PositiveExcellent tour provided by [Name removed] including discussion of 4 topics of special interest to me - med management, 3 healthful meals per day with diabetes-friendly menu choices available, daily exercise opportunities, if a 185-lb resident falls to floor, assistance capable of getting resident back on his feet. Lovely location overlooking Bayou St John, that is deeply imbedded in New Orleans history, and incidentally in my family's history also. My grandmother grew up on St. Ann street in the French Quarter. Tra…

PositiveReview for SummerHouse Vista Shores
The service was amazing. Very helpful and compassionate. My Mom got a single room with a kitchenette, and private bathroom.

CriticalReview for SummerHouse Vista Shores
It was a mediocre experience and I'm not sure our loved one felt special or deeply cared about except by a minority of care providers.
★★★★★
PositiveLovely location, staff that makes you feel like family
The location of this facility is great and the staff is great. Apartment sizes are very nice and maintenance folks have been responsive when needed. The staff are all super nice, across the board. The only issues we've had were related to some inconsistent housekeeping while they had some turnover but that all seems to be resolved
★★★★★
PositiveWish we moved here sooner
The head nurse, [name removed], is amazing. She is also in charge of the care staff. Everyone was so professional and thorough in their care of [name removed]. When sheets or clothes needed changing, it was done immediately. When he went into hospice and died, they were supportive to the end. I cannot say enough good things about Summerhouse. [name removed] had been to two other assisted living facilities before that, and there was no comparison. We wish we had moved him there sooner.

PositiveVista Shores is exactly what we was looking for in a community for our mom. We were blown away at how happy and we’ll take care of all of the residents were and the wide variety of activities that are offered. We toured and noticed how clean and well kept everything is! My parents were members of the original country club that the building originally was to Lake Vista. We toured other communities and none of them had near the outdoor space compared to here with the benches along the bayou and the walking paths (not…
