How we see Carp Commons Retirement Village - Verve Senior Living

This is the kind of place where people will discover how great senior living can be. The staff and the building environment help create a community where people make friends, form bonds, and enjoy life in a group of senior peers. Those who have lived alone will find great friends here and learn to enjoy life anew. People’s lives improve immensely here.

Carp Commons allows people to retire in this lovely, heavily-rural area, west of the hustle and bustle of Ottawa proper. It’s also a growing area, of course, with this community being one of many newer developments. It's an ideal destination for people from throughout Eastern Ontario who want to be close to family in Kanata and Ottawa's west end.

This mid-rise delivers on Verve's philosophy of making every day great. Seniors who are still independent but no longer want to live alone will find their enthusiasm rekindled here. It’s perfect if you're tired of solo meals and want more friends. Independent seniors will find a home on the top floor's private residential units, where you can choose to come downstairs to participate in activities. You'll also be able to relax in the spa, have a meal in the dining room, or join in life in the games room. Seniors have told us the move is an "enjoyable adventure."

When a friend suggested Carp Commons, and I went for a tour, I knew that this heart-wrenching decision had just become a little less painful. My friend has been happily and actively liv..."

R D, family member

"My mother has been a resident of Carp Commons since 2019. Recently her husband passed away and she needed to change apartments. Moving is a complicated process for anyone, let alone a recently bereaved 97-year-old. Fortunately for us, Rebekah made the moving process incredibly easy by helping us choose a lovely new apartment that fit my mother's needs and budget. She was so helpful and compassionate during the entire process, it is an immense relief to me to know my mother will continue ..."

"My parents moved into the Carp Commons in October of 2023. It was a major transition for them however, both Rebekah and Pat were so welcoming and went above and beyond to make them feel welcome. Both my mom and dad are very pleased with the care, maintenance, and attention to detail that all staff show towards the upkeep of Carp Commons. The dining room is bright and beautifully decorated for each sitting. The dining staff makes a concerted effort to get to know the residents and their culinar..."
