Aviva Pembroke is a senior living community in Virginia Beach, Virginia, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care support. Serving 33 residents with a 58-bed capacity, the community’s occupancy rate is currently at 57%, which is significantly below the Virginia state average of 85.7 percent. The community has open availability, which benefits families seeking immediate placement without waitlist delays.
Regarding regulatory history, the community has undergone six inspections on record, which is well below the Virginia average of 14. 50% of which involved violations, which is below the state average of 64.3%, suggesting a comparatively lighter compliance burden. Additionally, the community has accumulated 20 total deficiencies, lower than the state average of 32. Earlier citations included issues with medication administration timing, staff tuberculosis risk assessments, and individualized service plan documentation. However, the most recent inspection on October 10, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies. No fines, license suspensions, or immediate jeopardy findings were reported.
The community has a variety of amenities that stand out among Virginia Beach assisted living options, particularly with its indoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a bistro and coffee shop, and rooftop happy hours. On-site dining with an award-winning chef, outdoor green space, covered parking, and pet-friendly accommodations are also available, along with one, two, and three-bedroom floor plans, which provide flexibility for those who prefer more spacious living arrangements.
Offering a moderately sized community that provides more privacy and personal space than many traditional senior living options, Aviva Pembroke is best suited for older adults seeking a vibrant, amenity-rich environment with the option to age in place from independent living through memory support.
