About Us

Living Livita!

We believe senior living should be more than just comfortable – it should be vibrant. We’re committed to reimagining the old ways of senior living, ensuring our residents not only enjoy life but truly live it to the fullest.

Our approach goes beyond the ordinary. Every day, we challenge the status quo and work to create an environment where seniors thrive, staying active, engaged, and connected.

Who Are We?

Rydel Management Inc. manages multiple residential buildings in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and more recently under Livita Retirement Residences. We have become Ontario’s newest hub for vibrant seniors living – now operating retirement communities in Barrie, Belleville, Oakville, Oshawa, and Pickering.
At Livita, we take pride in providing exceptional service to both our existing and new residents, guided by three key principles:

Residents First : Our residents and their families are at the heart of everything we do. Whether a team member works in housekeeping, dietary, enhanced care, or maintenance, we all share a common goal: putting residents first. We connect with them in meaningful ways to ensure their needs are met with care and compassion.
Respect in the Workplace : We believe a positive workplace leads to great results. When we respect and trust each other, we create an environment where everyone can thrive. Courtesy and open communication are at the core of our work culture.
Teamwork : Collaboration is key to our success. By working together, we constantly learn and improve. Teamwork encourages us to focus on others, helping us enhance our services and continuously grow.

This is how we live by the Livita philosophy – embracing each day with purpose and passion.

Livita Careers

At Livita, we believe that a career in senior living is more than a job – it’s a chance to make a real difference. Our team members are empowered to tackle the unique challenges of senior living, with a strong focus on collaboration and a “family first” approach.

Working together to nurture our community is what makes a career at Livita so fulfilling.
Through meaningful interactions with our residents, our team gains the opportunity to learn more from their experiences and be inspired by their stories.

At the heart of everything we do is our people. Livita is home to a passionate, dedicated team who care deeply about our residents and the impact they have on the community. If you want to join our fun-loving, supportive team, explore our Current Opportunities today!

Our Response to COVID-19

The safety and health of our community members, their families, and our team members is our highest priority.

Given the elevated risk that COVID-19 presents to older adults, we are committed to full transparency in response to this ongoing situation. We closely monitor developments and recommendations about the pandemic through official federal and provincial sources, including Public Health, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Retirement Home Regulatory Authority (RHRA), the Ministry of Seniors and Accessibility, and the Ontario Retirement Communities Association (ORCA).

Below is a summary of the latest protocols we’ve implemented to help protect our residents and staff:

COVID Protocols

Hairdresser and Spa Services: These services are available and open where applicable.
Residential Outings: Residents are free to leave for same-day or overnight visits.
Masks Required: All Livita staff and visitors are required to wear masks at all times to protect our residents, regardless of whether the home is in outbreak or not.
Visitor Wellness: Visitors are always welcome, but if you are not feeling well, we ask that you stay home.
Testing: If you're unsure of your symptoms, we may request a rapid COVID-19 test to ensure everyone’s safety.

Our People

Our Team Members share a passion for making extraordinary things happen every day!

With over 15 years of experience in the senior healthcare industry, I have sincerely enjoyed supporting our seniors and look forward to many more rewarding experiences with them! It is with honour that I get to help seniors on a daily basis; I love to hear all their great stories and becoming a part of their lives. In my spare time, I engage in boating and swimming on beautiful Georgian Bay!

20+ years at Bridge Street. I love my work because our residents have so much character and life experiences to share. Hailing from the Maritimes, I know good hospitality and the true appreciation of a foot-thumping fiddle song!

My name is Lori Morgan, and I am the General Manager of Livita Centennial Retirement Residence, where our philosophy is Live Balanced, Live Better. I joined the Centennial team in the Spring of 2021. I have 35+ years in customer service and 16+ years of experience in the healthcare industry. I truly enjoy working alongside the Livita Centennial team, as it allows me to make a positive impact on our residents’ lives. If you are looking for a warm and welcoming community for yourself, or a loved one, I am confident that Livita Centennial is the perfect place to call home! As one of our happy residents describes his new life here with us: "It feels just like home but with company". I look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to Livita Centennial Retirement Residence!

My name is Anita Gathercole, and I am the General Manager at Livita Parkway Retirement Residence. I hold a degree in Business Management with a major in Marketing.
