We’re celebrating a proud moment at Aviva Hills. Our Canton, Ohio, community has earned Best Assisted Living recognition in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Senior Living ratings.
For residents, families, and staff, this is an honor to share together. It recognizes a community built around personal support, everyday connections, and respect for the people who call Aviva Hills home.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve older adults and their families throughout Canton and Stark County.
Resident and Family Feedback Behind the Recognition
When families begin looking into assisted living, they often want to hear from people who know a community firsthand. An apartment tour can show you the space. Residents and their loved ones can offer a perspective on daily life.
The U.S. News Best Senior Living ratings draw on resident and family satisfaction surveys. Their feedback helps evaluate areas such as caregiving, dining, activities, management, and staff.
That makes this recognition especially meaningful to our team. We value the conversations that help us understand how residents feel, what families need to know, and where we can improve daily life.
Helping Families Stay Involved
A move to assisted living changes a family’s routine, but being involved in a loved one’s life remains important.
At Aviva Hills, family members have 24-hour access to the community. That flexibility helps make room for visits around work schedules and other responsibilities.
For families in Canton and the surrounding Stark County area, staying connected can mean spending an afternoon together, stopping in for a conversation, or sharing updates with our team.
We welcome those relationships. Families often help us learn the details that make care more personal, from a longtime preference to a recent change they’ve noticed. Keeping that conversation open helps everyone better understand a resident’s needs.
Personal Assistance That Respects Your Routine
Accepting help can come with mixed feelings. Someone may welcome relief from difficult tasks while wondering how much control they’ll have over their day.
Our assisted living services are designed to support both personal needs and independence. Residents can receive assistance with daily activities and medication management, with care tailored to the individual.
Getting to know a resident is part of that process. We want to understand which tasks they prefer to manage themselves, where they would welcome help, and what makes them feel comfortable.
Those conversations help us approach assistance with respect and give families a clearer picture of how support fits into everyday life.
Comfortable Spaces and Opportunities to Connect
Feeling at home also means having familiar comforts and choices about how to spend your time.
Aviva Hills offers private apartments with kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, and walk-in showers. Housekeeping and laundry services help with household responsibilities, while chef-prepared meals accommodate dietary needs and preferences.
Throughout the community, residents can take part in activities such as art classes, fitness programs, spiritual pursuits, and scheduled outings. Transportation is also available for appointments and leisure activities.
Whether someone wants to join a group activity or enjoy a quieter day, having options gives them room to find their own rhythm.

We’re proud to celebrate this milestone with you.
