Highly recommend

They are all very friendly, made my mother in law feel at home right away and made sure she didn't feel lonely. I do think that they should maybe offer more activities and the food is very bland and not the best tasting.

I visited this facility

Mountain Vista Senior Living is a clean good place. They have many choices of rooms. The person who assisted me was excellent. He answered all my questions, was straightforward, and was personable. He was great. They have activities, but I couldn't list them because generally, my dad is not a joiner. They have a physical therapy area, a garden area, an exercise room, and a music room. They have transportation available. It was very impressive. Everything was clean.

"Worst It's Ever Been"

The title is a quote from the Director of Assisted Living. This place has suffered a significant decline in the quality of service since my Dad moved in 5 years ago. The worst parts include the emergency call system not working (a constant problem over the past 5 years, that persists to this day) over worked poorly trained staff, persistent problems and mistakes with medications management, and worst of all is the management simply ignoring, lying or deflecting blame for these and other problems. Staff in all units…

I visited this facility

I didn't find anything that I liked about Mountain Vista Senior Living (Vista Village). It was very dated and it seemed cold. I didn't see any residents out in the halls or visiting or anything. We got there at 12:05, and there was not one person in the dining room, and I was kind of curious about that because the staff said that the lunch was from 11:30 to 12:30, and there wasn't anybody in the dining room. That was concerning to me. The rooms were filthy and dirty. The carpet was horrible. She said…
