What residents and their loved ones say about Livita Queens Avenue Retirement Residence in reviews.

Noella Rutley, resident

"I have lived here for 12 years and it certainly feels like home. Everyone, management, staff—everyone is doing an exceptional job of making it so. Helpful, courteous, and friendly, makes you feel secure and comfortable... much appreciated by this 100-year-old."

Lilia Butryn, family member

"My aunt and uncle are so happy with their decision to move into Queens Avenue Retirement Centre. Every week I go for a visit and all the staff members are so kind and helpful. Keep up the excellent work you do each day."

Marie Fournier, family member

"Yesterday, my mother celebrated 20 years at Queens Avenue Retirement Residence. When she first arrived, there were few residents that had mobility issues. Since then it has been amazing to see the staff and management adapt to an aging population. Most recently the staff had to adapt to caring for their residents during a pandemic. They have done so beautifully. My family is thankful to have found this jewel of a place and are so grateful for the level of care afforded to our mom. "
