In the COMMUNITY.

When it comes to location, it doesn’t get much better than this. Located across from the Pickering Town Centre mall, the Pickering Recreation Complex, a medical centre and more, VIVA Pickering is literally in the centre of it all! Nestled alongside a quaint residential neighbourhood and minutes from the town’s prettiest parks, VIVA Pickering is ideally situated for you to be as busy – or as quiet – as you want.

Our SUITES.

Because you deserve the suite life.

Beautiful. Spacious. Convenient. Safe.

When we design our suites, we take out time to think about what is most important to our Community Members. For example, our spacious suites include walk-in closets because we appreciate how important storage is when moving from a larger home. Our kitchenettes feature 23" wide apartment size appliances instead of smaller bar-fridge models because we know that sometimes you just want to prepare a snack for the grandkids instead of heading over to the dining room. Our bathrooms feature a walk-in shower with a built-in seat and safety bars so you can bathe with ease.

All suites include the following:

Seasonal personal control of heating and air conditioning
Kitchenette with 23" wide apartment size appliances and microwave (Independent Living suites only)
Private bathroom with sit-in shower and safety bars
Spacious walk-in closet
Large windows with window treatments included
Broadloom in the living room and bedroom
Emergency call button system

In their own WORDS.

What our Community Members are saying.

I love the fact that I can book the V!VAcraft Kitchen and have Community Members come in and taste test my baking. Some of them will stay and talk about their past, it is like having a dinner party where everyone gathers in the kitchen. Plus, I have gotten a couple of great recipes from them.

- Hope, Daughter of V!VA Community Member

Not only are the Community Members really friendly, but the Team Members at V!VA are amazing as well. Being around such positive and active people makes V!VA a great place to be, especially with the wonderful ambiance of the unique interior and exterior. I love all the variety of activities, especially the V!VAfitprogram. It is so much fun!

- Yuki, V!VA Community Member

It never occurred to me to move into a retirement community until I went for a tour at V!VA. Now that I have been a Community Member here for almost a year, I have become friends with wonderful people, been fed...
