One-to-one comparison

SIFTON - ERINVIEW

Erinview's new building, opened in 2019, offers spaciousness throughout. It's a completely new living environment surrounded by beautiful older homes on tree-lined streets. Ideal for families in Mississauga, Milton, Oakville and elsewhere in the west GTA, the Erinview offers a uniquely homey atmosphere. That feeling comes straight from the top, Sifton being family-run, focused on traditional values. The result here is a coziness to the place, combined with excellent care.

You can expect the very best in senior living here, in a cozy community on the shores of Lake Ontario, nestled in Mississauga. A full continuum of care, from independent living to memory care makes it a worthy destination for senior couples with different care needs, from throughout the Peel Region and the western GTA.

Before I moved into the Erinview, I lived here in Mississauga, just a few streets over from the Residence. We started searching for a retirment living option when my husband began developing Alzheimer's and taking care of him on my own started to get too difficult. My children suggested that it may be best to live somewhere where there was the option to have certain care and services provided; and they took it upon themselves to find us a place, sell the house, pack us up and help us relocate. Given that we lived so close by, I spent many years driving by the building and seeing it from only its exterior. One day while out for lunch with my daughter-in-laws, they brought me into The Erinview for a tour. I walked in and had a great feeling right from the start. It felt comfortable, spacious; my gut was telling me this was it. The most important thing was to be someplace welcoming and inviting, and still have the space to keep certain pieces and memorabilia that would have been difficult to part with. I listened to my gut upon walking through those doors the very first time, and it spoke to me that this place was to become our new home. My suite has the right amount of space for the items that I wanted to keep, and it's the perfect size to display all my travel items and family photos proudly. The best piece of advice that I have for someone searching for a retirement residence would be to listen to their gut and follow that feeling. One of the things that surprised me what the cost of living in a retirement residence and I wished I had known sooner: I never have to cook again or make long grocery trips. I also love socials and entertainment programs such as music performances - they are my favourite. I also really enjoy going on the outings, especially shopping! My lovely suite has the right amount of space for the items that I wanted to keep and it's the perfect size to display all my travel items and family photos proudly!

Wonderfully refreshing to see beautiful people enjoying [every day] at Erinview.

I like the exercise programs very much. I think it's necessary. I try to go at least three times a week, sometimes four times a week. It's nice, too, here, you can go out for a walk, the streets in the neighborhood have lots of nice gardens.

We are approaching our first year of residency at The Shores after spending the last 22 years permanently living in Naples, Florida. After many hours searching on the internet and several days visiting retirement homes in southern Ontario, we chose The Shores at 270 Lakeshore Road West. Due to COVID and the ongoing construction, we were not able to see the independent living units when we visited and had to choose from the layouts. Although a difficult decision, we were very impressed with the helpful and knowledgeable staff, the detailed information presented, and the excellent layouts of the 2 buildings – independent living and the attached care facility. Another important item was that the project was being put together by Verve Senior Living, a Canadian Company with lots of experience in senior living with units throughout Canada, especially in Ontario. We were looking for independent living, but having access to a next-door care facility, if required in the future, was very important to both of us. All of our expectations were met or exceeded by the wonderful staff, the excellent construction, the spacious room layouts, the delicious meals, and the planned activities. We could not have made a better decision of making The Shores our new home.

This is our chosen home for life.

I am looking forward to moving from the Verve Residence in Port Credit to their new community ,The Shores of Pt Credit just a few blocks further west. The same great geographic location by the shores of Lake Ontario and the pleasant downtown area of Pt Credit with convenient shopping, restaurants. parklands and recreational facilities of the historic Credit river entering Lake Ontario. We anticipate the excellent services we enjoy at our current Verve Facility will continue and probably be even expanded with their state-of-the-art community. Of importance to us, as a couple, is the existence of the Wellness Services and Assisted Living and Memory Care Households that would allow us to live in the same building with extended care as we age together in the same community that offers a high quality of life for senior citizens.
