Exceptional staff, activities and food

My dad was placed in a housing community with the most incredible staff. They were very kind and accommodating with us, and seemingly all love what they do. They have tons of activities and my dad is having a blast. I am so grateful for A Place For Mom for getting me connected in a timely manner!

Friendly staff, very clean

My father in law recently became a resident at Bella Vista. They were extremely helpful with the move in and the transition to senior living for my FIL. They seemed genuinely concerned about making him comfortable in his new surroundings. There are a lot of activities and different clubs that residents can sign up for. The property is clean and well maintained.

Happy with Bella Vista

The food is always great; it sometimes takes a long time coming out when the dining room is busy. They occasionally seem understaffed. Activities seem adequate from what I've seen. My mother does not participate much so it's hard to know firsthand. The activities director and other staff are all super friendly and helpful when I am there. Any maintenance issues that have come up are noted and addressed.

Friendly, professional staff and an amazing facility. There is a very inviting breezeway as you enter the dining area where you'll enjoy delicious meals, and great options to help you create the perfect meal for you. Each unit seems to be tastefully decorated, while leaving enough for you to fulfill your creative impulses. Check this place out. It's conveniently located.

Great staff

I would give 5's across the board, although my Mom is in independent living so hasn't been receiving care. We just started medication reminders and that has gone well so far. Staff seems really good about dealing with dementia; that is what decided for me. My only negative comment is that a few times her meals have taken about an hour to arrive from the kitchen. Dont know if that is by design, or because they are short staffed.

Bella Vista experience

The concierge we're always extremely helpful when I needed directions anywhere. Always got any problem fixed in a timely manner. The food was always edible, but that would be a personal opinion. I have a one bedroom and it is adequate for my needs. The only thing lacking is a space for my desktop computer. I am now relegated to using a laptop.

Bella Vista Senior Living review

There are plenty of activities available, and they have access to the independent living activities as well. The staff has been very communicative. It Never smells and is clean. I like how the residents have an option to have a primary care provider come to them, [name removed] , NP. She calls me after every visit with my aunt. She has been great.

Highly Recommended

Staff is extremely friendly and very helpful to all the residents. Housekeeping is very professional and does an excellent job of cleaning the apartments. They keep in communication with your family. When needed, they will call them and they get to know your family. Meals are excellent quality. Taste good, great variety and many good options to choose from. The move in process was vey easy and the staff was extremely helpful and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this senior community to a senior looking for a friendly and welcoming environment. It is also centrally located to Banner Hospital and stores.

'Nice community with room for improvement

Activities & amenities are nice (library, craft room, theater etc) Downsides / problems for us have been: - billing - we provided ACH info when we signed & they did not run her first month's rent & didn't tell us till the 20th. Then communication/ responsiveness resolving it was poor. - In-apartment cleaning: she's supposed to get a 2x a month cleaning and they haven't done anything at all yet. We asked and they've told us twice she isn't on the list and they'll add her. - food is OK. - staff has been a bit impatient for her asking /saying the same things repeatedly, which is odd when memory issues are the whole reason she's there

Best place for Dad & Mom

When it comes to the friendliness of the staff, the meals and dining service and the overall value for cost - those receive a 5 +++. The community is clean but there is construction going on - so not always being super clean is to be expected. For the care services, we haven't needed any care but the staff members do care about you. They never serve the same meal twice in a month and so many different types of desserts. They do need more activities and need to take out the bus and do things out of the unit. I live going over there to visit - everyone is so friendly and loves visitors. He's only been there a few months and they have been making amazing improvements every day, I would like to see them get the residents motivated and doing more activities, but more and more people are moving in each day so Im sure they will start coming - Thanks for helping me find the best place for Dad
