My Mom is one of the original Community Members at V!VA Oakville, moving in September 2019. The staff are all wonderful, friendly & caring. They're one big family. The Lifestyles Team organize fun & interesting activities, both within the building & outings that use the V!VA bus for transportation. Chef Rob (Executive Chef) never disappoints with his 5 star rated meals. The servers in the dining room remember the special requests of the Community Members and bring them without having to be asked. (2 teabags in the teapot; what kind of tea; no crackers with soup; warm the pie; extra whip cream; etc) We just celebrated my Mom's 90th birthday and every V!VA team member that was involved went above & beyond to make her day perfect. Frank Pantusa (Culinary Services Manager) worked with us for many weeks to plan this party & shared many wonderful ideas to help make sure things ran smoothly. He ensured everything was organized & worked very hard during the party, which was greatly appreciated. The meals that Chef Rob served were prepared to perfection. The presentation & taste of our delicious meals were thoroughly enjoyed by all 31 guests. From the hors d'oeuvres to dessert, everyone's taste buds were joyous. Chef Rob was a pleasure to work with during the planning stages, sharing his suggestions & expertise. The 2 servers that worked during Mom's party were top notch. Arlene & Maricar worked very hard, made sure everything was perfect & smiled all evening. I live out of province & stay with Mom in her suite when I visit. I am always made to feel welcome by both Community Members & V!VA Team Members. V!VA Oakville is my Mom's (& all Community Member's) home & everyone is treated as such, which is perfect! (I've included 1 photo from our dinner. It's the dessert, Eton Mess, prepared by Chef Rob.) V!VA Oakville is more than worthy of this 5 star review. Thank you V!VA Oakville for being so wonderful. Best Regards, Rosemary McDougall

Viva Oakville is a wonderful retirement community. The staff are friendly and always helpful. My in-laws have been very happy making Viva their home. It is always kept clean and there are lots of activities and entertainment. Suites are nicely designed and well equipped.
My name is Tonja Kristensen and I am writing on my mother’s behalf (Dorothy Kristensen- V!VA resident). We both feel that Viva Oakville is a wonderful place to live. It is a beautiful, well decorated building with a lovely garden. The staff and Residents are warm & welcoming. The meals are well prepared & delicious. In addition, there many activities, outings & musical performances for the residents to enjoy. We give it 5 star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I will begin by thanking Kerry McShane for being so kind and gracious with my mother and spending so much time showing us the entire place; Kerry explained everything and answered every concern. My Mom loved the place very much, and we had a beautiful dinner. After one hour of being there, my mom felt so comfortable with Kerry that she hugged Kerry when we left. My Mom is not the type to Hugh anyone. I was very impressed with the entire program and how things are being run. Thank you again, Kerry, for being a wonderful human being.
When my husband and I moved in four years ago it was an easy task because he loved it right from the start. Since his passing everyone has been so loving, helpful and compassionate. V!VA Oakville is a wonderful place to live.
