    I was fortunate to enjoy a trial stay with V!VA Thornhill Woods while my home underwent repairs from a flood. The staff were fantastic and all knew my name within days. The facilities were terrific. I especially liked having the gym on site. I enjoyed playing pool and getting to know the other residents. The food was delicious too. Should I decide to make a permanent move to retirement living V!VA Thornhill Woods will be my next home.

    *PLEASE READ BEFORE “DONATING”* Rather than providing the family of a loved one who recently passed with respect and dignity, Jill (a staff member at Viva Thornhill Woods) decided to mislead my family into believing that the items left behind would be donated. It has become clear that they do not believe in donations. ESPECIALLY once you ask for a tax receipt! This donation very quickly became a gift and it was agreed-upon in writing at the beginning that it was to be donated. They lie! They are now not giving back the more expensive items that we wanted to donate to the community and to those in need. An absolutely horrible place to send your loved ones to, especially for their end of life care! Please do not hesitate to contact me directly for copies of emails and proof that this has been done! They will gladly be provided.

    I got to visit VIVA Thornhill Woods for the RHRA Resident Champion Award ceremony. I loved community feel and the warm atmosphere. I had the chance to go for a tour and was impressed by the diversity of spaces in the home - from the pub and cafe, to the horticulture room and theatre, to the pool and gym.
