Viva Senior Living

I recently explored senior care communities in & around Stafford, Quantico & Fredericksburg, and wow, Commonwealth Stafford really stood out. While it’s a beautiful, quaint and well manicured facility, it was the atmosphere and consistent feeling of love and family that makes them top of our list. We visited 9 assisted living, independent living and memory care locations over the span of a week, all nice communities around the same price points, & Commonwealth Stafford far exceeds the others. We’ve been back for a second visit just to be sure, & felt the love again. The staff were joking and sharing embraces with the residents, authentically! It’s hard to explain but it’s a feeling that lingers with you when you feel peace & genuine love throughout. This has been an emotional walk filled with self-doubt, guilt & overwhelmed feelings, but we are so thankful to have found a genuine home-like feel at this community. I’m actually excited to move our loved one in!

They have an awesome staff that goes the extra mile for their residents! Cost and location was also a determining factor for us!They were awesome to each of us!!

I chose this location because of the staff, the communication as well as the location. My father is very happy at Keepsake. I would recommend.And as a nurse I will tell you that staffing is an issue everywhere. The key is to be involved with the people caring for your loved one. Be involved in the day to day life.

My loved one was in a rehab facility and when they evaluated her, the only match we could find for her was Keepsake Village. Our experience was very good. Mom was only there for 6 weeks. She had a UTI and had to go to the hospital, then rehab. After rehab she came to live with us until she passed on [date removed]

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. For those who do not drive they have transportation, free of charge to grocery stores, medical appointments ETC. I would recommend Commonwealth at Oak Ridge to others.

I would recommend the facility. The reason I actually chose Commonwealth is because my 98 year old Mother-in-law was a resident there during Covid and she got exceptional care. We were not always allowed into the facility and she was well cared for. Facility is kept clean. Staff is friendly and very helpful. You have a question, you get an answer. I moved Mom's items a day before she arrived. This made it easier on her. I'm well pleased with Commonwealth and my Mom likes it there. I'm fortunate that I was able to get a room when I did.

The staff there is very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. They resolved our issues as well address our questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend them.

I feel like the techs genuinely care about the residents at Commonwealth. They're taking care of 50 residents in memory care alone. So instead of waiting for them to contact me, I will reach out to them for questions. They're on staff doctors are great @ evaluations. They'll change medications as needed and have a pharmacy they work with to keep things simple. They'll also contact you if medication changes are a lot different than what was previously prescribed. I'd highly recommend Commonwealth. They're very good with my father and conveniently located as well. They're also the most affordable, but provide exceptional care and service.

A bit understaffed and concerns on how many staff members have left over past 6 months due to management. The executive director is not always honest on facility issues. The remaining staff are lovely. Concerns that no RN is there in the evening. Only Med techs.

I picked this community because of location to me. Costs have gone up, the activities are not everyone's cup of tea. They need to be geared more for active people as well as for those less active. The staff are mostly wonderful, they are willing to work with the family. Memory care is considered assisted living but the doors are locked for safety. I thought there were more services than there are. Memory Care is a lot of money but it keeps dad safe.

We picked this community because, there was a bed available for the care she needed. I would recommend to others. Everyone was so kind.

Friends have asked me about Park Terrace and my response is the same -- our first impression was spot on. The facility is clean, staff is friendly and truly cares for its residents and their family members. The menu offers a wide selection. My mom often tells us about the good meal. The services are planned to meet the needs of the residents. The variety of activities is refreshing. We, including my mom, chose Park Terrace because if the above mentioned and it just felt like the right choice from the time we took our tour to move in day where everyone was so helpful.

We picked this community because of the friendly staff and residents along with activities. I would recommend to others.

Oakwood Village was warm and welcoming to my mom. The staff were upbeat and helpful during the transition. This includes the aides, nurses, and housekeeping staff. The residents are happy and very friendly. The overall atmosphere is great. Mom loves the food and the staff are very accommodating when she chooses to eat in her room at times. The activities are entertaining with routine outings available to the residents. Mom continually says that if you need to live in assisted living then this is the place to be.

My mom suffered a broken leg recently and needs a bit more care than we can provide. We scheduled a meeting at Viva and was met by Sabrina who was SO kind and thorough. We feel comfortable moving forward getting our mom in for the extra care she’ll need.

I was so glad that my sister was accepted at the Viva Senior Living. From the entrance to the administration office, everyone made us feel welcome and accommodated everything they could to meet my sister's needs. The facility is beautiful as is all the staff and the recreational facilitator goes above and beyond the patience expectation. I am so glad I can relax knowing the are taking good care of my sister, she is hard to please!

The Director [name removed] is great to work with. She has helped me emotionally as well in making the transition for my mother into the facility a pleasant one. Whether day or night she has returned my calls. I feel that she is a great asset to your company. The staff is also friendly and attentive to everyone’s needs in the memory care unit.

All the staff at Viva have been great! They are very friendly and always helpful. Always ready to answer any questions. They have several activities every day from crafts and exercises to social activities and outings. They are diligent of encouraging residents to participate. Happy hour on Friday when a DJ comes in to play music is the highlight of the week!

Since [name removed] and her team joined VIVA Senior Living Center in the spring, VIVA has transformed into an active facility where residents are family to each other and staff. She is available 24/7 to troubleshoot any problems and she always gets positive results! [name removed], the activities director, not only decorates to make VIVA festive but is infectious with her enthusiasm to encourage residents to participate in morning exercises, crafts or special entertainment etc. Clay, the dining service director, knows each of the residents by name and their food preferences. [name removed], the resident care director, is approachable and follows up with questions regarding resident care. VIVA’s caregivers are hard working and seem genuinely happy in providing help to our mother. She calls VIVA “home ”and loves her village there…and so do we! Covid was hard on all elderly care facilities but VIVA seems revitalized through the combined efforts of Millie and her team, for that, my family is VERY grateful!

Viva has been helpful and caring since day 1. They have addressed concerns and made the move for our aunt and family much easier and smoother than anticipated. Since she's been there, we continue to find them helpful and attentive to any needs. My aunt loves being at Viva. She says it best when she says, "I feel seen. I feel heard. I feel valued."
