Aviva Senior Living

Aviva isn’t the biggest — and that’s by design. We believe smaller means warmer, closer, and more personal. Here, every voice matters, and every resident shapes the heart of our community.

At Aviva, Christmas Day is all about community coming together around delicious food. Our residents were treated to a special Christmas Day brunch full of delicious creations from the Aviva Culinary team. We were so fortunate to be joined by our friends from the Lakewood Ranch Jewish Club, who helped serve brunch and bring extra joy to our day!

We hope everyone who celebrates had a truly wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to an incredible New Year!

Happy Holidays! ✨ There are few times of the year more filled with love than the winter season!

As we come together to celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and more, we are naturally reminded of reflection and gratitude—and how joyful community can be.

At Aviva, our Benevolent Care Program is the ultimate expression of that gratitude. It ensures that the peace and stability of home are never lost, even when life's circumstances shift.

This benevolent fund guarantees that qualified residents who have outlived their financial resources never have to leave the community they love.

Join us this season in giving the gift of permanent security and continued joy. Your donation keeps our tradition of care strong!

As we get ready to light the final candle of Hanukkah 2025, we are still enjoying all the fantastic moments from this past week.

Our Hanukkah celebrations this year kicked off in a big way as our residents were joined by the Sarasota Jewish Chorale, who helped us light the first candle with plenty of song and celebration!

Continuing our look at all things Hanukkah 2025, we are so thankful for the amazing students and staff from Temple Emanu-El who joined our residents on Monday for some special holiday fun!

Residents at Anchin and Kobernick worked alongside students to put together Hanukkah cards for our Memory Care residents. After crafting, the group joined with Rabbi Brenner for some favorite Hanukkah songs!

Hanukkah 2025 has been one for the books here at Aviva! While we still have a few more nights of celebration ahead, we are looking back at some of our favorite moments so far.

Starting off strong, on Wednesday, our Aviva residents welcomed the incredible voices and talent of the internationally acclaimed a ca****la group, Six13. Joining us before their live concert, the guys from Six13 brought their signature contemporary take on beloved Hebrew and Yiddish songs.

Our concert quickly turned into a sing-along as our residents joined in, creating a true symphony of sound that filled the halls of Kobernick.

Six13 has created a whole new crowd of fans, and we can't wait to have them back on campus in 2026. Be sure to check them out on social media and YouTube!
