Keeping Residents & Families Connected
Vivage and WellAge Senior Living continue to work diligently to implement heightened Infection Control and Prevention in all of our communities. We also recognize the increased importance of connectivity and communication during these times, which is why we utilize an innovative platform called LifeLoop. This tool is designed to engage family members and most of our individual communities send out regular updates through this system to keep families involved and updated.
Routine COVID Testing Being Conducted at Vivage and WellAge
Residents and employees residing and working in a community setting are at higher risk for infection from COVID-19.

All of our communities follow CDC, state and local health department guidelines for conducting routine COVID testing for employees and residents.COVID Vaccines Being Given to Employees and Residents in Vivage and Wellage Communities
