  • You'll love it at Taunton Mills if you miss that old small town feeling of yesteryear and the easy friendliness that fostered. There's also a wide variety of activities to choose from, including exercising with friends, reading in the library, horseshoes, movie nights, or just hanging out on the patio in the summer. Onsite pampering includes a beauty salon and barber shop.
  • When you have friends who you chat, laugh with, talk with... that is true happiness.

Trenton, Ontario
     

  • This community is ideal for Belleville-Trenton seniors (and others in Quinte West) who want a place close to home, but also a destination for seniors from the GTA who want to settle further out of Toronto closer to family east of the city. You've worked hard all your life to be successful, now it's time to treat yourself to luxury in a comfortable setting.
  • The staff is like extended family. My dad has deep respect for them and so do I.

  • Adult children of community members here appreciate the depth of understanding that staff develop for seniors in their care. The staff here is highly praised for their compassion and attention to detail. Care is focused on support and maintaining the dignity of people in care. The safety and security of knowing that parents are well looked after allows you to go home at the end of a visit feeling stress-free, knowing that parents are in good hands. You'll be pleased with how they are able to take time out of their busy day to deal with any deeper questions you have.

  • One of the trademarks of this and other Verve Senior Living communities is the careful attention staff give residents.

  • Lynde Creek Manor has everything you love about luxury cruises — sparkling interiors, bountiful activities, a group of interesting peers with the same background and interests. Of course, it’s even better than that, because it’s on land, and it’s your everyday life. On top of that, it’s located in Lynde Creek Village, an adult lifestyle community filled with 55 plus couples and singles. You’re surrounded by a big community of people like you at this Whitby gem.

  • As you drive up to Livita Centennial Retirement Residence, you’ll be impressed by the neatness and the clean contemporary look of the building.

It’s immediately spacious and comfortable. If those things make a nice first impression, what really really matters is how residents live well here.

  • Livita’s Parkway Retirement Residence puts the focus on fun and freedom. You liberate yourself from all the tiring aspects of home ownership or condo living – especially loneliness – and live in a community of friends enjoying the freedom of their golden years and continuing to grow. It’s a smaller, more intimate boutique-style community, set in a beautiful, welcoming, mid-rise building, with friendly, helpful staff.
