Our Perspective

How we see VIVA Thornhill Woods

Thornhill Woods is ideal for seniors who have family in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham, and who want to improve their health and their happiness by living in a high quality environment, with excellent care. The hallmark of life here is the spacious suites and excellent dining, but the good living goes well beyond those features. For starters, there are movie nights in the onsite theatre, an onsite pub, and a café, all part of a thriving community where seniors get the companionship and care they deserve.

VIVA's expertise in creating senior living experiences is on ample display here. It's a unique combination of vibrant independent living and diligent care. Assisted living includes care such as feeding, bathing, care with mobility, and more. The number of community members here makes it ideal to find an ample collection of new friends, while still being selective.

There are many signature features of living here. Perks! is a brightly lit café where you can sit and enjoy freshly baked cakes and sip delicious coffee or tea with friends. Pints! is the onsite pub where you can play some pool or watch TV with your in-house friends. Many people choose to exercise regularly, by working out in the wellness center, swimming in the saltwater pool, or joining the aqua fit class.

N Nabel, family member

"A couple of months ago my mom came to visit us for a month. We chose to host her at Viva since the facility was much more convenient and prepared for her (no stairs and no bathtub to climb). She not only enjoyed her stay and welcomed us with coffee in every opportunity we picked her up, but also made good friends who invited her to seat with them for lunch or dinner, even though she spoke little English. She enjoyed very much the food, the musical events and the quiet of her spacious room. We..."

Shael Weinreb, family member

"V!VA is a first-class retirement community, supported by a first-class team.
