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.

A big shout out to Palermo Village to Preet and the team at Palermo for your kindness and caring nature. Mom spent two weeks at the center for respite care. She came home so happy today commenting on how lovely the residents are and how helpful the staff is. And the chefs must be amazing because no complaints about the food. She said that the food was delicious. It was her 1st experience away from home and she wants to go back the next time my husband and I go away. She made friends and was happy.
