★★★★★
PositiveThey are all very friendly, made my mother in law feel at home right away and made sure she didn't feel lonely. I do think that they should maybe offer more activities and the food is very bland and not the best tasting.
★★★★★
PositiveI am so please with the care for my brother. They have taking him in as a special resident as they all in their care. No worries of medication giving and keeping excellent track of not running out of any medications. Awesome staff and love activities. Very happy with meals he is please with living here
★★★★★
CriticalThe title is a quote from the Director of Assisted Living. This place has suffered a significant decline in the quality of service since my Dad moved in 5 years ago. The worst parts include the emergency call system not working (a constant problem over the past 5 years, that persists to this day) over worked poorly trained staff, persistent problems and mistakes with medications management, and worst of all is the management simply ignoring, lying or deflecting blame for these and other problems. Staff in all units…
★★★★★

★★★★★
PositiveThey do a very good job and treat the people in the assisted living facility very nicely. It's a big community, and it's been a good experience. The facility, the staff, the food is all good, For the longest time they couldn't do activities, but my loved one has enjoyed what they've offered, including movies and exercise classes.
★★★★★
PositiveI would tell others that this community is good for memory care residents. Mountain Vista has all levels of care. This was important to myself and the family; that our loved one is able to stay until end of life.
