    Get To Know Us

    Emily de Winter – General Manager

    Livita Barrington, Barrie, Ontario

    12+ years in the senior living industry. I am blessed to work where I get to meet interesting people every day. I can’t imagine doing anything else! I am a travel-aholic! I have backpacked, lived, studied and
    volunteered abroad. I want my children to see the world and culture that surrounds us!

    • 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 
      dog Maggie. Having Maggie with me has been very good for my 
      health.
      Janet S.
    • The staff are friendly, and my room feels like home.
      Mary Ann C.
    • I love my room, it is perfect! It faces the courtyard with all the flowers, 
      birds and sun.
      Ann G.
    • I feel like this is my home. The people are friendly, and the staff are very 
      lovely and helpful.
      Annetta M.
    • 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.
