Patience

The staff I have met seem to truly care about the residents even though as in our case the resident is overall selfish and irritating. Also like visitation of medical personnel. Don’t see much that could be improved on given the cost

Peace of mind

The executive director Adam is amazing. He made the transition for my grandmother from IL so easy. Very kind and funny guy. All employees are so nice and happy. The energy from the staff to the people staying there is great. The facility is clean with no smell which makes me happy and the entertainment is great. I mean they had mint juleps and Kentucky derby party and then margs on Cinco de Mayo. The physical therapy are awesome. I really have no complaints at all. It is an older building on the outside but they de

I didn't know what to expect - but everyone I talked and dealt with was nice & tried to be helpful - and every company / service has room to improve The facility and staff are I would say awesome / exceptional .... every need I have had they have tried to go over and above -- the staff are all professional , caring , and the Exec Dir. for VIva Senior Living is very great , compassionate, understanding- and like I said - any issues I have addressed ( have a couple small ones ) and he has been more accommodating....

Our experience

Some staff were friendly & competent while others lacked knowledge & training with the elderly. On mom had been transferred to a behavioral center while at Viva for medication regimen evaluation. Once stable was discharged. On Thanksgiving Day we were notified that Viva would not take her back due to possible elopement risk. She was discharged with no place to go. Family had a tremendous hardship

Review for Viva Senior Living at Oak Ridge

The staff members have been very professional and personable. They go above and beyond for the residents. The facility is absolutely beautiful! It is always clean and offers a welcoming atmosphere for residents and family members! The holidays are especially important, and Viva decorates all common areas and provides so many activities for family and friends of the residents! The Thanksgiving dinner was undoubtedly the best meal I have had lately. Overall, it's truly a wonderful and warm community for my in-laws, a

Tennessee warm southern respite

Considering NUMEROUS factors & ratings / personally talking with staff members ( very pleasant staff ) / admin organization / and privately talking with individuals that are residents--- / cleanliness/ activities/ food nutrition & prep .... And personally a additional MAJOR factor for me was that the Facility bldg. Itself HAD to look a certain way - in order for my brother to be accepting of it ..... But from everything that I have seen and experienced so far preliminary/ and now 3 wks into my brother moving into
