My loved one was previously a resident at this facility. The facility was clean and the care was good. Her room was lovely, with a view of the pond. It was a good experience.

Highly recommend place for your loved one!
I would highly recommend Aviva, without them my husband and I would not have been able to go on our trip. I felt very comfortable leaving my mom there and she had a great time. She felt as if she were on vacation too! The staff was great , very thorough and explained everything to us and my mom's room was wonderful.

Where is the staff hiding?
The staff is never around, especially the front desk attendant. The lights are always off behind the desk. Their work days always end at 2:30 or 3:30pm. All of the employees are new even the Exec. Director is fairly new. I was promised many things when signing up but received very little. It is like pulling teeth! I do like the CNA's they are sweet and compassionate. That is the only good thing about this place. This place has lots of room for improvement. I hope they don't let me down.

Experience at Aviva Merrillville
The staff are quick to respond to any issues or concerns. Communication with the family has been excellent in noting any changes in our loved one's condition or medications. Having been present for the weekly room cleaning, the staff person was meticulous, every surface was washed or vacuumed. The staff from the front desk to the Aides (for the most part) are friendly and willing to help with any needs. The staff are very genuinely kind to our loved one and she expresses regularly how happy she is with her care and the room she stays in! We have hospice as a complementary service, which adds to the quality of care. I highly recommend this facility as price is reasonable and care exceeds our expectations compared to a much higher priced facility (with fancier amenities). The food is adequate, with special meal days. The staff regularly prepares extra favorites for my loved one and know her likes and dislikes.

Over and beyond
We were in the process of looking for a skilled nursing facility for my mother when she left the hospital. I received an e-mail from Journey Senior Living Community and it provided the MOST in-depth and comprehensive information from any facility with whom I had been in contact. In fact, Journey Senior Living Community would have been the community of choice for our mother, but unfortunately she passed away on the day before Thanksgiving. I am profoundly appreciative of the time spent and the heartfelt condolences that were expressed during my conversations with staff, both by e-mail and by phone. I give them an exemplary evaluation even though we were not able to use their services. They went OVER and BEYOND, and EXCEEDED by expectations.

We Love Journey
I live out of state but frequently call to check on my mom and the staff is always very warm, considerate, helpful and gives me detailed updates on Mom. They are also very quick to let us know when Mom needs something. Mom's room and Journey are both always clean when I come to visit. There are many activities for the residents and Mom enjoys them all. Covid has made times really tough for families with loved ones in these facilities but Journey has really done a wonderful job to keep their residents safe and happy as well as their families. Thank you Journey!!!

I think it is a good facility, it is very nice and clean but I feel like the staff need to be more attentive to the residents especially in memory care. I would just tell others to make sure if you put your loved one into a facility, you need to be an advocate and be there for them.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Aviva Merrillville

Aviva Merrillville offers Studio and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Aviva Merrillville 9.6 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.
