This is a difficult decision. Research is essential and a place for mom helped give me options for my cousin. He has been at AVIVA for [time frame removed] and comfortable. He has moved into hospice with guidance from AVIVA Thanks for your help.

Good local memory care facility.

Some staff really care about the patients and some are there just for a paycheck. I would recommend.

Great Place For Your Loved Ones!

The staff is amazing. They treat everyone with kindness & go above & beyond to be helpful. The entire staff, especially the nurses & aids & the cleaning staff & maintenance staff, interact with each of the residents making them feel like they are at home. I would recommend this facility to anyone. They communicate with the family & take time to explain things.

My father is doing very well!!!

My father is doing very well. His sugar is under control. with all the legalities going on and getting the guardianship and being a temporary guardian is not easy. The only problem we have is that when we needed a physicians report, nurse practitioner filled it out and we really needed a physician to fill it out for court. My father enjoys it. They have a lot of movie nights entertainment and games. He loves the food and his room is very nice but he’s not very clean so he gets to help. He needs to make sure he is clean and the room is clean since he’s not capable of doing that. They have also something called stages of health, but they don’t have anything in writing what determines the stages, but it does determine how much you pay for care. Overall, I think it is a great place for my father to have an apartment to have a room that locks for the minimal care that he needs at this time.

Caring, helpful staff that does not hesitate to go beyond the call of duty.

My mom has been at Aviva Merrillville for about two years and I am positive that she is constantly in great hands. The staff are constantly caring, kind and patient with all residents. Recently, my mother was diagnosed with an ocular ulcer which requires constant care and monitoring. When transportation difficulties were brought up, the Director immediately volunteered to help. Both the Activities Director and Support staff have been making sure that my mom makes it to her appointments and that I only have to miss a half day of work. Additionally, my mother has needed hourly eye drops for the past couple of weeks. The nursing staff has been vigilant about administering them, keeping up with her medications and keeping in constant communication with me and the doctors with any concerns. Due to this expert care, my mom's eye is on the mend. I cannot thank the staff enough for showing such love and kindness to both my mother and myself.

Our family experience, overall good community with some improvements to communication and meals.

Initially we had very good contact but now difficult to contact anyone to get issues resolved. When it comes to the meals and dining there is not much of a selection or a variety to choose from. There is also not enough activities for the residents.

Review for Aviva Merrillville

We had a great experience. My father was there for less than a month before he passed but everyone at Aviva was great. Kind & caring and we are grateful for the care they provided for my father. Since my father was in hospice care and nonverbal for most of his stay the staff was also generous with their time and knowledge with the family, who is keeping vigil at his bedside. In the hardest time of our life as we were dealing with our fathers impending passing, they made the process easier to bear.

Fantastic Memory care

We are so happy with the care they have provided for my mom. When her condition worsened and it was no longer able to live without assistance, we had no idea what to do. [name removed] at Aviva Merrillville came in on a Sunday to show us the facility. The information was clear on the financial aspects and care.

My loved one was previously a resident at this facility. The facility was clean and the care was good. Her room was lovely, with a view of the pond. It was a good experience.

Highly recommend place for your loved one!

I would highly recommend Aviva, without them my husband and I would not have been able to go on our trip. I felt very comfortable leaving my mom there and she had a great time. She felt as if she were on vacation too! The staff was great , very thorough and explained everything to us and my mom's room was wonderful.

Where is the staff hiding?

The staff is never around, especially the front desk attendant. The lights are always off behind the desk. Their work days always end at 2:30 or 3:30pm. All of the employees are new even the Exec. Director is fairly new. I was promised many things when signing up but received very little. It is like pulling teeth! I do like the CNA's they are sweet and compassionate. That is the only good thing about this place. This place has lots of room for improvement. I hope they don't let me down.

Experience at Aviva Merrillville

The staff are quick to respond to any issues or concerns. Communication with the family has been excellent in noting any changes in our loved one's condition or medications. Having been present for the weekly room cleaning, the staff person was meticulous, every surface was washed or vacuumed. The staff from the front desk to the Aides (for the most part) are friendly and willing to help with any needs. The staff are very genuinely kind to our loved one and she expresses regularly how happy she is with her care and the room she stays in! We have hospice as a complementary service, which adds to the quality of care. I highly recommend this facility as price is reasonable and care exceeds our expectations compared to a much higher priced facility (with fancier amenities). The food is adequate, with special meal days. The staff regularly prepares extra favorites for my loved one and know her likes and dislikes.

The staff is kind, attentive and courteous. Mom is content here, and always says that everyone treats her very well. The administrative staff is always aware of concerns and the nursing/caregiver staff show care and concern and helps to fix any health issues.
