Viva Senior Living

I really found your information helpful, so helpful that I have used your suggestion and have put my husband in your recommended home. Thanks again.

I was very nervous when I first arrived here.That didn't remain very long.I never felt more at home by both staff and residents.I felt so comfortable that i ran for president of the resident council won.Surprise! Surprise!

Feels right at home,people are great,Food is wonderful.

I like it here,the people make you feel like family.

My dad has dementia,and we recently had to place him here.they are very attentive to him and watch him closely.He has a very nice room and his helpers(staff)are very friendly and understanding to him even though he does not want to be here.(doctor's orders that he stay here.)

This is a wonderful place. The people are so helpful to the patients and the people that come to see the patients. They make you fell so welcome we you stop by for a visit. And the patients seen to enjoy their surroundings. They have a sidewalk in the back area and my father enjoys me pushing him in his wheel chair. There are trees and flowers and water flowing out of containers. My dad enjoys all of it. He would like to get out of the wheel chair and rock in the large rocking chairs.

My dear mother was a resident at Southern Manor in Lebanon, Tennessee for a three-month stay. We knew she could live for another couple of years, but we also knew that her chronic lung disease held the precarious element of death in days, even hours, should she contract another viral infection. She had been ready to go for quite some time, having visions of relatives who had already passed and glimpses of the next world. Mom realized that Southern Manor would be her last home, and knowing that she would receive hospice care there was immensely comforting to her. Mom passed on February 24th . Southern Manor gets high marks for all the elements of physical comfort, cleanliness, location, good food and the like. It’s a great place. Welcoming, homey, attractively decorated and pleasantly fragrant, if you walked the halls blindfolded you might never guess this place takes care of people at the end of life. These are very good things to say about such a place, and for many it would be enough. There is much more to say about Southern Manor, though. The Executive Director, Jennifer, is a highly skilled manager with the eyes of an eagle and the protectiveness of a lioness. She has honed her intuitive skill in hiring so that to a person, every staff member demonstrated compassion, patience and above all, simple, sweet kindness. It was astonishing to be warmly greeted by name when I visited my mother. Every question was answered with kind honesty, even the questions about money. My three brothers, my adult children, aunts, uncles and extended family all agree: we highly recommend Southern Manor for your loved one.

Magnolias of Easley is by far one of the best communities we've been to. My in laws have been there for a short time now and things are phenomenal. They are definitely in good hands and happy there. The staff have been wonderful and they are not under staffed in any way. The place is as clean as a whistle and we couldn't be happier with them!

Just moved my in laws from another facility. Magnolias is so nice and very clean. Staff is wonderful

Things are going great with her. I was just down there to visit the other day. The staff is friendly and kind and the facility is always very clean. They have a great level of care and great caregivers here.

My mother moved in here about two weeks ago. I was very worried that she needed more care than they would be able to provide, but they're doing a great job taking care of her, and she loves it there. They're doing everything for her that they said they would do. She says the food is very good (although she doesn't eat very much any more), and she even played Bingo yesterday, which I don't remember her ever playing in her whole life. Everyone is very friendly. Not only the staff, but even the residents made her feel very welcome. On the day she moved in, there were quite a few residents in the Activity Room, and as she passed they greeted her and said, "You're going to love it here...this place is great!" That made me feel terrific, to know that the residents felt that way about where my mother was going to be living. The first week, we had a few problems because her doctor had written her pain scripts for PRN, meaning she would only get her pain medicines when she would request them. My mother was not used to doing that, so she was having some problems with pain. But I had her doctor re-write her scripts so that she gets her pain medicines four times a day, and that seems to really have helped the problem. They have a LOT of activities every day for the residents, even on the weekends. I know some other places don't have activities on the weekends, and the people I know who live there are really bored on weekends. Greenfield continues activities on weekends, and has church on Sunday afternoon, which my mother is so happy being able to attend again. (When she was at home the last few months, she couldn't get out to church, and she really missed it.) My mother loves her room because it is a very nice size (much bigger than other places I checked out). And it has TWO six foot long closets -- she loves that!) She had lived with my husband and myself for 8 years, and it was really hard for me to finally realize she needed to move, but at my home she had to walk with a walker a lot of places where her wheelchair was not accessible, and my bathroom was very difficult for her to use. At the end, it just got too difficult for her to continue to use her walker. At Greenfield she is moved around everywhere in her wheelchair, her bathroom is very handicap friendly, and she has so much less pain because of that. It was a very difficult move to decide to make, but I really believe the Lord directed us to the right place for my mother, and He worked out all the details.

My mother-in-law has lived at Southern Manor for the past 9 months. The staff is wonderful and caring. She has memory issues, and every one there goes out of their way to meet her needs. Her needs include searching for her glasses and dentures which she hides daily. They treat her with dignity and respect at all times.

My mother has been here since October 2014. Our family is really pleased with the appearance and the staff here. I have recommended this center to friends.

The sweetest, caring staff! So very clean and food and presentation is fantastic. I thank God for this facility and have no concerns leaving my mother who is 94 living in their facility.

Good service with excellent workers and the food is usually good.

I like this place.

I like where I sit to eat.

My father has been a resident of Southern Manor since April 2015 and has adapted quite well to the regimens of an assisted living facility. The management and staff at Southern Manor are fantastic. They treat residents with dignity and respect and regard residents extended family members as part of the Southern Manor family.

Overall the experience has been good for Shirley my sister and how they relate to me. Always tell me everything I need and I would happily recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place.

Our family would and has recommended this facility to others experiencing this desease . The level of care has exceeded our expectations .
