Be Empowered for your best year yet

From inclusive fitness classes to our signature Living Loving Local dining menu and an active social calendar, our signature programs are dedicated to seniors living an active, fulfilling and empowering life.

Meet me at the MoMA
Life enrichment is crucial to keeping the mind strong. We empower our residents with such signature programs as Meet Me at the MoMA, which utilizes art from the Museum of Modern Art as part of a lecture series while residents learn to work in different mediums and engage in art history conversations.

Meet Me at the MoMA is designed to nurture creativity and self-expression through an inclusive and safe environment. Discussions help create a strong sense of identity as residents engage with the program, while making the art itself is beneficial to keep fine motor skills sharp, as well as help relax residents as a way of reducing anxiety.

Just one of the many ways Verve seeks to empower our seniors!

“Our Living Loving Local program has been a big success. Our Chefs love to showcase local growers and products. Living Loving Local inspires our Chefs to elevate the cuisine at our homes. Residents love that we focus on fresh, in-season produce and meat. Personally, I find it hard not to sample too much of the food, it is so good!”

 

Bruce Schell, Food & Beverage Manager, Western Canada

Resident Spotlight

“There are a number of us here who have written our memoirs and other books. So, we put our heads together and thought this might be a nice way of sharing our lives and get to know each other… They’re very open to new ideas here and we're happy with that.”
