How to Choose the Right Senior Living Community for Your Loved One

Choosing the right senior living community is a big decision—and it’s about more than just care. It’s about finding a place where your loved one feels safe, supported, and at home. Here are five key things to consider:

1. Understand the Level of Care Needed

Does your loved one need Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Skilled Nursing? Choose a community—like Aviva Senior Living in Sarasota—that offers multiple levels of care, so your loved one can age in place without having to move again.

2. Visit and Observe

Schedule a tour and pay attention to cleanliness, how staff interact with residents, and what daily life feels like. Are there engaging activities? Is the dining menu nutritious and appealing? At Aviva, residents enjoy chef-prepared meals, wellness programs, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

3. Ask About Pricing and Contracts

Make sure costs are transparent and you understand what’s included. Aviva offers a rental model with no large buy-in, making it easier for families to plan financially.

4. Consider Location and Culture

Proximity to family, healthcare, and personal values matter. Aviva’s Sarasota campus offers peaceful surroundings and inclusive programming rooted in dignity and purpose.

5. Involve Your Loved One

Whenever possible, include your loved one in the decision-making process. Their comfort and opinion are essential.

  • Full continuum of care on one campus
