Review for Alta Vista Senior Living

I would recommend others. Food is really good and lots of social activities. My mom is loving Alta Vista senior living. It was a rough first couple of months but she has grown to really like it now.

Family Experience

The help staff can be a lot better. Little things need more attention, such as making sure his little refrigerator can be looked at to see if everything is working right. That is just an example of the many things that can be better. A couple of times I had to get the Executive Director to respond to some of my concerns. Also, the food could be a little better.

Our experience

Honestly, 5 across the board. The staff are all very nice and very supportive. The med techs have always given her her medication's timely. They wake her up when needed for her appointments and help get her out the door for pick up. They have live music a lot of times my mom wakes up for breakfast gets dressed and does not go back to her room all day because she's busy doing activities.

Overall a nice community.

What we like the most about Alta Vista is the facility and staff are great but you still need to be proactive and bring any issues immediately to their attention. So they can address it.

Alta Vista Senior Living

Our dad was at Alta Vista for three weeks. He fell five times in six or seven days. If they are totally independent then it's a good place. However, they are understaffed at night. Before we moved him in he needed help going to the bathroom at night. That was our main focus. I don't think I told you he fell 5 times in six or seven days because they were not checking on him. We got him out. He was only there three weeks.

Mom is happy here!

I am truly pleased with Alta Vista. My mother (90) lived with me for the last two years I was her full time caregiver. We wanted the best for her, of course,but it was necessary for me to go back to work. I am so pleased with the care and kindness she has received this past month. I was so nervous about how she would respond to not being with family but she repeated tells me how happy she is at AVSL. She has been welcomed by staff and already has a group of friends. They have wonderful activities that vary and she is excited for everyday. Thank you Alta Vista! You are definitely a 5 star facility. [name removed] the executive director is so kind and goes above and beyond to make everything perfect for my Mom. Thank you! We are both more than pleased with our choice in assisted living at Alta Vista

AVLS Facility

The staff here are friendly and helpful. The activity director [name removed] is always committed to provide fun events and decorations for the Holiday and the different seasons of the year. She makes the events enjoyable and gets folks here to participate at social events. We really notice & miss her sparkle when she is not at the music events. The staff members are always ready to give assistance. A real plus to make one feel comfortable here.

Alta Vista is pretty good. You have to stay on top of them for questions and answers

My experience with Alta Vista is ok, not great though. The staff is pretty good. They can stand to hire more personnel. The food is OK, it can be better. I believe the facility need more outside activities.

We live 75 miles away and if there is anything they think we would like to know we get a call. A couple of times [name removed] was having trouble with her phone and one of the staff made the call to us on [name removed]'s phone. The nice part about that was we were able to talk to the staff member and [name removed] at the same time. Very nice people to work with.

Mixed Results

In terms of quality there are re couple bright spots in staff. This is helpful in dealing with the issues that invariably come up. But generally the care is not commensurate with the cost. And the constant requests to renegotiate the cost is oppressive. We chose the community based on presentation, people care and cost. Our expectations were immediately impacted after contract signing and upon move in when the day of move in they attempted to renegotiate the cost and care level. A virtual bait and switch that came with the "well if we can't come to an agreement we may have to cancel the agreement". It made an already extraordinarily stressful situation incredibly more stressful.

Has room for improvement

My mother recently passed [date removed] however the care that she received while staying here was adequate. She started out in independent living and was transferred to memory care where she lived until she passed. The staff seemed stretched thin and flustered at times and I would get different answers from people at different times when I would ask for updates. I appreciated their willingness to work with my mother's financial restrictions.

Review for Alta Vista Senior Living

I would recommend it for sure. I wish they kept the rooms a little cleaner and it wasn't so pricey, but the rest of the facility is kept clean. I would say it's a wonderful place and they take really good care of the residents. I feel great about my dad being in a safe space with great food and friends.

Dad is well cared for

All the staff that I have encountered are very caring and helpful. My dad has taken to calling many of them his friends. The days are full of activities from crafts to "happy hour" Fridays. I appreciate that they have a non-denominational chapel service every Sunday, which my dad enjoys.
