    Small beautiful home, excellent care

    I placed my mother at Vividus and couldn't be happier - it's a small, very clean, beautiful home with fresh daily meals she loves and attentive, kind, knowledgeable caregivers. The owner (formerly a CNA) and team are extremely helpful, give regular health updates, and offer activities, patio/window visits and flexible visiting. It helped my mother through difficult times and she looks and eats better here. Note: this is not a respite or skilled nursing facility and isn't suited for moderate-advanced dementia; Persian meals aren't provided. I highly recommend Vividus.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive. Multiple reviewers emphasize attentive, kind, and patient caregivers and describe a knowledgeable care team that keeps families informed with regular health updates. The facility is repeatedly praised as extremely clean, new or well‑maintained, and homelike—reviewers note that their loved ones look better, eat better, and in many cases love their new home. Several comments explicitly state high recommendations for Vividus Senior Living, and family members report improved relationships and communication with staff.

    Staff and management receive consistent praise. Reviewers describe the staff as caring, loving, and professional, with specific mentions of an extremely helpful owner/management team. The owner is credited with being responsive and supportive during moves and difficult health periods. Multiple reviews highlight the positive, personal relationships between staff and residents (for example, staff helping a mother through difficult times or building a strong relationship with a father). The size of the facility is portrayed as a benefit: the smaller scale appears to allow more attentive, family‑style care and a sense of community.

    Food and daily life are frequently noted as strengths. Reviewers report fresh daily meals, good quality food (with some noting supplies sourced from Costco), and residents who enjoy and eat the meals. Several testimonials mention that their family members specifically love the meals and that meal quality contributed to positive changes. Activities, patio visits, and window visits are available, and reviewers appreciate visiting flexibility and the facility's location. Overall reviewers characterize the environment as warm, supportive, and offering more than peer facilities in the area.

    There are, however, some consistent limitations and concerns to be aware of. The facility is explicitly described as not suitable for moderate to advanced dementia care; reviewers note dementia care considerations but make clear the level of care does not extend to more advanced needs. Similarly, the facility does not provide respite care or skilled nursing services, which limits suitability for residents who require clinical or short-term higher-level nursing support. The small, home‑like scale—while a positive for personalized attention—also contributes to a limited clinical capacity.

    A few specific points were raised as potential negatives or considerations for certain families. One review notes that cultural meal options (Persian meals) are not provided, which may be a drawback for families seeking culturally specific cuisine. Another reviewer pointed out that the owner was formerly a CNA but that their CNA license was not renewed; this fact was mentioned as a concern by at least one reviewer rather than as praise. These items suggest prospective residents and families should confirm whether the facility’s menu options and clinical capacities align with their needs before committing.

    In summary, Vividus Senior Living is portrayed across reviews as a clean, well‑run, small residential community with an attentive, compassionate staff, good food, and strong family communication. It is highly recommended by multiple reviewers for seniors who need supportive assisted living in a home‑like setting. Families considering Vividus should, however, evaluate clinical needs carefully: the facility does not offer skilled nursing or respite services and is not appropriate for moderate to advanced dementia. Prospective residents should also confirm specific cultural meal needs and ask any questions about staffing qualifications or licensure if that is important to their decision.
