VIVA Thornhill Woods Retirement Community

About VIVA Thornhill Woods Retirement Community

Imagine starting your morning with fresh coffee at a cozy bistro, then spending your afternoon by a warm saltwater pool or catching a film in a private theatre. That is the kind of daily life residents enjoy at VIVA Thornhill Woods Retirement Community, located at 9700 Bathurst Street in Maple, Ontario. This thoughtfully designed retirement community blends comfort, elegance, and genuine hospitality to create a place where seniors can thrive on their own terms.

Living Options and Care Levels

VIVA Thornhill Woods offers several care options to meet residents at different stages of their journey. Independent living is designed for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but want the freedom that comes with having meals, housekeeping, and a full calendar of activities taken care of for them. It is a lifestyle choice as much as a care choice, giving residents more time to focus on what they enjoy. Assisted living provides additional day-to-day support for those who need help with personal care or other tasks, while still preserving as much independence as possible. For families navigating a short-term need, such as recovery after a hospital stay or a caregiver taking a temporary break, respite care offers a safe and welcoming short-stay option within the same community. All of these options are housed within a registered retirement home, meaning residents benefit from the oversight and standards that designation provides.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Daily life at VIVA Thornhill Woods is shaped by an abundance of thoughtfully curated amenities that make every day feel full of possibility.

Beyond dining, the wellness and recreational options are genuinely impressive. The saltwater pool offers a gentle, soothing swim experience that is easy on the body, while the fitness and wellness centre supports residents in staying active on their own terms. Fitness classes add structure and motivation for those who appreciate guided activity. The spa and hair salon offer a place to relax and feel pampered, and therapy services are available for those seeking massage or rejuvenating treatments. For residents who love to stay mentally engaged, a dedicated games and brain activity space, a library, and a technology centre with computer access provide plenty of stimulation. Movie lovers will appreciate the on-site theatre complete with the full cinema experience. Those with a passion for nature and gardening can enjoy the indoor horticulture space, a community garden with raised planters, and beautiful outdoor terraces and gardens. Excursions and shopping trips bring the outside world in regularly, while on-site vendors and a concierge available around the clock mean that everyday needs are handled with ease.
