I manage the Pet Visiting Program at the HBSPCA and our visits to Villa Italia are truly incredible. We are so grateful for Melissa and Isabella for coordinating our dedicated volunteers and their lovely animals. Thank you for creating a safe and supportive space for our vulnerable community members.

My father was only at Villa Italia for 8 months before his unexpected passing, I only wish he had more time there. The staff went out of their way to make him feel at home. Lucy at the front desk would greet him every morning with the paper. Melissa and Emily would keep him busy with daily activities. Kim and her wonderful nursing team would check in on him when needed and keep me informed of any concerns that they may have. Danica always has a smile on her and makes you feel welcomed when you first get there. I can't say enough for Lisa whom truly helped me deal with the loss of my father and made things better. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff at Villa Italia for the exceptional care they provided to my grandma for 10 years. During my grandma's time there Management had to make some tough decisions especially during COVID 19. They always did so with the residents utmost safety being the main priority. The staff became a second family to my grandma treating her with love, dignity and compassion. Each of you hold a special place in my grandma's heart. We are so thankful to you all. Love The Porter Family
