My mother moved into Viva Senior Living in April 2023 after recovering from a broken hip at the age of 88. We looked at a couple places but we knew Viva was our place almost immediately when we met their marketing director and toured the community. Viva has multiple levels of care available so if your loved one's needs increase, it can be accommodated there without having to move to a different facility. The staff are friendly and caring and are quick to address any concerns or needs. There are plenty of activities every day and some special events too. They provide transportation to local appointments if needed. There is a doctor that visits weekly and has done a great job addressing some of my mom's health issues. There is a hair salon on site and all meals are provided. I have eaten lunch there a few times and the food is pretty good! The best part of Viva is the staff. Management, med techs, aides, front desk, kitchen and servers are all great. I highly recommend Viva.

This facility is a great place to live. The staff is so friendly and they have lots of activities to keep your loved one active and engaged. The facility is clean and there is a lovely gazebo where the squirrels love to come get peanuts when available.

Not enough staffing, rooms were not be cleaned, residents were not being changed. When I brought it to their attention changes were made for a few days and then went right back to the same behavior.
My mother-in-law says the staff at Viva takes really good care of her. She's happy with the food, the care givers, the medical staff, and the maintenance staff. She said that if she can't be in her house, she might as well be at Viva. (She's 100)

There were people everywhere all doing different things puzzles games cards happy hour on Fridays. The activity room is always buzzing.

Our loved one was was only at Viva for a couple of months, had a fall that brought her to the hospital and Viva chose not to accept her back in to their community, feeling that she needed additional care going forward. I was pleased with the care that Viva was offering, but was disappointed that they wouldn't accept her back, but in hindsight understand why.

The place is spotless. All of the staff are wonderful. Meals seem to be repetitive, but my mother is okay with them. I would suggest more fresh fruit. Staff is always ready to help or assist anyway they can. Rooms are fairly large with plenty of storage room.

Tried a different NH for my mother in law with memory and health issues but were very disappointed and searched for a different facility. We found Viva Senior Living in Harrisburg (PA). What a great place. Not only is it less expensive than the terrible place we first were fooled by, the room is LARGE, she has a private shower, the food is made on site instead of trucked in premade and wrapped. Most importantly the staff is involved and kind. They respect her preferences, as long as they are not detrimental to her (i.e. they allow her to sleep late but do get her up for lunch). They check on her often and care for her well. Should the time come when I need assisted living I would definitely choose Viva Senior Living.

We are very grateful to [name removed] and the staff at Viva Personal Care Home for helping to re-enroll my brother into Viva. He was not taking care of himself at home and it became a safety issue. [name removed], as I said before, went over and beyond to help our family with the logistics of getting him back into Viva. Her kindness and concern for my brother's welfare was sincere as well as the staff at Viva. My husband and I have peace of mind knowing that my brother is in a wonderful and caring personal care home.

No inquiry or request is too small to receive help and service Viva for patients or caregivers. They make me feel comfortable leaving family in their care. Thank you all, forgive me for not personally thanking each of the staff each time I am there, but I hope you know you are all appreciated. [name removed]

I have appreciated every aspect of the transition of my sister's move into Viva. It was a great on-boarding experience - from the initial conversation - to the good pace of learning what our expectations needed to be - to a smooth move into the facility. I can't say enough about [name removed] and their great team!

My husband’s parents are here, one is in personal care and one is in memory care. We have such peace of mind knowing they are in a safe place and being well cared for. The staff and residents are friendly. The place is homey looking, not institutional looking. Their rooms are a nice size and they seem to all have a window in each room. Highly recommend.

I currently have both my mother and my father living at Viva Senior Living. Mom’s in Personal Care and Dad’s in Memory Care. I moved them to Viva from a different facility because of Viva’s home-like qualities. When I toured Viva, it was apparent both the residents and the staff were happy and enjoying their time there. And when the tour went through the dining area, it smelled wonderful, like a home cooked meal! They handle all of my parents needs, including prescription medication management (at home, they were always getting their pills mixed up and missing doses), assistance with daily tasks like dressing and bathing, rides to doctors appointments, and anything else that arises. I feel they go the extra mile to make the residents feel at home. I highly recommend Viva for your loved ones if they find they need some extra help. P.S. They have a fantastic activities director that keeps the residents engaged in fun games and entertainment!
