PARK VISTA RETIREMENT& ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITY

My senior friend Bill was placed in Park Vista by some mean-spirited (well meaning?) church members who took his house and confined him to a 460-Sq/Ft room with barely enough room to turn his wheelchair around. I lived in a Navy Barracks Room that was larger than these tiny rooms. Bill tells me that the staff often wakes him up late at night to take his meds after he has already gone to sleep! He is being charged over $8K/month for the teeny, tiny room they have him sequestered in. He has an electronic wrist band that supposedly calls for help, but they often either don't respond or take more than 1 hour to respond. I wish we could move him to a better assisted living facility!

Visited in December for my mom who is moving from Texas. We arranged a tour with Julia just before holidays. The lobby was decorated with a big gorgeous Christmas tree and throughout the building was decor for the season. We are not easily pleased and really were worried about the process of getting into just the right place. Knowing that no place is going to be perfect, we ultimately decided on Bonaventure and aren’t disappointed in the least. The apt was recently painted and new carpeting installed. Everything seems clean and maintenance was working to install new closet shelves. We like that everything we wanted was included in the price of monthly rent. If mom needs to convert to assisted living, she can stay in same apt and services will be upgraded at a higher cost but at least she’ll be in same place. Everyone we encountered was friendly and said they liked living there and had made good friends in short time. Julia was our tour guide and showed us a lounge area where they have happy hours, sewing room complete with drawers of fabrics, tv room for watching on big screens with popcorn machine, game/puzzle room, crafting room, library, private dining rooms plus beautiful back patio. The restaurant or cafe treated everyone like fine dining restaurant. Busy during bfast & dinner but it’s my understanding that can take either meal in her room as she chooses. We are almost ready to move mom into her new place and she’s very excited. Julia has gone above and beyond by returning the many texts and questions, she is very cheerful and genuinely seems to care about the residents. We have had a very positive experience so far. If there are any glaring concerns I feel like we’d know quickly. Everyone we met is very open and willing to share their experiences. If mom wants to cocoon in her place that is fine too. No pressure at all to participate in activities but they have them daily. Will take pics and post before and after move-in.

My uncle Teddy brought his mom, Thelma here this past summer. When I came to visit I was blown away at how friendly the staff was and how delicious the food is. Brent the server was fantastic in his diligence for making sure her tomato juice was never empty. Christina who runs it was very attentive and detail oriented at getting Thelma moved in and comfortable. Whenever I go in there I feel like she is everywhere at once! Thelma got a perm at the in-house beauty salon, probably her best ever. ❤❤❤
