You'll love the many events here, including Pancake Tuesdays, golf competitions, music events and more. The onsite pub and café are lively indoor hangouts where residents enjoy each other's company, and friendships grow. Golfers will love the Golf Simulator! Move here if you want to make your life suddenly better!
This is a beautiful Ottawa Region retirement setting, still very new, offering the best you can imagine in seniors' living. Chef-prepared dining, all new facilities, and a bevy of other luxuries are all important components of life here. Staff are compassionate and very involved with seniors, as many families and residents will attest to.
There's everything you might want here. The variety of exceptional features includes the V!VAlinks Golf Simulator, an indoor saltwater pool, and an onsite spa, complete with a resident massage therapist. The location is also hard to beat: close to the heart of Ottawa, but just far enough away from the busy downtown. On the west it's very accessible to the 416 (making it easy for family to visit), and to the east there is Stonebridge Golf Club and excellent walking paths along the scenic Rideau. To the north, there's all that central Ottawa offers: tourist sites, museums, Byward Market and other shopping.

"We are so happy that our Mother chose Viva! … Mom especially enjoys the fact that they have live music weekly. [She] is always in good spirits which has a lot to do with the surroundings and interactions. Their safety measures [during the COVID-19 quarantine] are beyond excellent and have kept us reassured. The keep our loved ones happy and safe!"

"Staff are so helpful, kind and compassionate. One Concierge saw my Mom was sad and tearful and she comforted her. I so appreciate the kindness my Mom receives from staff. It truly is a caring and loving team"

"I highly recommend Viva Barrhaven. My father stayed here for a couple of months while he recovered from a leg injury. [It was] a wonderful place to live or recover. ... After visiting a few retirement homes, I was surprised that it didn't cost more than the others."
