My parents have been living at VIVA Pickering for 2 years. They absolutely love it. They feel like they’re part of a community. They have made friends with other community members and staff as well. It’s the best decision they’ve made.

I'm very very impressed with the employees and volunteers that work here. They always do their best to help me with any concerns I have and listen to what I have to say. They even take time to tell me jokes when they see me. Everyone is very friendly, especially the servers.

My dad lives here. The staff are friendly and helpful and the place is kept clean. Tons of amenities for the residents to use.

A few days ago I was offered a Lamb meal which was prepared by the Culinary staff members of Viva Pickering Retirement Community. Generally speaking, I'm not a very foody or greedy person, but man, that Lamb meal was so flavorful and nicely prepared, I was forced to ask for a second serving. Angel, your food is always nicely prepared, but wow, that Lamb was one level above excellent. After eating that meal, I'm pleased to report that I was truly served a meal prepared by an Angel. Thanks for all that you do Angel. Huge thank you and Congratulations to you and your entire team.

I wanted to say thank you to all the staff, for all their hard work and diligence keeping all the residents, especially my parents safe, during Covid. The nursing team managed by Kelly Turcotte are amazing and very helpful. I’d like to also mention Matthew Uy and his team have gone above and beyond their duties with my parents.

My father can't say enough good things about your hard work and care, delivering in-room meals, health checkups and endless sanitizing, all with a cheerful and professional attitude that brightens his tedious days of lockdown. Very reassuring knowing you are looking out for him until it's safe to be in public again.
