AVIVA Merrillville sits in Lake County and serves families in Merrillville, IN, along with nearby Crown Point and Schererville. It's memory care only. Residents wear a keyless entry device that opens their own door, carries an emergency alarm, and has a locator for anyone who wanders. So your loved one can move around the building on their own while staff still know where they are.

Memory Care at AVIVA Merrillville

The community cares for dementia from early to end stage. Your loved one wouldn't be one of a few residents with dementia in a building built for something else. The intent is that they can stay as things change. Certified Dementia Practitioners are on staff, and the community lists these supports:

• 24-hour supervision and emergency response
• Secured entrances and exits
• Licensed staff on-site 24 hours a day
• Care coordination with healthcare providers
• Physical therapy
• Special programs and outings for memory loss

Pricing at AVIVA Merrillville

AVIVA Merrillville lists memory care rates starting at $3,240 per month, so you have a real floor to budget against rather than a guess. They don't list what your loved one's level of care adds on top once someone has assessed how much help they need, or whether there's a community fee. One request through Get Pricing gets you the current monthly price and what your loved one's level of care adds, so you're comparing like with like.

They're a hotel-like stay, with a qualified Certified Dementia Practitioner on hand. They don't list a rate for short stays, and their website isn't clear on whether it's priced by the day. One request through Get Pricing gets you the rate and whether it's daily, so you'll know whether a two-week break is workable.
