Meet our ceo

Greetings from

Jay Solomon

President & CEO

Welcome to Aviva, Sarasota’s premier not-for-profit rental senior living community. On behalf of our entire team, let me be the first to welcome you to our little slice of paradise.

In Hebrew, the word Aviva translates to “spring,” and there is no better word to highlight the very heart of our community. For the past 30 years, Aviva has served as a place for vibrant, active, and engaged seniors to explore new possibilities, foster new connections, and celebrate the joys of retirement. Our award-winning team is here to take care of the day-to-day so our residents and their families can take time to enjoy the best that life has to offer.

Aviva is so much more than a place; it is a promise. Our founders dreamed of a community where art, culture, wellness, and connection could flourish, all built on the foundation of traditional Jewish values. That dream comes alive every day on our campus and is celebrated in the relationships between our residents and staff. At Aviva, we believe that everyone is “mishpucha,” or family. Together we support, care for, and push each other to reach new heights. And we are eager to have you join our growing family!

Seeing is often believing, so I invite you to experience life on campus for yourself. Schedule a tour, attend an event, or stop by for lunch and see why we love working and living at Aviva.


Welcome and Shalom,
Jay Solomon
