I really enjoy the activities here. I love to play scrabble, do crafts
and easy exercises. I love to go for walks everyday with my little

I would highly recommend Livita Retirement Residences As soon as you
enter Livita Retirement Residences, you will find yourself in a very
welcoming lobby. The recent renovations on the main floor, which include
a sitting area with a fireplace, as well as a bistro, are very inviting. The
apartments are spacious and well laid out. The best part of Livita
Retirement Residences is the staff! All of the staff, including housekeeping, kitchen, administration, and especially the PSW and nursing care staff have become like family. The attention to personal safety and well-being is highly apparent. During this uncertain time, I had full confidence in the goings on of Livita Retirement Residences.Peter N.
Bridge Street Retirement has everything one could want – location, a five minute walk to the market place, banks and the centre of downtown. You will find professional staff, second to none. I like living here and so would you.

Is it better to buy a house or choose a retirement home?

What is the average length of time someone stays in an Oshawa retirement home?
