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 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 grandchildren 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
Neutral suite finishes to let your personal style shine
Emergency call button system

Salon
With the soothing colours and delightful finishes, the only thing that looks better in our Salon is that dynamite haircut and stunning manicure you just received. (Have another glass of cucumber water while you're at it!)
V!VAfit Strength & Stretch Studios
Featuring easy-to-use, state-of-the-art fitness equipment specifically designed for older adults, our V!VAfit studios are a great place for our group classes too!
