Vista View Post-Acute is a nursing facility, so you have nurses going back and forth, and there are CNAs. The physical therapy is great. You see housekeepers taking the trash out, sweeping, and mopping. They're always cleaning. I go three times a week, and everybody's working hard. They can get their nails polished. I went there last Tuesday, and while they're eating their ice cream, they're doing puzzles and coloring. My mother-in-law doesn't care for the food that much. It looks like hosp…

Life Care Center of Vista was good. The food was better. The care was better, and the aides were more pleasant and helpful. Of course, you had some that weren't, but a majority of them were. The room was well lit and kind of spacious. It was pretty and clean too. I had a pleasant and satisfying experience.

My wife was in the center following a heart attack and horrible treatment at another facility. The nursing care is very good, Amanda, the charge nurse was excellent. The wound care was excellent. Christopher and Tim the cnas were very polite and attentive.My wife has been in 4 care facilities in north county and this was , by far the best. Laraine even liked the food. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Vista Life Care!!

Life Care Center of Vista is a little bit limited. We couldn't take my mother out for walks because they didn't have a garden. However, for the rehab, they really did a good job. Like they would take her to physical therapy, and when they had music, they would invite her to go and listen to it. They were helpful, but the facility itself is a little bit more limited than the other one, as far as the ground is concerned. They did have an activity room, but it was much smaller and a little darker. Also menu …

Worst care imaginable!! My father-on-law stayed at this facility for one week exactly (3/3/17 - 3/10/17). When he was discharged from UCSD to Life Care there were orders for him to get oxygen as needed, this center refused to administer oxygen to him and was unable to perform his physical therapy because his blood pressure would drop. They never administered his suppositories and they never gave him water when he needed it. He was dehydrated all seven days! Whenever we asked for them to do something the nursing per…

I visited my friend her after her knee surgery at the nearby Palomar Hospital and i was impressed. My friend stayed there for 8 days and had everyday therapy, she said the staff are great and the rehab team did amazing with her treatment. i visited my friend at Life Care Vista 4 times and the place smells good and very clean.there is an outdoor patio in the 1st floor where my friend's room was and it was a nice area to spend time and visit with her. i recommend this place base on my friends good experience.
