We are so grateful to all of our residents and their families for making up our incredible Verve family. From coast to coast, you inspire us to do what we do, in turn striving to bring passion, purpose and fun into each one of your lives.
Practicing gratitude is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body; starting with a healthy mindset, we re-program our bodies to respond positively to our environment, and the ripple effect is infectious — a whole community that radiates positivity. Let’s continue to redefine aging by practicing an attitude of gratitude! Discover the many opportunities to #BeGRATEFUL at Verve.
Our residents had plenty to smile about this past month at various socials and other events coordinated by Verve to enrich the lives of those in our care through creativity and connection.

We are dedicated to lifelong learning, social connectivity, and creative expression as ways to enhance the lives of our seniors, which is why we’re proud to introduce a brand-new signature program to our Verve communities: DrumFIT! This exciting initiative is a Memory & Motion program designed for seniors to engage physically and socially through music. Using drumsticks and a yoga ball, either sitting or standing, this inclusive program encourages participation and social connection through a beloved medium—music! Discover more about the benefits of DrumFIT here.
May’s star ingredient: Rhubarb! This month’s Living Loving Local chef-inspired dining menu revolves around rhubarb. As a rich source of antioxidants, rhubarb stalks are also a great source of fibre, vitamin K (for strong bones!), and have been known to lower cholesterol.

It’s no secret that caring for loved ones can be difficult. When you aren’t close-by, new challenges arise. Read up on our tips for managing long-distance care on the blog now!
”The location and the beautiful, bright building set up to be interactive for the residents are bonuses to the overall experience of living at Carp Commons. The real benefit for my father is the staff. They listened to family recommendations and concerns, making time to respond and take action. A truly warm & caring staff, including the PSW’s and Kitchen staff, who’ve made his family feel he is really at home and well cared for. Now my father cuts our conversations short, as he has things to get to…activities, meeting friends, and great meals."
