Musician and composer Michael Ward-Bergeman brought the spirit of New Orleans to Grand Arbor by Vivie during Alexandria’s Beat the Winter Blues & Jazz Festival. Residents enjoyed a lively performance that filled the community with rich music and shared moments together.

This concert was made possible through Vivie’s foundation. We’re grateful to the generous donors who help bring experiences like this to the people we serve.

Sharing a little love goes a long way. Our team at Northfield Retirement Community by Vivie partnered with Wish of a Lifetime’s Cupid Crew to hand out more than 200 roses to residents across campus. 🌹

Each rose was a simple reminder that you’re seen, valued, and cared for. We’re grateful to Wish of a Lifetime for the opportunity to work together and honor the people who call our community home. 💙

Valentine’s Day is about more than romance — it’s about appreciating the relationships that make our days fuller.

From friends who make us laugh and family members who bring us joy, to the people who support us in everyday ways, these moments matter.

Join us in celebrating the connections that make life brighter.

We’re still feeling the momentum from the LeadingAge Minnesota Institute and Expo in St. Paul.

It was a meaningful few days of connection, learning, and shared purpose across aging services. Being together with so many people who care deeply about supporting older adults and strengthening communities is a reminder of what this work is all about.

We’re proud of our Vivie team members who presented, and grateful to be part of a field full of true change makers.

In partnership with Vivie’s hospice team, BIO Girls of Alexandria spent their service project day at Nelson Care Center by Vivie. Through their handmade Valentine’s cards, these young leaders brought warmth and smiles to our residents. It’s a beautiful example of what happens when generations come together.

We’re grateful for this partnership and for the opportunity to create moments that enrich lives.

For Carter, the best part of working at Vivie isn’t just fixing dryers or wheelchairs—it’s the relationships. Residents call themselves his “bonus grandparents.”

That sense of connection is what makes his work meaningful every day.

Winter days at Timber Pines by Vivie are full of movement, creativity, and simple joys. From cardio drumming sessions that get hearts pumping to hands-on arts and crafts, residents are staying active and engaged all season long.

A favorite activity was making edible bird feeders to hang outside. Now the fun part begins—waiting to see which birds stop by for a visit.

Together, these everyday activities fill the days and help keep the Timber Pines community vibrant year-round.
