Our Perspective
How we see Port Credit Residences - Verve Senior Living
Innovation and newness are a hallmark of life at Port Credit Residences. This was one of the first GTA communities to employ the Brain Gym program, which helps train seniors in improving their memory and handling stress. The program even throws in some physical exercise. The availability of the community's nurse practitioner was also a Toronto first, when the building opened in 2011. Visiting "therapy dogs" are one more aspect of life at Port Credit Residences that make this community stand out.
Walking distance (for those who are able) from the shores of Lake Ontario, Port Credit Residences offers a very modern and contemporary take on senior care. Inside, the décor is very modern and contemporary, working shades of brown, taupe, blue, and teal, while people also enjoy the proximity to the lakefront and the spectacular views afforded.
While location is important, care and community make the Residences extra special. There are warm gathering places throughout the building, from an open-concept piano room to the ultra-modern, woodgrain-interior dining room. One of the many popular places within the community is the indoor pool. There are aquafit classes and several types of therapy available in the pool. It's also equipped with a ramp entrance, one of many accessible features you'll find throughout the Residences. There are a variety of facets to care here, notably, a nurse practitioner onsite five days a week and on call around the clock. The nurse practitioner oversees all health needs of residents, ranging from administering blood tests to working with available doctors.

"Port Credit Residences has been life-changing for our family. My mom is hard to get on the phone because she is always attending an event, an exercise class, a painting class, going to the theatre to watch a movie, playing Mexican train - she is SO busy!!! And most importantly, she is so happy. Which means we are too. We attended the Mother's Day Brunch, and I am still full! What a delicious meal and obviously carefully considered and prepared.
