Viva Senior Living at Fredericksburg

Valerie

We had a nice tour. However, it's more of an assisted living place, and what we're looking for is independent living. I would say the lady, Karen, who took us on a tour was extremely friendly and caring towards all of the seniors that were there. She's definitely a plus for them. They had a whole calendar of activities. They had exercises and church groups that came in and different things like that. When you walk in, you can kind of see the dining area from the front foyer, and it looks pleasant enough. They had music playing. The room was really just like a small studio apartment. There was one room and then there was a closet and a bathroom.

We toured. We only looked at their studios. It was very homey, and it felt comfortable. However, the rooms weren't exactly what we were looking for. The tour was good. It was probably the third place we're visiting, so we were becoming more comfortable with what questions to ask. It is relatively small. They were the ones that had assigned seating at mealtimes.

I had an in-person tour. It was clean and quiet. I'm not sure that's what my mother is looking for because it's more like a nursing home. She doesn't want to be in a setting like that. The facility was very nice. I believe I met the director, and she basically gave me a tour of the place. It's a one-level facility. She showed me a room that two residents would share and stuff like that. When I visited, I didn't see any activity. It was all in the dining area, eating, or just sitting. The dining area was clean, and it was not a large place. It's a very small facility, so I didn't expect it to be large. The room looked like to be about 20 by 20 for two people.
