Key Review Excerpts

My mother is an Alzheimer’s patient and unable to communicate or move. Vivian Healthcare is the absolute best! The staff communicates with me regarding my mother’s care. I get updates on the regular.

Memory care family member · 2026★★★★★

I was so worried about leaving Mom at a nursing home, but after being caregiver for her for 7 years, the alzheimer's wore me down to nothing. I was heartbroken to do it, but after seeing the care she's receiving at Vivian Healthcare, I can sleep well at night.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

The staff really care about my loved one and my feelings going through this difficult time in our lives. I know my husband would hug each one of them if he were mentally and physically able.
