Brandy Stinson – General Manager

Livita Centennial, Oshawa, Ontario

20+ years in the hospitality and senior living industry – joining the Centennial team in 2017.
I love my work at the Centennial as it allows me to make a positive impact on people’s
lives! Fun fact – I love to cook with my family and experiment with different foods and flavours.

  • 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.

  • I feel like this is my home. The people are friendly, and the staff are very 
    lovely and helpful.

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between a retirement home, a nursing home, and a long-term care home?

Yes, there is a difference. Retirement homes are typically intended for older adults who want to remain independent but can opt for various care services when needed. Long-term care homes, however, are also referred to as nursing homes. These are for older adults who need supervised care 24/7.

What is senior living?

Senior living refers to a lifestyle and housing option for older adults. It is usually an enclave or residence that allows older adults to age gracefully along with their peers. Senior living communities offer a range of programs and services that cater to the various needs of their residents.

How do I choose the right community in Oshawa?

Choosing the right community in Oshawa depends on your specific wants and needs. One of the things you need to know is what the community offers. Determine if their amenities, programs, and services fit your needs. You can also book a tour of the residence to get an actual feel for the environment.

How do I know that it is time to consider a senior living community?

There are different signs that can indicate it may be time to transition to senior living. One is a desire for more time to focus on what matters to you and wanting to downsize your living space. If you feel like you want to remain independent but still get the support you need, then it might be time to consider. Challenges or changes in health and safety may also be part of your decision.

What is the difference between a rental community and a buy-in community?

Rental communities are where you pay a monthly fee for independent living services and amenities. The cost also usually depends on the services you need or sign up for. Buy-in communities require a buy-in or upfront fee on top of your monthly fee. They offer more than one level of care, ideal for long-term stays.

When can I move into your retirement residence?

You can move into our retirement residence once you have complied with all the requirements. This includes a completed and approved application, and a physician's medical exam. You will also need to arrange a deposit to hold your space. Once done, you can choose your move-in date.

Does Livita offer alternative transportation for outings?

During outings and field trips, we usually have pre-arranged transportation services available. We have a shuttle that can ferry us as a group from one location to another. In general, however, there is plenty of alternative transportation available. This includes rideshare options, call-and-ride programs, volunteer drivers, and using public transportation.

Are there staff on duty at all times?

Yes, we always have a team member on duty. We have a 24-hour emergency call system in place. This ensures we can provide for our residents' needs at any time of the day. You or your loved one can be confident about their health and safety 24 hours a day.

What happens if a resident’s care needs increase?

There are a few things that can happen when a resident's care needs increase. Talk to the staff to arrange for specific a la carte services to support your increased needs. You may need to move into another community when the current one cannot fulfill your needs. Also, typically, when care needs increase, the fees increase as well. Ask us about continuing care options today.

Can I bring my car? Is there a fee?

Moving into a retirement community does not mean you have to give up your car. However, it is best to understand what it takes to keep one. Most retirement homes have carports where you can keep your vehicle. However, some may offer a fee, like a parking rental fee, to keep your car. Contact us to discuss what having a car at our residence entails.
