A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
VIVA Thornhill Woods vs. Delmanor Northtown

VIVA THORNHILL WOODS

Thornhill Woods is ideal for seniors who have family in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Markham, and who want to improve their health and their happiness by living in a high quality environment, with excellent care. The hallmark of life here is the spacious suites and excellent dining, but the good living goes well beyond those features. For starters, there are movie nights in the onsite theatre, an onsite pub, and a café, all part of a thriving community where seniors get the companionship and care they deserve.

DELMANOR NORTHTOWN

This is a first-rate Toronto retirement home. Aside from the exceptional facilities, the care staff on hand is highly professional and sociable. Families of seniors who move here feel great relief at having found such well-rounded care. Delmanor's industry-leading reputation is built on the lifestyle they provide in places like Northtown.

VIVA THORNHILL WOODS

Our team member Denise visited Viva Thornhill Woods and was very happy to see an elegant community with warm and friendly staff to greet you. The lounge area invites you to grab a drink, sit down, and listen to the piano.

I recently visited a friend here. I was very impressed by every person on the staff whom I met. Each person was genuinely caring and professional. I enjoyed a lovely lunch served by attentive and friendly dining room staff. The food was delicious (especially the home-made soup) and so beautifully presented that I took a picture.

A couple of months ago my mom came to visit us for a month. We chose to host her at Viva since the facility was much more convenient and prepared for her (no stairs and no bathtub to climb). She not only enjoyed her stay and welcomed us with coffee in every opportunity we picked her up, but also made good friends who invited her to seat with them for lunch or dinner, even though she spoke little English. She enjoyed very much the food, the musical events and the quiet of her spacious room. We all enjoyed the swimming pool with her and felt welcome all the time.

V!VA is a first-class retirement community, supported by a first-class team. In particular, Wendy T, who serves as the Community Relations Manager, is exceptional and has helped make the transition for my parents into the community both a seamless and positive one. Thank you, V!VA, for taking such good care of my mom and dad!

Wendy Teperman, Community Relations Manager at Viva Thornhill Woods Retirement Resident is a beacon of warmth and support. Her unwavering dedication and genuine compassion supported my mother’s first step into the Viva Life! 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.

Life at VIVA Thornhill Woods is truly great! It's their philosophy… As a matter of fact, when you call, the first words out of the concierge are "Thank you for calling VIVA Thornhill Woods. How can I make your day great?” They truly strive to do this for their residents and their families. My mom likes participating in the activities. She really looks forward to going on outings and shopping ... Read more

DELMANOR NORTHTOWN

I've been here seven years. I like a lot of things, but mostly I like the fact we have a washer and dryer in the suite, and it's peaceful! We're looked after! We have a lady coming to clean the house once a week... This is my home! I'm quite happy here!

Kristina and her team are fantastic! The staff are all so kind and amazing, not to mention the delicious food from the chefs.

My father spent his final decade in the wonderful community and care of Delmanor. Bless you all.

Delmanor was home to my uncle for about 15 years. During this time the staff went above and beyond in helping to care for him and always make him feel at home. Tracy, Sabina, Tatiana, Arlene, the entire nursing staff, and the concierges were always reliable, friendly, and compassionate. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did.

I am beyond blessed to call Delmanor Northtown my home away from home. Over the last 5 years, I have had an opportunity to work with the most cohesive, compassionate, caring team that give 110% of themselves every day! The residents are incredible individuals who fill my days with programs, events, stories and most of all, their companionship and love. I can not think of a better place to work or a better place for our residents to be and stay engaged, active and live their best lives. Thank you to the amazing team and residents!
