Viva Senior Living

Viva Senior Living at Harrisburg took great care of my mother during her illness. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. My mother received her medications on time and enjoyed the activities offered, such as bingo.

We moved my father because he was not happy where he was . He insisted to be moved. I fell across Viva and made an appointment to view the facility. It was wonderful. There were people everywhere all doing different things puzzles games cards happy hour on Fridays. The activity room is always buzzing. The staff is very kind caring and attentive to my dad’s every need.

I went to visit a friend who recently moved into Viva Memory Care in Dresher. The staff went out of their way to make me feel right at home while I visited my friend. The staff was so kind and caring and overly friendly, It was comforting to know that my lifelong friend was in a clean and safe environment and in good hands!

It provided our dad with a safe and secure environment that met his daily living needs, so that he could mentally/socially flourish. He was very content and Happy! Unfortunately, he was only there 8 months because he took a fall and broke his hip and never regained ambulation, so we had to find skilled nursing care.

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.

My parents are living there and are very well taken care of. They are taken care of medically. Also if my parents need anything they also are taken care. I am very happy that they are living there. I do not have to worry about them,

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!

We are very pleased with the care Mom is receiving at Viva. Meals always look good and there are endless activities for the residents to do. I would like to thank everyone there for the daily care they give to Mom.

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!

With the type of dementia, my grandfather has, the staff has been wonderful and dealing with his temperaments, and I couldn’t ask for better employees at Viva Senior Living .[names removed]have gone way above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my grandfather is taking care of. It is clean and the activities are great. Very reassuring that my grandfather is safe and well taken care of.

My father moved to Viva in [date removed]. He was welcomed with open arms from day one. I am so thankful for the amazing staff at Viva. I know that my father and the rest of the residents are in good and caring hands. Thank you Viva!! You deserve 10-stars.

We were astounded that all aspects of the move went without any glitches. [name removed]was wonderful to work with. She saw that nothing went wrong. Even went to the doctor’s office to see that paperwork was completed.

Our loved one really liked Canterfield and the people and the nurses. The double room is excellent. The meals are not the best, but they really are trying to get their food program in order but hiring is difficult.

We are so pleased with our experience with Commonwealth. They truly care for my mom. They are very communicative and involve the families. We have lots of family meals. She attends many activities. The staff is always friendly. We have been thoroughly pleased with her placement at Commonwealth.

Viva Senior Living at Harrisburg has helped my dad and I throughout this process so well. You definitely feel like family with them.

No place is perfect! We have to give some grace but things are getting better each day, multiple changes are being made for the better. More organized, plus lovely outdoor spaces, and fountain, I encourage you to tour to see for yourself
