Medical Stays in Toronto: What You Need to Know

July 20, 2024

If you are traveling for medical treatment – it can be a stressful experience.

Unlike traveling for a vacation, when you travel for medical stays in Toronto you may need to stay for awhile and you may be in some state of discomfort. This is why having a comfortable place to say is so important.

The short term, furnished apartments at The Livmore provide a convenient environment where you can rest and feel at home – which will help aid you in your recovery during medical stays in Toronto.

Toronto’s Medical System

Canada has a publicly funded, private provided healthcare system. Public Health Insurance is handled at a provincial level and when you go to see a doctor, it is covered by the taxes you pay.

This health-care system has an excellent reputation around the world and many international tourists visit to seek out treatment in high quality private clinics. In addition to the many robust public health facilities in Toronto, there are also a collection of high end clinics that offer treatment from doctors and specialist staff. (Here’s a guide to the best and worst hospitals in Toronto, from local website blogTO.)

Whether you’re coming to Toronto for a necessary operation, an examination or a cosmetic procedure, you’ll find the medical care in this city top notch.

Priorities for Your Medical Stay

When it comes to planning for a medical-related trip to Toronto, the following considerations will need your attention:

Cutting Down on Expenses

Medical treatments are a large expense, so anything you can do to save money in other departments is desirable. A short term rental offers better value compared to a hotel, so you can cut costs here.

Cooking For Yourself

When you are recovering from a surgery or an illness, you might need to adjust your diet. Also, you might not feel like dining out in a restaurant every night. Having your own kitchen allows you to prepare the food that suits your needs – in the privacy of your home away from home.

A Home-Like Atmosphere

It’s hard to relax fully in a hotel room, as it doesn’t give you the feeling of being at home.

Longer-Term Stay Options

Chances are, if you are visiting Toronto for medical reasons, you might need to stay for awhile as you recover. Furnished apartments offer longer term rental options, so you can take your time.

Necessary Medications

Make sure that you have a prescription for all medications that you will need to carry you through the duration of your stay – including painkillers and antibiotics. If you need to stock up, there are many pharmacies located nearby in downtown Toronto.

Friends and Family

Recovering from an operation or an illness is much easier when you have loved ones around to support you. Staying in a furnished apartment with multiple bedrooms allows you to bring companions along who can assist.

5 Ways You Can Stay Productive While Working Remotely

June 3, 2024

working from short-term rentals in toronto

Whether you’re working from home as a result of the lockdown across Toronto, or you have just started a new remote job, adjusting to life without an office can be trickier than you initially imagined.

While the idea of rolling out of bed at 8:20 a.m. and starting work at 8:30 a.m. sounds like a dream come true to many, after a few days or weeks of remote working, you may find yourself struggling to stay productive.

Here are 5 Ways You Can Stay Productive While Working Remotely

1. Schedule Breaks in Your Day

If you’re struggling to get work done from a remote location, you may think that adding more breaks to your day would be counterproductive. However, studies have shown that carefully scheduled work breaks can improve the quality of the work you produce.

The Pomodoro Technique is a pretty extreme, regimented version of this concept. In this technique, you. Break your day into 25-minute work periods separated by 5-minute breaks. After four rounds, you will get a longer break of 15 to 20 minutes.

While you may find this structure a bit too intense, it’s still helpful to schedule in breaks. This way, your day will feel more purposeful. Because you have set break times, you’ll stop feeling aimless as you work. Instead, you’ll begin working towards mini-deadlines throughout the day.

2. Set Up a Remote Working “Office” in Your Home

Whether you’re working at home, or you’re staying and working in one of our downtown Toronto apartments, it’s inevitable that your workspace and your living space will somewhat overlap. Many remote workers make the mistake of getting a little too comfortable when working at home. While you may love the idea of grabbing your laptop and typing away while still in bed, this can be a seriously unproductive setup.

In order to trick the mind into feeling productive, you need to feel like you are in a work environment. Set up a well-lit, organized desk in your home that will serve as your office. Be vigilant about using this area for work and only for work. This way, your muscle memory will get in the habit of treating this home office as a special place of productivity, and you should find it easier to get stuff done.

3. Turn Off Your Phone

The modern world is filled with constant distractions — and most of them originate from our smartphone devices. In 2017, a shocking study revealed that Americans tend to check their phones once every 12 minutes on average. No wonder we find it so hard to concentrate and keep our levels of productivity up!

To keep your mind focused on what you’re doing, remove this major distraction by turning off your device, or, even better, by sticking it in a drawer. This way, you won’t be tempted to absent-mindedly open Twitter or Instagram every few minutes throughout the day.

4. Use Video Conferencing to Maintain Contact With Colleagues

If you’re used to working in a close-knit team, you may be finding remote working conditions pretty tricky. Working alongside colleagues can help us to feel inspired and motivated. When we get stuck, we can bounce around ideas; when we get bored, we can have a quick chat, and then get back to it.

In order to maintain a sense of teamwork and community, try to schedule a few Zoom sessions a week with your colleagues. This will break up the monotony of at-home working, plus, it will give you a much-needed boost in energy so that you can finish off your week with high levels of productivity.

5. Get Outside

When we commute to an office every day, we are forced to spend at least a few minutes in the fresh air. However, many remote workers find that they can go days on end without seeing the sun. Aside from the dangers of developing vitamin D definitely, a lack of outdoor time can be pretty stifling for the mind.

Try to find time to get outside for a daily walk. The fresh air and change of scenery can help you to rethink problems, while the exercise will boost your energy levels for the rest of the day.

Our downtown Toronto apartments are all perfectly situated near some of the city’s best parks so that you can step out your door for a quick stroll, and find yourself in a green oasis in just a few short minutes.

Executive Suites in Mississauga: Are They Toronto’s Next Hotspot?

February 6, 2024

Short-term rentals are the best-hidden secret for vacationers, remote workers, and traveling businessmen and women. You can stay in great rentals, thoroughly- cleaned and furnished for your most immediate needs, while you stay in Mississauga, a great city and part of the Greater Toronto Area.

A cut above our other short-term rentals, we have executive suites available for traveling businessmen or women.

Whether you need to stay in town a few months to oversee a merger or want to vacation between dealings at the office, we have the perfect executive suite for you in Mississauga.

Do You Need an Executive Suite?

Are you an executive? Then, yes. Seriously though, if you are staying at one of our short-term rentals for work purposes, we recommend that you choose an executive suite. These suites, and the amenities in them, will help you relax and prepare for the busy workdays you have ahead of you.

Similar to flying in first-class rather than economy so you can rest before a big meeting, staying in an executive suite so you can perform your best where it counts, is the best strategy for success.

We have executive suites near the financial district, or you can opt for an executive suite located in a quieter location a bit farther away.

Why You Will Love Our Executive Suites

Our executive suites in Mississauga are located in prime Mississauga neighborhoods, featuring luxurious amenities and a contemporary, furnished interior decoration.

With over 20 locations spread over the Greater Toronto Area, you can be as close to the city’s hustle and bustle as you want or the Toronto suburbs’ coziness and quiet.

We have suites available of any size, from one-bedroom executive suites to 3-bedroom townhomes, perfect for a corporate family vacation.

The Benefits of Executive Suites in Mississauga

Executive suites also offer support from building staff. Standard DelSuites amenities include:

A state of the art entertainment system (television, cable package, DVD/CD players)
Professionally-cleaned and sanitized interiors
Spare linens
Bathroom products and toiletries
24-hour security
Secure parking in a safe location
in-house or nearby recreational facilities (depending on your activity preferences)
A full cooking suite (fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher)

All these amenities and more can be yours. Executive suites are a cut above, so you are always getting excellent service for a great price.

Executive suites also offer business-centric advantages. They are often either deliberately set up for business or are amenable to added office space. With DelSuites, you can:

Host meetings
Video conference
Catch up on office work
Use a WiFi connection
Meet with local clients
Stay in touch with free local and North American long-distance calling
And much more

It is not all work and no play, though. Executive suites also offer eating areas, sleeping areas, and lounging/recreational areas. If you rent a large area, perhaps a 3-bedroom condo or townhome for your 30+ day stay, you can quite literally cordon off entire sections of a home-based on your corporate needs.

Mississauga Offers Great Attractions and Events to Check Out On Your Stay

Although the pandemic has shuttered some attractions and stopped some events from occurring, there is still a lot you can do and experience in Mississauga while still wearing a mask, keeping your distance from others, and following other public health guidelines. You can still:

Visit Celebration Square
Check out the Civic Centre
Take an art class
Play a round of golf
Take a boat trip to the marina
Experience Meadowvale Theatre
Visit the Bradley Museum
Enjoy Paramount Fine Foods Centre

In Mississauga and the Greater Toronto Area by extension, there is always something happening.

You can also stay inside. You can also take advantage of virtual entertainment options with your full-furnished entertainment system. Watch the new Netflix episode or movie, listen to the classics with your state-of-the-art sound system, or just relax by watching cable television.

The DelSuites Executive Difference

At DelSuites, we offer premium living staycations to prospective clients. As an executive, you need a prime rental for short-term availability at the best location possible for your needs.

We can offer that. Staying in an executive suite may make all the difference at work. You can view all available Mississauga executive suites on our website or contact us directly for more details on our current vacancies.

5 Reasons to Live in Midtown Toronto

January 3, 2024

Midtown, Toronto is one of the most vibrant and exciting neighborhoods in the city.

There’s a lot to love about this part of the city, including nightlife, great shopping, entertainment, dining and many other essentials. Plus, when you live in Midtown Toronto there’s always something new happening and a full calendar of festivals and events.

Here are some of the reasons why you should live in Midtown Toronto:

1. It’s Accessible Via Public Transport

When you live in Midtown, it’s easy to get anywhere else in the city relatively quickly. Eglinton Station provides you with quick transport to downtown via subway. Plus, you’ll have several easy bus connections to different areas of Toronto. Plus, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is planned and will travel as far as Mount Dennis – so this area will become even more well-connected in the future.

2. The Shopping Malls Have a Lot to Offer

Let’s take the gargantuan Yonge and Eglinton Centre for example. Not only does it have a staggering selection of shops (featuring everything from clothing to accessories to electronics and more), it is also home to a supermarket, a food court, a Goodlife Fitness and a Cineplex cinema. Finding everything you need under one roof is pretty convenient! (Plus, the Yonge and Eglinton Centre is just one of the shopping centres in Midtown. Check out our post about shopping in Midtown for more details.)

3. There Are Plenty of Green Spaces

Midtown has plenty of pleasant parks and playgrounds where you can have a picnic, go for a walk and simply enjoy the great outdoors. Watch the squirrels leaping in the trees, listen to the birds chirping and seek out a quiet bench of your own. For example, the Beltline Trail offers a beautiful shady walking trail through Mount Pleasant Cemetery, the Moore Ravine and the Evergreen Brickworks.

4. The Main Streets Are Vibrant

Midtown Toronto has many main streets that are lined with lively local businesses, such as Eglinton and Yonge, Bayview, Spadina and Mount Pleasant. The streets aren’t just lined with the cookie-cutter brands, there are so many one-of-a-kind businesses that you won’t find anywhere else. Walking down these streets is a delight, as you’ll find friendly local cafes and eateries, quirky boutiques and other interesting shops. It’s easy to spend hours exploring – and chatting to the friendly business owners who make up the community.

5. The Food Selection Is Fantastic

Another one of the perks of living in Midtown Toronto is the food. Some evenings you might not feel like cooking. Or, you might want to treat yourself to something special. You’ll have so many great choices within walking distance. There’s the legendary brunches at Boom Breakfast, the juicy Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches at Banh Mi Boys, the handmade desserts at Caffe Demetre and much more.
