Viva Senior Living at Albany offers both Assisted Living and dedicated Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as their needs change. A speech therapist is available for residents recovering communication skills, and the team can coordinate respite or short-term stays for families who need temporary support. Staff members are trained in diabetes management, including monitoring blood glucose and assisting with specialized diets, to help residents maintain stable health.
Additional clinical resources are delivered on site to minimize outside appointments. Hospice professionals visit when end-of-life care is required, nurses oversee daily medication management, and caregivers provide incontinence and ambulatory assistance. Physical therapists and a podiatrist schedule regular rounds, while programming is designed to meet the needs of people living with memory loss, reinforced by a secured environment and an enclosed courtyard. Brain fitness software and pet-focused programs are available to help maintain cognitive function and emotional well-being.
Accommodations range from studios to larger layouts, and not every residence includes every feature. Depending on the apartment selected, residents may have wireless internet, kitchenettes, balconies, patios or decks, and views of landscaped outdoor areas. Housekeeping, climate control, and handicap-accessible floor plans are available, and resident parking is on site for those who still drive.
Dining is offered throughout the day rather than on a rigid schedule. A professional chef prepares three daily meals, with options for vegetarian, low-sodium, and no-added-sugar diets to support individual health plans. Guests can join residents for meals, and the staff hosts occasional barbecues and picnics for a change of pace.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, fitness and stretching classes, Wii bowling, raised garden beds, cooking demonstrations, and sensory-based and intergenerational programs. Regular social events include birthday and holiday parties, clubs, dances, educational talks, and community outings.
