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.

Viva Whitby has been a welcoming place from the first day we visited, all the staff are friendly and take the time to treat everyone like family not just a client. Special shout out to Cheryl Andrews the Community Relations Manager for providing a very informative tour and follow-up from our first introduction to move in and a thank you to Chef Richard for always taking time at meal time to recognize and entertain my folks.

Viva Whitby Shores is a great place to live. I have lived here for nearly [10] months The staff are very friendly and we have lots of things to do.

My mom became a resident of the Viva Whitby Shores Retirement Community in March 2022. My mom agrees moving to the Viva Whitby Shores Retirement Community has been a very positive step for her and increased her quality of life. The entire experience has been excellent. The facility is clean and bright and is in a great location. The suites are well-sized and designed. The facility has a pub, Vivaplex, swimming pool, hair and nail salon, craft kitchen, golf simulator, and a horticultural area. Lots to do. The dining room provides a variety of good menu options. There is a Perks Cafe providing drinks and snacks throughout the day. The residents are great and my mom enjoys socializing with them all. All the residents are friendly and there is great social interaction between all the residents and staff. All the staff are awesome. My mother has never been able to say enough good things about the staff of Viva Whitby Shores. They are all friendly, helpful, courteous and do all they can to ensure all the residents (including my mom) have a safe and enjoyable time. There are activities scheduled each day for the residents to attend. There is so much choice for the residents to get involved in. My mom really enjoys attending the singing and dancing shows that occur. This has been a very positive experience for my mom. After living on her own for 5 years following my dad's passing, this has certainly rejuvenated her and she wishes she had done this a little sooner. If you are looking for a retirement home in Whitby, you have to check out Viva Whitby Shores. You will not be disappointed.

Such a lovely retirement home and just a 3-minute walk to the drug store, coffee shop, bank, restaurants, and pet store. My friend's Mom receives excellent care there and is very comfortable. So nice to be close to the water.

We cannot say enough positive comments that reflect the enthusiasm and care that each employee showed us... Mom is now in her 2nd month living at VIVA and she just loves it. We couldn’t be happier for her.
