ALTA VISTA SENIOR LIVING

I can’t say enough positive things about our family’s experience at Alta Vista. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. The staff went out of their way to make sure my mother felt at home, and their attentiveness gave us immense peace of mind. The rooms are comfortable and bright, with plenty of natural light and space for personal touches. The common areas are cozy and encourage social interaction, which has done wonders for my mother. One of the biggest highlights has been the staff. Every team member we’ve encountered has been compassionate and respectful. Bea in particular has been wonderful. She treats residents like family, and it truly shows. Their executive director, Jennifer is also great and she’s a nurse as well which is a plus. The level of communication has also been a relief—they keep us updated regularly and are always responsive to our questions and concerns. Meals are well-balanced and tailored to dietary needs, and there are a variety of engaging activities each day. Choosing assisted living is never an easy decision, but Alta Vista made the transition smooth and reassuring. We feel incredibly lucky to have found a place where my mother not only feels safe, but truly happy. If you are looking for a great experience for your loved one, reach out to their marketer Susy for a tour.

I recently moved my in-laws in Alta Vista and they couldn't be happier. Everyone we meet is so nice and helpful and has made this transition go so smoothly for them. They love the food, their room and all the activities the facility has to offer. Special thanks to Carrie Compton. I couldn't have got their room set up without her help.

The tour was great and Carrie did a thorough job of showing this facility. She also worked with my unpredicted change of time. The facility is nice and clean, but could use some updating and touch up paint in worn areas.

Alta Vista does not look like much from the outside, but the indoor renovations are superb. They really went all out with the remodel. The common spaces are light and bright and the renovated apartments are nice and inviting. The proximity to Tri-city medical center is a plus. On my tour, I appreciated Carrie’s honest and caring approach to sales. She even thought of a great option for interim care that I had not considered. Don’t let the dated exterior deter you. Take a tour and be pleasantly surprised.

I have been visiting Alta Vista Senior Living (formerly Vista Village Senior Living) since 2018 as a Visit Captain with my therapy dog "Chewy" for Love on a Leash (LOAL) - San Diego North County Coastal Chapter, a non-profit therapy pet organization. I work with Rachel, the event coordinator, to arrange semi-monthly LOAL visits. I bring 2 to 5 pet therapy teams with me to visit with residents in the main community room in front and we finish our visit in the memory care side of the building. The residence are very interactive and enjoy the visits. I like that there are two patios we are able to bring our dogs out to for a break and we usually happen upon a resident or two on the patio to visit with as well. We were not able to visit during lockdown safety measures for 12 months, but are now able to start visiting again. We are so glad to be back in there connecting with the residents, sharing our dogs with them, and exchanging life stories. I noticed the building interior underwent renovations beginning late 2019 and is quite beautiful. I particularly like the new flooring, furniture, window dressings, and the oversized framed pictures of outdoor hobbies and sceneries that line the hallway walls. The ambience is calm and relaxing. There are several recreation rooms and a huge calendar of events posted on the wall near the reception desk. The calendar shows many daily activities, resident birthdays, fun holidays and events to look forward to. There are welcoming signs out front advertising tours daily. I recommend you take a tour and see for yourself if you are looking for a senior living residence for yourself or family member.
