Comfort Life Reviews: V!VA Whitby Shores

A vibrant new life on the shores of Lake Ontario

At Comfort Life, we’ve come to expect great things from V!VA, having worked with them for nearly 20 years. Whitby seniors should be excited when this company is breaking new ground on the shores of Lake Ontario. V!VA has a penchant for creating vibrant communities where seniors discover a life full of new possibilities and interests.

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 inside the community. 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 — daily living, where one day to the next is full of variety, happy surprises and little moments of grace. The slate of activities here includes lectures on varied interests, 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 daily outing ... maybe spend a quiet afternoon in your suite reading ... whatever you choose!

My mother recently stayed in respite care at VIVA Whitby Shores following her knee replacement surgery. She was very pleased with her experience; the staff here are incredible!!
