This has been a great place for my mom. The nursing team has been great but one nurse in particular, Manpreet, has always been extremely kind, helpful and is an angel. Those are the kinds of nurses we need for our loved ones. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you Viva for giving our mom back to us. Mom has been living at VIVA for 10 months now, and I cannot express what a difference it has made. She is thriving. Seeing her laughing, dancing, and enjoying her new lifestyle at Viva is truly priceless!
The staff and lifestyle team go above and beyond to make every community member feel like family and always with a smile on their face. The whole atmosphere at Viva is welcoming! The food and dining service is top-notch. We have looked at several seniors' residents, and none can compare to Viva. From the moment we walked in for our tour, it felt like home!

It’s a hotel-like atmosphere. The attention to detail is great! The staff is very caring, and they get to know each resident [individually]. So, they know how my dad likes the sheets tucked in, and he has the same housekeeping person each week. She takes notice and takes care. They also have wonderful meals and dining which my dad really enjoys. He notices that certain servers get to know him, how he likes his eggs in the morning, little details like that. The lifestyle coordinator knows what his interests are, and if there’s a concert they think he’ll like they make sure he knows.
He moved there right after my mom passed away and it's kept him from declining. It's renewed his energy and passion for trying new things and meeting new people.

My family truly feels like Mom is in good hands at Viva Mississauga. All the staff are responsive and helpful, and the building is beautifully decorated and well maintained by their in-house staff.

Our experience at Viva has been great. My dad moved in in Oct. 2020 and although off to a rough start due to Covid he has managed to fit in well. The staff are friendly and food is great.

I stayed here for two weeks following a major surgery. The staff are superb in remembering your name and very quickly understanding your needs. They are very friendly and efficient and respond to concerns almost instantaneously. The ambience and cleanliness of the facility is very welcoming. The restaurant (on site dining room) provides excellent servers, quick, hot food service and ample choices for picky eaters like me. The food is definitely worthy of a five-star rating I was there during the Christmas season and the specialty Christmas menu was excellently prepared, ample portions and choices and served with pride. I would highly recommend this facility for temporary or long term situations.

We looked for many months at several alternatives. We choose V!VA Mississauga [because] we liked the size of the facility. Not to large, not to small. The dining weighed large in our decision. The highly experienced chef creates some amazing menus. The flexibility of menu choice was also a large factor for us. The management and staff at V!VA Mississauga from the General Manager to Housekeeping are a delight and do everything they can to make our day to day living pleasant. I have described our living as having a state room on a luxury liner that never leaves the dock.

I have lived in three different retirement facilities in the last five years and can say, quite honestly, that V!VA offers the best living environment, dietary choice and activity schedule that I have ever known!

[I was never interested in moving] into a retirement community until I went for a tour at V!VA. [What] I enjoy the most is the exercise classes that are provided daily ... I can now call V!VA my home. I really enjoy it here!
