I am/was a resident of this facility

By far the largest number of residents at LaVidaLlena are in the Independent Living areas, so it is a very active community. My husband and I moved here in 2015, both fully mobile but seeking a place where we knew we would be taken care of should we need assistance. He died three years ago without ever staying in any of our care units, but we did have help from several nurses and aids right in our apartment during his final illness. They were unfailingly cheerful, competent and professional. For the past year durin…

I visited this facility

La Vida Llena was great. It felt very warm and welcoming. The residents were happy. It goes all the way from independent living to skilled nursing care. They had no openings at the time, but there was a waiting list. They had transportation to places and because it's multiple care level, it seemed like a happy place. I saw a lot of residents walking around. They had a dining room, meal plans, a separate little grill area, and a little convenience store where they had hot dogs, chips, and candy. I felt very com…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

We have friends in La Vida Llena. It's very nice. My friends are very happy there. The wife has developed memory issues but she is well taken care of. She is very happy about that.

I think it is very good because if you have only one place to eat, no matter how good the chef is, you're going to be tired of the food repeating and repeating. I saw the schedul…

La Vida Llena is lovely but you have to buy into it, and they offer all the activities. It’s like a really nice fine hotel; you have a tablecloth and a menu.

I visited this facility

I was at La Vida Llena as an invited guest. The facility is new and very beautiful. The location is also very good. It just opened this year. It would definitely be my choice, but it’s expensive. I would highly recommend this place if you had the money. We looked at the apartments and they were nice. We had a light lunch there with a salad and a dessert and it was okay. We were nicely treated by the staff. They were knowledgeable and all our questions were answered. They have different things going on like movies, …
