Aviva West Hartford delivers Assisted Living, Independent Living and Memory Care on one campus, allowing residents to transition between levels without relocating. The community is equipped to manage complex medical needs common to aging adults, including residents who wander during the day or night, show exit-seeking behaviors, remain awake overnight, require oxygen therapy, or take oral diabetes medications. Advanced dementia conditions can be accepted, and elopement prevention measures are in place. On-site clinical coverage includes a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse in the building, with a nurse on call around the clock. Visiting professionals provide podiatry, audiology, dental care and therapy services in a dedicated treatment room, reducing the need for outside appointments.

Daily support extends to full assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting, while staff can provide some help at mealtimes for those who need it. Transfer capabilities span standby supervision, walker and wheelchair help, one-person or two-person assists, and full Hoyer-lift transfers. Security features include door alarms, a community-wide pull-cord system and personal emergency response pendants that alert staff. Background-checked caregivers work awake overnight, and an activity director organizes structured programming seven days a week, including options tailored for memory care residents.

Resident apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls and cable service; not every unit contains every feature. Personalization is encouraged, and residents may paint or decorate with their own items. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided by staff, and maintenance handles repairs.

Dining offers both a set menu and on-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day and a private dining room for family visits. Diet accommodations include gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, pureed, thickened-liquid and vegetarian choices. Independent Living residents have an additional slate of services: medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry and a monthly meal plan that can be expanded as needed.

Amenities and services on the campus include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty salon, exercise and wellness rooms, a movie theater, library, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, special-interest clubs and scheduled transportation with access to nearby public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
