VIVA Barrhaven Retirement Community

08/26/2025

At V!VA Retirement Communities, we’re proud to redefine what retirement living truly means. Our recent blog post—“Why More Seniors Are Trading Homeownership for Resort-Style Retirement Community Living”—dives into the growing appeal of resort-style retirement life and why it’s making such a compelling choice for so many.

What sets V!VA apart?

Resort-like comforts: Think beautifully landscaped spaces, social lounges, live entertainment, and chef-curated meals—every day feels like a getaway.

Effortless living: From housekeeping to maintenance and dining—all taken care of—so residents can relax and engage with life, not chores.

Community, connection & well-being: With vibrant social calendars, wellness programs, and built-in friendships, our residents thrive in mind, body, and spirit.

Curious about what this lifestyle looks like in action? Dive into the full blog for insights here https://loom.ly/JBYtuwE or get in touch to schedule a tour at one of our vibrant communities.

More seniors are leaving homeownership behind for resort-style living in a retirement community that offers comfort, convenience and a vibrant social life.

🌟 A heartfelt thank you to Dorothy for sharing such kind words about her mom’s experience at V!VA Mississauga! 🌟

"Thank you V!VA for giving our mom back to us. Mom has been living at V!VA for 10 months now, and I cannot express what a difference it has made. She is thriving. Seeing her laughing, dancing and enjoying her new lifestyle at V!VA is truly priceless!

The food and dining service is top notch. We have looked at several seniors residences, none can compare to V!VA — from the moment we walked in for our tour, it felt like home!”
