Message from our Founder, David Choo

Simply put, Alavida Lifestyles is about authenticity; there is passion and genuine care in everything we do, from the service and food, to the buildings and amenities. My goal is to provide an active, vibrant lifestyle for the retirement community, and I want to bring resort-style living to the city you call home. We are listening to our seniors, we understand what they are looking for, and we adapt – this is why Alavida Lifestyles is the best retirement community in Ottawa.
