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 you. For example, our spacious suites include walk-in closets, because we appreciate the importance of storage 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 your grandchildren instead of heading over to the dining room. Plus, 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 espresso cabinets, 23" wide apartment size appliances & microwave (Independent Living suites only)
When you're eating well you're living well... and living well is what we're all about.
Featuring Jewish-style cuisine, our healthy menu options offer you delicious and nutritious homestyle meals made with fresh wholesome ingredients and mouth-watering flavour. Everything made in our kitchen is VIVAlicious, which means equal parts nutritious and delicious. Plus, we get to use all the fresh and organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown in our very own VIVA Victory Garden.
Our meals at VIVA Thornhill Woods are planned by our Red Seal certified executive chef. We do not serve shellfish or pork, keep separate dishes for meat and dairy, and all our meats are certified kosher.

I think we toured 10 other residences before selecting Viva. It was actually a pretty easy decision, as Viva stood out in so many ways. The main areas... read more are bright and always full of people and activities. The many food options at each meal was a great bonus (although I think I'd just have the blintzes every day). Mom's room is bright and cheery.
From the start, Wendy was another big part of our choice. I have always found her to be knowledgeable, supportive and helpful. She always went above and beyond to make sure that mom was happy. And of course - that great smile of hers.
Initially, mom did have some difficulty settling in to her new home, but Wendy and all the other staff were always there to help (both mom and me). It makes me so happy now to talk to mom and hear her say "I just love living here at Viva". Thanks to all the Viva staff for making that possible.

Our tour was so welcoming and a genuine opportunity to see what life would be like living at Viva Thornhill Woods. Wendy embodies the epitome of exceptional service and genuine care.
Mom has now comfortably settled into the Viva Life, where she enjoys daily warm greetings, forming new friendships, embraces fresh opportunities, and receives daily support from Wendy, coupled with the remarkable care and friendliness of the staff.

In summer of 2021 my mother in her 93rd year said to me, "I'm ready to move into a Seniors' home. I immediately began to research the homes in... read more the GTA. I narrowed my search down to three homes, shared my findings with mom and we both agreed on visiting the three homes. We started out with the home closest to my mom's surrounding and after visiting the 2nd home my mom felt she was satisfied with our meeting and with what the home had to offer therefore she would settle for the 2nd home. We however had the 3rd appointment which was to meet with Viva's representative, I suggested to my mom that we go since we had already booked the meeting. Both my mom and I are so happy we did, because she knew right away Viva was the place she wanted to call home.
Our experiences have been very positive from our first meeting to my mom moving in. Our contacts with staff members have always been responsive and there's always immediate attention to any query we might have. They've extended themselves to ensure my mother feels she's in a safe, friendly and responsible community. Their attention to the handling of COVID and its variant OMICRAN, according to Public Health guidelines has been remarkable. The place is clean, warm and inviting. Viva Thornhill Woods stand by their value of "Making Today Great".
I know where I want to live when it's my turn to look for Seniors' living.
A big thank you to the staff of Viva Thornhill Woods Retirement Community!
