA Pickering for 2 years. They absolutely love it. They feel like they’re part of a community. They have made friends with other community members and staff as well. It’s the best decision they’ve made.

I'm very very impressed with the employees and volunteers that work here. They always do their best to help me with any concerns I have and listen to what I have to say. They even take time to tell me jokes when they see me. Everyone is very friendly, especially the servers.

My dad lives here. The staff are friendly and helpful and the place is kept clean. Tons of amenities for the residents to use.

A few days ago I was offered a Lamb meal which was prepared by the Culinary staff members of Viva Pickering Retirement Community. Generally speaking, I'm not a very foody or greedy person, but man, that Lamb meal was so flavorful and nicely prepared, I was forced to ask for a second serving. Angel, your food is always nicely prepared, but wow, that Lamb was one level above excellent. After eating that meal, I'm pleased to report that I was truly served a meal prepared by an Angel. Thanks for all that you do Angel. Huge thank you and Congratulations to you and your entire team.

I wanted to say thank you to all the staff, for all their hard work and diligence keeping all the residents, especially my parents safe, during Covid. The nursing team managed by Kelly Turcotte are amazing and very helpful. I’d like to also mention Matthew Uy and his team have gone above and beyond their duties with my parents.

You certainly have the best Manager there in Michael Bezoff. I am a senior living in a building where he used to work. We are still benefiting from the excellent job he did of setting up such a high standard of maintenance and cleaning. He is a good organizer, he cares about the seniors, and he has a vast knowledge of security. He is one in a million, and our loss is your gain. I wish him the best for health and happiness.

This is an amazing place. My father was only here for Respite care for 7 days but it was amazing care. They really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and take care of your needs. The staff are great! The residents are great! I would definitely recommend this home. It is in a beautiful setting. You feel like you are in the midst of nature and I would gladly retire here.

An incredible place to live when you can't fully take care of yourself any longer.

There are no words to accurately describe the caring support I [got here]. All the staff ... no matter what their role [helped] and I would like to thank them very much ... What a happy place!

So far [since 2017], we have a had a good experience here. We are very thankful.
