One-to-one comparison

VIVA OAKVILLE

The best and brightest of senior living goes into this community. The amenities here are dazzling, including an onsite café, pub, and other five-star features. There’s also a hairdresser and manicurist, along with a concierge to make sure all your needs are met. People who participate in brain gym really enjoy the benefits of this program. If you’re going to move somewhere new, why not make it brand new? If you're looking for the best in the GTA, imagine life in one of these bright suites with wide windows, and a completely new bath and kitchen.

LIVITA QUEENS AVENUE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

This community is unanimously praised by residents and family members. It’s especially noted for the staff’s professionalism, personal warmth, attentiveness, and compassion. They go beyond duties to give personal time and express a personal interest in those in their care, and as one family member puts it, they anticipate needs. They create a warm community that makes seniors’ lives easier and better.

I took my parents for a tour of the Viva Oakville retirement residence and I must say that it was an absolutely wonderful experience dealing with the staff, as they made my parents feel really welcome. I want to especially acknowledge Shikha Bhatia and Kiran Sohal who both went out of their way to answer our questions and make my parents feel comfortable. Keep up the great work Viva Oakville!!

My Mom is one of the original Community Members at V!VA Oakville, moving in September 2019. The staff are all wonderful, friendly & caring. They're one big family. The Lifestyles Team organizes fun & interesting activities, both within the building & outings that use the V!VA bus for transportation. Chef Rob (Executive Chef) never disappoints with his 5 star rated meals. The servers in the dining room remember the special requests of the Community Members and bring them without having to be asked. (2 teabags in the teapot; what kind of tea; no crackers with soup; warm the pie; extra whip cream; etc) We just celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday and every V!VA team member that was involved went above & beyond to make her day perfect. Frank Pantusa (Culinary Services Manager) worked with us for many weeks to plan this party & shared many wonderful ideas to help make sure things ran smoothly. He ensured everything was organized & worked very hard during the party, which was greatly appreciated. The meals that Chef Rob served were prepared to perfection. The presentation & taste of our delicious meals were thoroughly enjoyed by all 31 guests. From the hors d'oeuvres to dessert, everyone's taste buds were joyous. Chef Rob was a pleasure to work with during the planning stages, sharing his suggestions & expertise. The 2 servers that worked during Mom's party were top-notch. Arlene & Maricar worked very hard, and made sure everything was perfect & smiled all evening. I live out of province & stay with Mom in her suite when I visit. I am always made to feel welcome by both Community Members & V!VA Team Members. V!VA Oakville is my Mom's (& all Community Member's) home & everyone is treated as such, which is perfect! (I've included 1 photo from our dinner. It's the dessert, Eton Mess, prepared by Chef Rob.) V!VA Oakville is more than worthy of this 5 star review. Thank you V!VA Oakville for being so wonderful.

Viva Oakville is a wonderful retirement community. The staff are friendly and always helpful. My in-laws have been very happy making Viva their home. It is always kept clean and there are lots of activities and entertainment. Suites are nicely designed and well equipped.

My parents moved in just before Covid and it was a great move. Lots of activities and great staff. Very positive experience.

When I decided it was time for me to make plans to leave my beloved home, a bungalow in Milton, I decided to start by making the rounds of all the Senior Retirement Communities in Oakville, to decide where I would like to go live. I visited pretty well all of them and discussed my findings with my family. Together we decided that the best place for me would be VIVA OAKVILLE for the following reasons: 1- Everything is new and atttractive. 2- Everyone living here looked like people I would like to be friends with. 3- There are nurses on location day and night. 4- Although expensive, they are not the most expensive. 5- They have so much going on here that the residents have something to do all the time if they wish. 6- It is great not to have to cook my own meals, and the food is really good. 7- Every resident has an emergency button they can push if they fall or need assistance. In very few words, I am thrilled that I moved here. I love it.

LIVITA QUEENS AVENUE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

I have lived here for 12 years and it certainly feels like home. Everyone, management, staff—everyone is doing an exceptional job of making it so. Helpful, courteous, and friendly, makes you feel secure and comfortable... much appreciated by this 100-year-old.

My aunt and uncle are so happy with their decision to move into Queens Avenue Retirement Centre. Every week I go for a visit and all the staff members are so kind and helpful. Keep up the excellent work you do each day.

Yesterday, my mother celebrated 20 years at Queens Avenue Retirement Residence. When she first arrived, there were few residents that had mobility issues. Since then it has been amazing to see the staff and management adapt to an aging population. Most recently the staff had to adapt to caring for their residents during a pandemic. They have done so beautifully. My family is thankful to have found this jewel of a place and are so grateful for the level of care afforded to our mom.

If you're looking for loving, compassionate, and holistic care for your loved one Queen's Avenue (QARR) is the ONE. Both of our parents were very fortunate to be family members of QARR. They were always greeted with an infectious smile and excellent care from the staff.

I would highly recommend the Queens Avenue Retirement Residence. As soon as you enter Queens Avenue you will find yourself in a very welcoming lobby. The recent renovations on the main floor, which include a sitting area with a fireplace, as well as a bistro, are very inviting. The apartments are spacious and well laid out. The best part of Queens Avenue is the staff! All of the staff, including housekeeping, kitchen, administration, and especially the PSW and nursing care staff have become like family. The attention to personal safety and well-being is highly apparent. During this uncertain time, I had full confidence in the goings on of Queens Avenue Retirement.
