Spring Hill Senior Home Earns Triple Gold for Third Straight Year

How a Small 8-Bed Home in Spring Hill Won 9 Readers’ Choice Awards in 3 Years

Spring Hill, United States – July 6, 2026 / Aliviya Rose Manor /

Aliviya Rose Manor, a boutique, RN-owned assisted living community in Spring Hill, Florida, has swept the 2026 Hernando County Readers’ Choice Awards, earning Gold in every category it entered: Best Assisted Living Facility, Best Memory Care Community, and Best Senior Living Community.

The triple-Gold result marks the third consecutive year the 8-bed home has received recognition from the community it serves, bringing its total to nine Readers’ Choice awards since 2024. Alongside that milestone, Aliviya Rose Manor has also received the “Best in Senior Living” title from Assisted Living Magazine.

A Three-Year Award Journey Built on Consistent, Personalized Care

The recognition did not arrive overnight. In 2024, Aliviya Rose Manor entered the Readers’ Choice competition and returned a Gold, a Silver, and a Bronze across its three categories. In 2025, the home improved its standing, earning a Gold and two Silver awards. In 2026, the community completed the progression in full, claiming Gold across all three categories simultaneously. Taken together, the nine awards over three years reflect a steady, year-over-year pattern of recognition from Hernando County residents who have observed the home’s approach to care firsthand.

For families researching assisted living Spring Hill options, the consistency of that trajectory carries weight. Awards built on reader votes depend on community trust, and Aliviya Rose Manor has earned that trust across multiple award cycles rather than in a single standout year.

What Sets an 8-Bed Home Apart in Senior Living

Aliviya Rose Manor operates as a small-scale, intimate residence – a deliberate design choice that shapes every dimension of care delivered there. With just eight beds, the home maintains low staff-to-resident ratios that allow caregivers to learn each resident’s routines, preferences, and needs in a way that larger facilities typically cannot replicate.

That structural difference is central to how the home approaches both assisted living and memory care in Florida, where residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia benefit meaningfully from stable, familiar environments and consistent one-on-one attention.

The home is owned and operated by Wendy Schabilion, a registered nurse, whose clinical background informs the standard of care Aliviya Rose Manor maintains on a daily basis. Before opening Aliviya Rose Manor, Wendy served as a hospice nurse in the local area, where she spent time inside many different care environments and witnessed firsthand the growing need for a smaller, more personal, home-like model of senior care.

That experience became part of the driving force behind her decision to create a place where seniors could receive compassionate support, clinical oversight, and dignity in a setting that felt like home.

That history makes the community’s recognition especially meaningful for Wendy. The awards are not simply professional milestones; they are a reflection of the very need she once saw as a local hospice nurse and chose to answer through Aliviya Rose Manor.

Wendy is also the author of two books on the assisted living process, helping families better understand the emotional, practical, and clinical decisions involved when a loved one can no longer safely live alone. In addition, she is a certified trainer in Teepa Snow Memory Care, an approach focused on helping families and caregivers better understand brain change, dementia-related behaviors, and more compassionate ways to support loved ones through the progression of memory loss.

That combination of hospice experience, nursing knowledge, authorship, family education, and memory-care training gives families more than a place for their loved one to live. It gives them access to guidance, teaching, and support during one of the most difficult seasons a family can face.

Recognition from Residents, Families, and Industry Peers

The Hernando County Readers’ Choice Awards are determined by public vote, which means the results at Aliviya Rose Manor reflect the experiences of families in the surrounding community. Earning Gold in the Best Assisted Living Facility and Best Senior Living Community categories speaks to how the home is perceived across a broad cross-section of people who have either placed a loved one there or know those who have. The simultaneous Gold in Best Memory Care Community adds a layer of industry-specific credibility, recognizing the home’s specialized approach to cognitive care.

The additional recognition from Assisted Living Magazine, which named Aliviya Rose Manor “Best in Senior Living,” extends that validation beyond the local level. The publication’s recognition places the home alongside senior living community programs evaluated on a broader editorial standard, reinforcing what the Hernando County vote has reflected three years running.

“These awards mean everything to us, because they come from the families and community members who have trusted us with the people they love most,” said Wendy Schabilion, RN, owner of Aliviya Rose Manor. “Before opening this home, I worked as a hospice nurse in this area and saw how deeply families needed a more personal, compassionate option for their loved ones. That is what makes this recognition so rewarding. We are a small home by design, and every award we receive is a reminder that the intimate, compassionate approach we believed in from the beginning is truly making a difference in people’s lives. My heart is not only to care for our residents, but also to help families understand what their loved ones are experiencing through brain change, so they can walk this journey with more confidence, patience, and compassion.”
