In 2025, Viva executed on rapid, but planned growth by doubling its management portfolio and taking on communities in new states. Thanks to the company's rapid growth, Viva is scaling systems and building out operations to support its growing base of nearly 2,000 employees. The expansion centers on assisted living and memory care communities, with Viva leaders embracing and preparing for the senior living industry's acuity-driven future as clinical needs become more complex and older adults wait longer to enter communities.
In 2026, Viva will continue to integrate its latest communities into the fold and expand the company's leadership development efforts to cultivate talent from within. Senior Housing News reporter Austin Montgomery discusses these changes with Viva's Chief Operating Officer Christopher Metternich and Chief Strategy Officer Heather Terhark in the newest episode of TRANSFORM.
