“I have frequently referred patients to Aviva and have always had a good experience. I recently attended an event at Aviva and had the opportunity to further interact with their helpful and amazing staff. It is obvious everyone who works there is caring and committed to their residents' wellbeing.”

“It's a wonderful place to live, I'm happy to be here. Housekeeping is great and the food is great. My room and bathroom are always clean. I shave and brush my teeth everyday and shower twice a week. The social worker told me I have place here as long as I want and I'm not transient anymore. I love it here.”
