Tenant Testimonials
"It has been six years that I have had the opportunity to work with Aviv. During this time Saber Healthcare Group has grown from 5 to 37 facilities, enabling me to interact with many people in the industry. Aviv and Craig Bernfield have not only been the most honest and straight forward people to work with, but I truly can say they feel like a partner, not a landlord. Craig has been an inspiration and guiding light through our growth - not only in regards to their properties but with many issues and transactions. It has been a pleasure doing business with them over the years and more importantly I have gained new friends."
- George Repchick
Saber Healthcare Group
"There are two factors that set Aviv apart from other institutions. First, your relationship is a partnership. It's not banker/borrower or landlord/tenant. It's a working partnership focused on helping you improve all aspects of your business. Second, you can trust them. Times have changed and people have changed in this world. At Aviv, you have a constant in that you can count on them to keep their word. Everyone is straightforward and honest and Aviv stands by their commitments. Zev's legacy is intact."

"I have worked with Zev and Craig for a number of years now. What distinguishes them is their commitment to long term business relationships. With that commitment comes integrity, candor and a helping hand in the tough times. That focus in my case has resulted in a long term friendship as well. I would do business with them any time, anywhere. In what can be a tough, unforgiving business environment, it's always a pleasure to do business with Aviv."

Chairman & CEO of
Sabra Healthcare Group
"There cannot be a better business partner than Aviv Asset Management! Craig Bernfield and the team at Aviv hold true to their belief that trust and relationship is the core to a successful relationship. In today’s environment, it is refreshing and comforting to know that partner’s such as AVIV exist. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could not have acquired and developed the quality properties that we operate without the trust, expertise, understanding of the market and the belief in what we do that partnering with Aviv has afforded. Every facet of Aviv’s operation is of the utmost quality and their staff makes doing business with them a true pleasure unlike any other relationship I have had in over 15 years of operations. I consider each and every person at Aviv a friend and confidant and the partnership is one that I intend to be a part of for many years to come!"

ConvaCare Management, Inc.
"Aviv distinguishes itself from other financing sources in the health care arena with its focus on the people behind the deals. Craig Bernfield and his team perceive more value from the integrity and practical intelligence of operators than from pure financial metrics. While Craig and his team employ plenty of business savvy and common sense in evaluating deals with existing potential lessees, his investment of faith in my character, background, and business plans has allowed my nursing home company to initially get off the ground and to steadily develop over the past twenty years."

President of Eagle Healthcare, Inc.
"Deseret Health Group has been doing business with Aviv for the past 5 years and I have worked with Craig Bernfield for the past 10 years. Our business relationship has been one of the best in my career. As a developing company, we have found Aviv willing to partner with us in achieving our growth objectives. Throughout our relationship, their management team has been professional, courteous, and supportive to Deseret. We value their advice and knowledge of the industry. They are a loyal partner. We look forward to a future with Aviv in furthering our growth as a long term care provider."
- Jon Robertson
Chief Executive Officer of Deseret Health Care, Inc.
"We have worked with Aviv (and its predecessor) for approximately 15 years. It has been a good relationship from our perspective and we believe mutually rewarding. The facilities involved were "turnaround" situations which required some flexibility in the structure of the transactions. We have found Aviv to be a willing and able partner and we look forward to further mutually beneficial endeavors."
- Doug Mittleider
President of Altacare Corporation
"Sun Mar Management is proud to be included in the Aviv family of facilities and can wholeheartedly salute its wonderful relationship. Sun Mar draws upon many years of experience with landlord/tenant arrangements and can assuredly affirm that the Sun Mar / Aviv bond is one of mutual respect and commonality. During the course of our enterprise, Sun Mar and Aviv have not only engaged in a fruitful and profitable partnership but of equal importance, have cultivated and generated a very warm and truly genuine bond. Sun Mar has always felt comfortable calling upon Aviv for advice, guidance and sometimes even just a shoulder to vent its occasional frustration. They have always been there for us and we feel very confident they will continue to be there in the future. Sun Mar is pleased to express its heartfelt appreciation to the entire Aviv family for its many years of friendship and association."
