Worth exploring

The room size was very good. The lighting in the room was terrible. The facility seemed clean, did not smell bad and had a lovely terrace out back. For a place where all seniors live we were surprised there were no handles in the bathroom or shower area and the bathroom didn't seem handicapped accessible. Some of the staff were very nice and very helpful. My mom was not an easy resident often yelling for help etc. Staff were always willing to answer our questions. There was a ton of confusion upon move in and

The facility and staff have been amazing. Cleanliness is stellar. The apartment for the cost is appropriate. There have been a few issues here and there, however when brought to their attention they address them very quickly. Overall a great experience.

At the Terrace at Chestnut Hill, it's a clean, well maintained facility. The staff are very kind and friendly. The food is good too. There are a wealth of activities to keep you busy.

Review for Viva Senior Living at Chestnut Hill

The Chestnut Hill Terrace / Tom was so professional and showed much patience with me and my family , We looked at having our Dad live there but our family kept. Putting it off cause one thing and another and chanced the month a couple times, also it was 3 of us / my sister and brother that was providing different info that Tom needed . It was about 6 months from the time we looked at the Terrence until we actually moved Dad in . Tom kept in touch and reached out to see how we were doing and what the plan was WITHOU
