Viva Senior Living at Harrisburg offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to care plans that can be adapted as their needs change. The community accepts people who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, exhibit behavioral issues, require wound care or oxygen, or need diabetes management through oral medications, injections, or sliding scale protocols. Staff members are also trained to support residents living with advanced dementia conditions, and individualized care plans are adjusted to address special diets and other physician-ordered requirements.
Around-the-clock oversight is delivered by an on-site RN or LPN, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, an awake night-shift team, and building-wide security coverage. All employees complete background checks, and emergency pull cords or personal emergency response systems alert staff at any hour. A dedicated activity director coordinates daily programming, while a podiatry service and a therapy room allow residents to receive routine foot care and rehabilitation sessions without leaving the property. Personal care assistance can range from standby support at mealtimes to full help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and the staff can accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, one-person or two-person transfers, and standby or supervised moves.
Resident apartments may include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the room; however, not every unit provides every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the monthly package, reducing the burden of chores and keeping living spaces tidy.
Meals follow a set menu with snacks offered between dining periods, and a private dining room can be reserved for family visits or special events. The culinary team manages physician-ordered and preference-based diets, including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid options, so residents can follow their prescribed nutrition plans without complication.
Amenities include pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, religious services, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
