Senior’s care is always evolving. Innovative technology to best practices, Verve Senior Living continues to be at the forefront of the industry when it comes to incorporating best-in-care into its retirement communities across Canada.
From the state-of-the-art residence like The Shores of Port Credit community in Mississauga, Ontario, to breaking ground on the Riverwalk Retirement Residence in Calgary, Alberta, Verve is continuing to expand its trusted name to provide exceptional senior living to the growing seniors population in Canada.
Verve’s mission to make every day matter for each senior in its care begins with a dedicated, collaborative staff who provide quality continuum of care, independent living through to memory care. Acting on integrity and the idea that every day can be excitingly enhanced, the team is trained to adapt to the unique needs of every resident.
"We believe in nurturing long-term relationships. We want our residents to feel comfortable to come to us with their needs — and their successes! That’s part of what makes Verve so special: we believe this can be just the beginning of discovering life again!” says Verve’s National Director of Sales and Marketing, Karen Kotanko.
The staff at Verve have long been praised for their professionalism, kindness, and enthusiasm. With a united aim to infuse passion and purpose into the lives of the residents, the team provides a strong support network. Making the lives of seniors better is Verve’s main goal.
Laying the groundwork is a new campaign that unites Verve residences across the country and encourages individual empowerment for its seniors.
“Sharing experiences, interests and talents through unexpected and inclusive activities for a healthier lifestyle is a cornerstone in the Verve way of life. Our programs are designed to feed the spirit in a way that is redefining what it means to be aging, together,” say’s Sheri Brown, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing, Western Canada.
“We look out for each other,” says William a resident at a Verve residence. “We encourage each other and everyone that lives here is respectful of their neighbours. A little empathy can go a long way – I think you learn that with age.”
Paired with specially designed amenities and programs that focus on the mind-body-spirit connection for an all-around healthy lifestyle, the level of care becomes unparalleled. Or as they like to call it: The Verve Difference.
Each Verve residence is woven into the fabric of its community, incorporating socials and outings, clubs, volunteer programs, participation in local charities; right down to the very design of the residence itself to suit the essence of the neighborhood.
“There’s plenty of opportunity to be social and find inspiration around every corner!” enthuses Stephanie Barnes, Area Life Enrichment Manager. “We create environments that bring our residents together in a way that will help them form meaningful connections and share their interests and experiences.”
Part of those experiences is the joy of dining. From freshly prepared meals, thoughtfully created by Red Seal-certified chefs, to the beautifully natural enjoyment one gets from dining together, residents’ benefit from Verve’s signature Living Loving Local program. Utilizing the freshest farm-to-table ingredients and cooked to inspired perfection, each meal is meant to feed the nourish the body and the soul.
“Oh it’s better than any home cooking I’ve ever had,” chuckles Betty, a resident at The Shores of Port Credit in Mississauga. The way Chef Khristopher prepares a meal, I’ve never seen anything like it! And delicious, too!”
Other programs exclusive to Verve that are designed to enrich the lives of its residents are Meet me at the MoMA that explores art therapy, Fit Minds centers around evidence-based Cognitive Stimulation Therapy Programs, and Go4Life to keep the body active.
"We age but we should never stop growing. That's why we focus on spirit first and encourage participation in activities that promote mental and physical health,” says Verve’s National Director of Wellness, Denise Kato.
