I visited this facility

I like Valley View Village very much. I'm looking for assisted living for both of my parents, and so I need a two-bedroom unit, but they don't have anything available. Nevertheless, the staff members were very knowledgeable. They gave us all the information we needed. They were able to show us the campus there and show us all their amenities. It was very nice. The cleanliness looked great. We didn't see anything that didn't look up to par. The apartments were fine. They didn't have what we …

I am/was a resident of this facility

I stayed at Valley View Village. I liked that they had mechanical soft food for people that have trouble choking on their food. There were smaller apartments for people that want a cheaper place. They had a refrigerator, and they had a stove, but you can't use it. They want you to eat in the dining room. They provide three meals. They had two nurses on duty and on-call all the time. They have a couple of patios and parking lots to go around. They had card making.

I visited this facility

The staff at Valley View Village seemed welcoming and the place was good. I needed an apartment for my son, also a one-bedroom, which they did not have available in the same building that I would be in. So I didn't really look further into it. They were updating their rooms and they looked good and accommodating. They were changing the carpet and I had requested if I could have laminated flooring throughout and they were willing to do that. Their dining area was good, but it depended where you were. You might …

Most of the daytime staff in memory care are attentive and want to help residents. Weekend and some night staff not so good -- maybe understaffed, maybe lazy and they wait for morning crew to arrive. Our relative experienced falls, lost items like eyeglasses, and it was "not Valley View's problem." Executive Director is bottom-line thinker, insincere. Scheduled "meetings" with administrative staff, resident and family were "have to do this" to make family feel Valley View is liste…

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

My mom has moved into Valley View Village. It's an open, friendly, clean environment. However, the least part of it is the inability to make a connection phone-wise without all kinds of extra intervention on the staff's part. I don't like the price, but I don't have any choice in that. It just seems high, but everybody is high. The staff are good at keeping me informed periodically on how my mom is doing. My mom doesn't eat much, but she says the food is good. She doesn't participate v…
