Food is terrible. Staff is nice. Noise is constant.

I had my mother transferred here. I sorely regret that. My mother was a highly decorated Army veteran at the rank a Lt. Colonel and a university dean. While that may not mean anything to this facility, nor does it mean special treatment or attention, it does mean she, like any other human deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. At 48 hours into her being admitted I signed my mother out AMA and took her home! The staff does not acknowledge you. They are too busy gossiping amongst themselves. I saw a caregive…

My mother stayed here for three days until we could get her transferred to another facility. She developed a fungal infection bed sore in this time. She waited hours for water.

My father in law spent over a month here and is in the be…

Vista Knoll Specialized Care Facility was my favorite place to be in. The grounds were beautiful with trees and flowers, and I'd go out there in my wheelchair. They get you dressed every day, which I did not find in other places. I would go to lunch and then go outside and sit under the trees and just listen to my music, which I loved doing. They made my being away from home a lot easier. I didn’t care so much for the staff, because a lot of them were very young and they would goof off a lot. They would come i…
