I’m so impressed with Care Suites Of Edina by Vivie (used to be Walker Methodist). I am a friend and POA for a new resident and every week I encounter another reason why I am grateful that he is at Vivie. The staff are professional and permanent, so they really get to know each resident’s needs and preferences. My friend is very particular about his clothing, and his aides are respectful of his individuality. The staff are supportive towards family. I’ve emailed several staff members with various questions, and in each case, I received a prompt and thorough response. The meals are actually delicious, and I enjoy eating with my friend. Vivie has a podiatrist, dentist, nurse practitioner, and other skilled care providers who come to the facility to provide care for residents if they choose, but, if a resident has an appointment outside of the facility, Vivie has a handicap accessible van available to transport both the resident and the family member to and from the appointment - at no cost to the resident! This has been a godsend for my friend who is unable to get in and out of a wheelchair or into a car comfortably. Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference, but at Vivie, it’s both the big and the small. From the beautiful flowers outside the main entrance, to the smiles and energy of the staff, to the residents who call Vivie home, it’s a community, and I’m so grateful my friend can be part of it.
