Our Perspective
How we see VIVA Whitby Shores
Expect top-of-the-line luxury and comfort here, from spectacular external scenery to the spaciousness of your suite. Over its history, V!VA has been redefining what senior living means. This is another step forward. People in V!VA Communities expect — and receive — the very best, and that’s what you can expect here.
The most immediately striking thing about Whitby Shores is, of course, the vista of the Lake Ontario shorefront. There’s a waterfront park and yacht club here, and it’s safe to assume that this will entail an exciting life for residents. As indicated by the name of the company, you’ll find good living here.
One of the things you can look forward to is the variety of activities and interests you can indulge. One day to the next will be full of variety, happy surprises, and little moments of grace. The slate of activities here includes lectures, fitness classes, cooking demonstrations, wine-tasting events, and more. There are also outings to local shopping, the local race track, big league sports events, and art galleries or museums. V!VA makes every day as interesting as you want it to be. That means you can choose to head out with friends to the latest activity ... or maybe spend a quiet afternoon in your suite reading ... whatever you choose!

"Viva Whitby has been a welcoming place from the first day we visited, all the staff are friendly and take the time to treat everyone like family not just a client. Special shout out to Cheryl Andrews the Community Relations Manager for providing a very informative tour and follow-up from our first introduction to move in and a thank you to Chef Richard for always taking time at meal time to recognize and entertain my folks."Colleen Curry, resident
