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.

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.

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.

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.
