Experience with Memory Care at Aviva
Staff are very contented and always available. Numbers in Memory Care are down currently because of deaths and skilled nursing needs (which is available but on a different floor), so staff ratios are high, but patient socialization with a choice for friendships is limited. This is a recent occurrence.

Staff is very good, friendly and accommodating. Communication is good so far, Mom has lived there less than 2 months. The move in process was seamless, a wonderful unit on first floor became available and was nicely renovated, after we had placed a deposit on a 4th unit that required a wait. She's very happy with it. Housekeeping is adequate, not exceptional so far. Mom has RAVED about the meals and dining room service. Great selections and quality! The residents have also been wonderful, friendly, and have made the transition so easy. She's made lots of friends. Transportation is also good. Nice drivers. I would, and actually have, recommended to others.

Do Your Homework
This facility has a lot of issues, especially financially. They even let their COO go so they could save that money. They tell the residents they will be stopping the kosher meals so they can save $[removed], but it hasn't happened yet, although I've been told all but a handful of the residents don't want kosher anyway. Kosher is very limiting on what food you can eat. Do your homework before moving in, or moving a loved one here. It's not only expensive to move twice, but stressful. I did meet a lot of the residents, that's how I got this information, and I must say they are all nice, sweet people. I really enjoyed meeting the residents and spending time with them.

It's Like a Family
I've had a great experience with Avaiva Senior Living. The staff are kind, caring, and helpful. The residents and staff are very friendly. If I could rate friendliness higher, I would. There are meals and activities to engage with and to meet residents. Overall, I would recommend this community to others.

Not The Best
This facility is old and not maintained well. Staff have been leaving like there's a virus in this facility, but it's due to working conditions. If you are thinking of moving a loved one into this facility, please be sure to check out other places as well. The food is not up to par and 99% of the residents have been complaining about it for awhile. The units aren't cleaned well and the carpets throughout the building are very dirty. There are many activities for residents to participate in, which is a plus. The highlight of this place are the residents. The ones I've met are very warm and caring.

Tour of Aviva
I was not impressed with Aviva. Right when I pulled up it just looked old, crowded and not inviting. When you walk in it is small and feels very institutional. It is very expensive for what they offer and you have to show them 4 years of assets to even move in. It may be the right fit for others, but it definitely was not the right fit for us.

A Great Place to Live and Work
A great community full of life and resident involvement. Amazing residents who are so willing to share with each other and the Sarasota community at large. Families are supportive and there are some great volunteers who give generously of their time and talents at Aviva.
I've worked here five years and after 30 years in the industry have finally found my home. I would be happy to retire from the workforce here and transition to life as a resident someday!

Feels like Home
The moment I walked through the Aviva doors I felt at home. There is a calmness and sense of peace that I knew I wanted to be a part of.
A lot of companies and facilities strive to reach this level of accomplishment. Aviva has not only reached it, but surpassed it.
This is a "must see" campus to visit when making the difficult decision to place a loved one where more daily assistance is available.

My mom loves it there!
I helped my mom move in to Independent Living at Aviva and she loves it there. There are always activities that keep her socializing and she’s made some great friends with people she can really connect with. I’m glad she picked Aviva.

I would want others to know that for my brother, he was only here for one year and he was very very happy. We were very pleased with the experience at Aviva and I would absolutely recommend to others who are looking.

Another well managed facility. Both staff and residents were friendly. Menu looked very good. Many things to do every day. Would be comfortable living here. Again, cost is the driving factor. 2-BR price is a little over $5000.00/month. We will keeplooking.

financial abuse
My Mom was promised a 2 bedroom for the price of a 1 bedroom and moved in 2 yrs ago. It was promised to her "in perpetuity". That promise was just a sham. They are creatively and effectively increasing her rent astronomically so that she will probably be paying the cost of a 2 bedroom in the near future. Her monthly rent has gone up aprox. $600 per month since she moved in [date removed]. It is my understanding that many others came in at the same time on this "deal" -- its your basic "bait and switch". Otherwise, my Mom loves it at Aviva & really doesn't want to leave, but we are very bothered by their lack of concern about her finances and their unethical billing

Have not visited, but from the information I received, it appears to have all or most amenities and activities I would like. A bit more expensive than most, and the non-refundable administrative upfront fees are high. Being a non-practicing Catholic, I am less interested in the Judaic-oriented activities and related costs for them.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Florida regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Florida regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Aviva Senior Living 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
