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
Floor-to-ceiling windows with window treatments included
Neutral suite finishes allowing your personal style to shine.
Broadloom in the living room and bedroom

My mom became a resident of the Viva Whitby Shores Retirement community in March 2022. My mom agrees moving to the Viva Whitby Shores Retirement Community has been ... read more a very positive step her and increased her quality of life.
The entire experience has been excellent. The facility is clean and bright and is in a great location. The suites are well sized and designed. The facility has a pub, vivaplex, swimming pool, hair and nail salon, craft kitchen, golf simulator and a horticultural area. Lots to do. The dining room provides a variety of good menu options. There is a Perks Cafe providing drinks and snacks throughout the day.
The residents are great and my mom enjoys socializing with them all. All the residents are friendly and there is great social interaction between all the residents and staff.
All the staff are awesome. My mother has never been able to say enough good things about the staff of Viva Whitby Shores. They are all friendly, helpful, courteous and do all they can to ensure all the residents (including my mom) have a safe and enjoyable time. There are activities scheduled each day for the residents to attend. There is so much choice for the residents to get involved in. My mom really enjoys attending the singing and dancing shows that occur.
This has been a very positive experience for my mom. After living on her own for 5 years following my dads passing, this has certainly rejuvenated her and she wishes she had done this a little sooner.
If you are looking for a retirement home in Whitby, you have to check out Viva Whitby Shores. You will not be disappointed.

Upon our recent experience at viva Whitby shores we cannot say enough positive comments that reflect the enthusiasm and care that each employee showed us. Our mother has lived in... read more the same house for 53 years with 23 of those on her own. We thought she was never going to leave giving us 6 siblings concern for her well being. Mom is now in her 2nd month living at viva and she just loves it. We couldn’t be happier for her. Thanks viva

We moved my mother in November. The experience has exceeded our expectations. Everyone is greeted with a smile. The friendly and genuine attention displayed to my mother, and all... read more “community members” is very special. The food is amazing (I have eaten there twice) with a wide variety of choices and daily features. This was definitely the right decision and fit for her. My mother has blossomed since her time at VIVA.

My mother moved into Whitby Shores in June 2020. Given the Covid pandemic there were understandably a few restrictions but the staff have been tremendous at welcoming her and ensuring... read more she settled in quickly. They are truly thoughtful and caring!
Shortly after Mom moved in, she had a few larger items that needed to be brought up to her suite. Understandably no family members are allowed into the suites at this time for covid health &safety reasons but the staff have been very helpful and accommodating and making this happen. I would especially like to give a shout out to Cam, the maintenance director who has been incredibly kind and thoughtful.
If you are considering a retirement community I would highly recommend that you visit Viva Whitby Shores and give them an opportunity to introduce you to what they have to offer.
