Vi at La Jolla Village

Vi is spectacular, but it’s way out of my league. It’s a true life care, and I would recommend it to anybody who has a lot of money.

Vi is a wonderful place, like a 5-star hotel, but the people there were older. It was absolutely gorgeous with beautiful floorplans, but we don’t like to be in a confined area. You’re living like in a hotel and there are people around you all the time. They have everything you would want there, like valet service, ta limousine, and shopping across the street. I saw people painting in an art class. It’s an absolutely outstanding facility, and I think it would be a wonderful place if I’m going on a vacation for a few days.

My dad stayed here after having hip surgery. The staff is wonderful and took very good care of him. Some of the physical therapy people could use and attitude adjustment but still did a good job helping him.

We visited Vi at La Jolla Village. The staff was fine. It was very elegant. They had an indoor pool and a gym. They had a trainer if you want to get specialized training. They had valet parking. They had two high-rise buildings, and it was very closely monitored.

Vi at La Jolla is really top level service. My mother-in-law is in a facility similar to that, so we took a tour, saw one of their apartments, and saw the level of care and what recreational facilities they had. The thing we like about that location is that it is right in the middle of an area in San Diego called UTC, which is a shopping center, and it is very close to the University of California San Diego. You can practically walk there to the shopping malls across the street, where there are movie theaters, bookstores, and lots of things. And then, they also mentioned there's going to be a trolley that goes there and you can take the trolley down to San Diego, but they also have driving services so you can get around within 12 miles, and they have lots of activities. They'll take you to your doctors' appointments for no cost if it is within 12 miles, and there are lots of medical facilities around there -- there is Scripps, the VA, and the UCSD Medical Center. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but only two of them are included in your monthly due.

At Vi, everything was great. The place was nice; everything was nice. However, it was too expensive to me. The rooms were medium -- not small, but not really big either. They were a decent size.

Vi at La Jolla Village is definitely first-class. The rooms and the dining room are excellent. They have a health facility there where they take care of you as your health deteriorates.

I've chosen a place. It's Vi at La Jolla Village. They seem very nice and very welcoming. The food is very good. The amenities are very nice. There are different sizes of rooms. I have the 850-square feet. Regarding security, they have their own monitoring system. You wear a bracelet or a necklace so they know where you are at all times.

Vi was excellent. I was in a private room there for almost 3 months. A lot of people were in double rooms. The staff was very good. I was cared for by nurses after surgery. I think one of the problems they have is that they are also a teaching hospital. They send a teacher and they work in the facility. That’s a turn off to me because they’re in training. I don’t want to be paying that kind of money to be treated by somebody who’s in school. The food and dining facilities were excellent. They have very good choices. They have a private dining room where you can sit and eat by yourself or eat with others or you can have guests. They also have an excellent therapist. I was happy to be there.

My relative has been at the facility for about 9 years. First in the independent living area and for the last couple of years in the skilled nursing section. Since the management team changed about a year and a half ago, things have steadily worsened. The problems include short staffing at times, improper peri care, unsafe transfers in and out of bed and onto the commode. Linen supplies have been short lately and beds are made without clean linens (happened twice in 2 months). Management has been made aware of these issues but shows no concern about fixing them. Short term residents, rehab only residents, don't experience this full range of issues. But most of the ong-term care residents have experienced poor care more than mangement will acknowledge. Releatives talk to one another and there isn't a single one that has no "war story" to tell. While this place may be one of the star locations, it is not without some major issues.
