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

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 decorate for holidays outside and it's amazing. The inside looks nice too.

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.... and the overall facility is very clean , orderly , professional etc .... I would recommend this facility to anyone in need of assisted living / independent living -- overall prices are competitive with a facility of its style & caliber

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

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, and I'm so thankful they can call it "home".

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 the facility-- he appears to like it and is transitioning and adapting very well to the new surroundings and people

Viva staff are friendly and responsive (usually quickly showing up after Mom activates call button around her neck). I had many meals ranging from very good through typical to not good, as would be expected. Of the activities Mom has learned and loved is Noodle Ball using the noodle swimming floats and a balloon. Her apartment is larger than what it looked like in its picture. Although not everything had been unpacked, the book shelve, small bed, small dresser, and tall storage closet that were added did not make the room feel uncomfortable.

I am a new resident at Viva Senior Living in Oak Ridge and they are already treating me like family. The caregivers actually care about us and are only a few steps away at a times. The building is really clean and has a lot of new upgrades. The food is really good and they are always asking the residents what we like or don't like. I love living at Viva!

When I went to see Viva Senior Living at Oak Ridge, I was pretty impressed by the building, the people, and the activities they offered. The staff was very nice. They're lovely, lovely people. The common areas were very spacious, clean, and very nice. The staff members were wonderful. I didn't get to see any of the rooms. However, the facilities are lovely. Physically, it's beautiful, it's clean, and it's modern. They seem to have everything they need, like entertainment and activities. There was some kind of a buffet thing going on. It was an open house for visitors, and the food was good. It was not exceptional, but it was adequate and nicely prepared.

My mother-in-law moved to Viva Senior Living at Oak Ridge. It's very well kept and everybody is very polite. They will work with you on certain things and they do evaluations. If you're not sure what your loved one's certain care level is or if they need more care, they ask you questions. They will evaluate them themselves. They also have an on-call doctor that comes in monthly and sees the people that they need to see. The price is very, very respectful. It's a nice atmosphere. They have two meals a day for every meal sitting. That's two breakfasts, two lunches, two suppers at two different times, which gives the residents more independence to take what time they decide they want to eat. They have a hair salon there, too, so somebody can do their hair. This place is up to date and just phenomenal. I don't see any problems with any of the furniture, the walls, and flooring. My husband and my son have eaten there and they love the food. My mother-in-law does crafts pretty much daily.

Mom was at Viva for a little over a month before we were told we had 7 days to find her someplace else because she was a liability. [name removed] visited mom at the nursing home and knew she couldn't get out of bed or walk by herself. He was aware of the care she needed but said he had good staff and they could take care of her; that they were very persuasive. Well they were not. Mom refused to get out of bed and consequently developed a very bad bedsore. She is in the hospital with a wound vac and very strong antibiotics. Very disappointed in Viva.

There are lots of activities and help is available when they need it. The cleanliness could be better. The activities is where Viva knocks it out of the park. I hope the activities will continue to be frequent and fun under the new ownership. Rates went up with new owners

Beware of bed bugs! My mother had a serious stroke this past Labor Day weekend. She returned to her apartment after a month recovering in the hospital and at rehab to find her apartment infested with bedbugs. An exterminator was sent one week after the infestation was reported. There here was no folow up. My mother’s repeated requests for maintenance to remove an infested sofa and area rug were ignored. Caregivers quit because of allergic reactions to bed bug bites.I had to move my mother to a hotel when the infestation became so severe, her apartment was uninhabitable. She lived there while I renovated my home to make it accessible for her to move in. It’s astonishing to me how little was done to address a public health hazard. My mother had to discard thousands of dollars worth of her possessions, and her requests for fair compensation were ignored. If my mother’s apartment was so severely infested, there's no doubt other apartments and public areas are also affected.

Our loved one really liked Canterfield and the people and the nurses. The double room is excellent. The meals are not the best, but they really are trying to get their food program in order but hiring is difficult.

Commonwealth Senior Living is a great place to live and it is very clean. The staff is very friendly and even though I am in independent living, if I need something they make sure. Dining area is very clean and mills are nutritious. I would like to have a cheaper place for my budget.

They have lots of staff turnover. When a patient leaves for hospitalization it is very hard to be re-admitted. They need to better accommodate wheelchair patients in activities. As to food, they show videos and movies during meals given in the upstairs dining room which is very noisy and distracting.

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 found the staff at Commonwealth Senior Living at Oak Ridge to be friendly and helpful. The move in process was easy and they helped by finding a mover for us. I didn't eat there, but the meals looked good. The cleanliness and quality of care were great. The value for cost was also great. I would recommend this facility to others as the residents always seemed to be enjoying their time there.
