“I had the pleasure of visiting a friend at her new residence for the first time, and I was quite impressed by how tidy it was. She appeared very content, and the staff members were notably friendly.”
“My father is a resident at the Memory Care unit. I have been very pleased with his care. He has improved (after his stroke) with their care (PT/OT/ST/nursing) to the point where he is functioning well enough for me to bring him to my home. Thanks very much to all of you. Also, he will miss the food!”
“My mother was at Aviva Woodlands Assisted Living for about 5 years. She had many visitors through out her stay there. They all commented about the facility being beautiful which it is. I personally found the staff to be the best I could hope for my mother with the direct care staff being exceptional!”
