Life here means living with confidence.

As an AVIVA Senior Living community, we offer the AVIVA Living With Confidence wellness program – a comprehensive initiative that helps ensure every assisted living and memory care resident receives optimized care and the opportunity to live every day to its fullest.

Positive Psychology

Research reveals that positive psychology can alleviate depression and enhance well-being in older adults. Programs incorporating mindfulness, brain fitness, and spirituality redirect focus to positive life experiences, aiding seniors in coping with the challenges of aging.

Progressive Engineered Environment

We integrate advanced design and technology across all areas of the community, including innovative senior living spaces, electronic life safety programs, and electrostatic sprayers for disinfection, in-unit washers and dryers. A digital healthcare monitoring system collects health behavior data and facilitates communication with key staff members.

Movement

Enhancing physical vitality has numerous benefits for health, self-esteem, and socialization. We offer a wide range of physical activities tailored to older adults, including specialized fitness equipment, muscle strengthening and aerobic exercises, yoga, dance, stretching, walking and running programs, balance improvement to reduce the risk of falling, and access to physical therapy for injury recovery when necessary.

Medication Management

An Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMar) helps facilitate the distribution, tracking, and ordering of medications safely and efficiently. In partnership with local pharmacies and our onsite licensed nurse and med tech, the eMar software ensures the delivery of the right medication, at the right dose, and at the right time.

Sensory Design

Our community has been thoughtfully designed to engage all the senses, promoting vitality and engagement through aromatherapy, digital signage, and soothing music. Interactive technology connects residents and their families, while dining becomes a vibrant, social experience that fosters new friendships and healthy eating. The community's dedicated TV channel keeps residents informed about events, menus, and activities.

Brain-Healthy Nutrition

We offer diverse and flavorful menus that are not only delicious but prioritize brain health and can help reduce the risk of memory decline. Our dietary focus is on whole foods, including leafy greens, vegetables, nuts, berries, whole grains, fish, poultry, and extra virgin olive oil.

Sleep

Sleep plays a vital role in the body's cellular repair and rejuvenation process. Getting seven to nine hours of sleep is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimizing decline. A lack of sleep can negatively impact daily activities and reduce the quality of life for older adults. Our healthcare monitoring system is utilized to enhance sleep quality and promote overall wellness.

Hydration

Dehydration is the leading cause of hospitalization for seniors. Which is why we make maintaining hydration a critical component of our overall wellness program. Residents have 24-hour access to water at stations throughout each community and water is provided at every meal.
