Aviva Senior Living

The Director and Staff are very caring, compassionate and professional. Always open to questions and any concerns.

Second facility for my mom. She is in aviva's memory care- their staff to ratio is great. They know where residents are at all times. It's a smaller unit and they interact a lot with residents. Always appears clean in main areas. Each staff member knows residents by name. Administrative staff is responsive and keeps family updated from change in meds to trip outings.

All would be a 5. Granted my Mother was only there a week due to illness, it was a great facility. We would definitely recommend Aviva Woodlands to other families. While it may seem more expensive, the overall quality and experience is reflected the facility and personnel.

The staff is amazing. They treat everyone with kindness & go above & beyond to be helpful. The entire staff, especially the nurses & aids & the cleaning staff & maintenance staff, interact with each of the residents making them feel like they are at home. I would recommend this facility to anyone. They communicate with the family & take time to explain things.

Actually it is my brother who is at the Aviva Woodlands. It is a facility that provides assisted living. He is in an efficiency apartment which is enough space for him with a small kitchen area with refrigerator and a microwave. He can have a toaster and use of a crockpot. There are cupboards for food storage and dishes. He has a large closet and his own bathroom with walk-in shower. He provides his own TV but cable is provided. He had to provide his own furniture. Three meals a day are provided and available in the dining area. Activities are available to participate in.

Everyone was very welcoming in answering all the questions. Making my dad feel like he was part of a community. Yes, I would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

After touring several facilities, I knew that this was the place. When I retire, I would like to live here. There are daily activities, a constantly rotating menu, and a staff where everyone is smiling and helpful. This facility provides the freedom for the residents to walk out the door which is something that my father-in-law truly appreciates. It has taken a couple of months, but they are acclimating to a new lifestyle.

I visit my aunt at Aviva often. Everyone I have met or talked with, are terrific. I see that staff watches out for the residents, and care so much for them. When entering the building, the first person one sees is [name removed]. What a gem she is! [name removed] knows all the visitors, all the residents and all of the staff members. [name removed] interacts well with everyone and treats everyone with great respect. [name removed] is Aviva. She is a ray of sunshine for all of us!

My father is doing very well. His sugar is under control. with all the legalities going on and getting the guardianship and being a temporary guardian is not easy. The only problem we have is that when we needed a physicians report, nurse practitioner filled it out and we really needed a physician to fill it out for court. My father enjoys it. They have a lot of movie nights entertainment and games. He loves the food and his room is very nice but he’s not very clean so he gets to help. He needs to make sure he is clean and the room is clean since he’s not capable of doing that. They have also something called stages of health, but they don’t have anything in writing what determines the stages, but it does determine how much you pay for care. Overall, I think it is a great place for my father to have an apartment to have a room that locks for the minimal care that he needs at this time.

My mom has been at Aviva Merrillville for about two years and I am positive that she is constantly in great hands. The staff are constantly caring, kind and patient with all residents. Recently, my mother was diagnosed with an ocular ulcer which requires constant care and monitoring. When transportation difficulties were brought up, the Director immediately volunteered to help. Both the Activities Director and Support staff have been making sure that my mom makes it to her appointments and that I only have to miss a half day of work. Additionally, my mother has needed hourly eye drops for the past couple of weeks. The nursing staff has been vigilant about administering them, keeping up with her medications and keeping in constant communication with me and the doctors with any concerns. Due to this expert care, my mom's eye is on the mend. I cannot thank the staff enough for showing such love and kindness to both my mother and myself.

I would highly recommend Aviva Hills. Aviva Hills has knocked it OUT OF THE PARK. The care that my Mother-in-Law has received has been very good. They are very clean & the caregivers make you feel right at home.

My parents are happy there so I would rate each of these five. I am also comparing Aviva to Harbor Chase where my mother-in-law was. My mother-in-law is now at Aviva. The cost is approximately half what Harbor Chase was, and Aviva has much better care.

Upon visiting impressed by nice facilities and friendly professional staff. Also located two miles from my parents home which was very important to them. It's a well run place!

Aviva staff are always very welcoming and Friendly when we come in. Usually one of the staff gives me an update on his activities. I love the key fobs and the ability to come and go; we even got a key for his sister so she could visit more easily.

Yes, I would recommend this community to other families. I love where I'm living! It's a beautiful place and I have had so many wonderful experiences here and have enjoyed meeting so many new friends here that I already feel blessed to know. All in all, it is much better than where my sister is living. And, instead of having only one room and a bath, Aviva offers one and two bedrooms with a kitchen and living room. And the bathroom is roomy with a large closet. Three meals a day are also furnished with a choice of getting a different meal if we don't like the first meal that is offered!

The facility has been upgraded within the last two years is very nice and clean. The staff has been very helpful with a lot of activities for the residents. The pricing at the facility is very reasonable.

Aviva Maybelle Carter was a very good experience for my sister. They were very accommodating. The place was very clean and updated. The staff went out of their way to help her and me. It was a tremendous value for the money.

The food is much better than my parents previous facility. I like the privacy of their apartment and the fact my parents don’t have to deal with people wondering. They are very good about responding to questions I have. The caregivers really seem to care. I especially like the watches the residents wear that is also a call button and alerts caregivers of a fall. I think their services are good for the cost incurred.

I would recommend.

It was the best place we could have taken my parents. Very homey vibe. Staff gets to know residents and makes them feel welcome. Often found someone in my mom's room visiting her. I highly recommend this facility.[name removed]has an unbelievable staff.
