For Carter, building a career at Vivie means constant learning, real support, and meaningful relationships. His connection to senior living started young, volunteering alongside his mom.
“You learn a lot of funny stories and cool stories… the history is really interesting to learn.”
A humble start that lead to a meaningful career.
When Carter first joined Vivie in maintenance, he found leaders who trusted him to grow. That trust led to new skills, leadership development, and a promotion to supervisor of environmental services. From River Heights to Walker Place, Carter is an example of how you can grow across Vivie.
“They gave me freedom to learn and ask questions and try things out and fail and then try things again.”
Experience that builds you up and is anything but boring.
Carter has found that in his career with Vivie, each day brings variety.
“A lot of my day is responding around the building, so it can be something new every day, from fixing a dryer to fixing a wheelchair. I really like learning something new every day.”
But the job is about more than tasks—it’s about connection. “I've been on call and fixed air conditioning and made sure everyone's safe and comfortable.” And sometimes, it’s about slowing down.
“Being present and meaningful… is really fulfilling.”
Carter values the culture and support around him. Residents call themselves his “bonus grandparents,” and that sense of belonging fuels his growth.
There’s a place for you here.
Carter isn’t just maintaining buildings—he’s building a future. And you can build one just as meaningful with Vivie.
