Summer Vista Assisted Living seems good. I'm not really getting any feedback from my mom who has a little bit dementia, whether they're doing her laundry. They're supposed to be changing beds and washing her clothes. I haven't contacted them to see how often they do that, if they have to go in and make sure they get the items from her. I'm not allowed to visit her. It makes it really hard to watch after your loved ones when you don't have any hands-on to actually go in and see them. I can't get in there and her memory is not good enough to really know what day she's supposed to have her laundry ready and all that stuff. Communication with the staff started out when my mother first got there. The nurse would call me almost every day once a day for about the first four days, but I haven't heard anything since then from them on how she's doing. I have to contact them to get anything, but so far, so good, as far as I know. I had no idea what the kitchen looked like. I took a small desk with a chair because they take all their meals in their room, so she could have a place to eat.

If your relative is independent then this is a good place to live, but the assisted living help is not
good. The employees are very friendly, but there is never enough help in an area of the facility. Numerous Calls have gone unanswered after hours. Some of the nurses are great and done are not. Food service is of hospital quality not a high end assisted living facility. Seems the main goal is to cut costs and save money. What you see in the tour may not be what you get. This all goes back to management. I Would not recommend unless you plan to stay on top of a loved ones care or they don’t need any.

It is a beautiful and clean facility with spacious rooms. In my opinion, the "assisted living" part would be fine for people who require very little or no help - in other words, independent living. After a few months of what we considered very poor service, we felt we had to move our loved one out. The staff to patient ratio seemed inadequate. We didn't feel it was safe because the people working the floors were either not responsive at all or very slow arriving when called. They weren't even visible until called most of the time. The dining room staff is slow and unresponsive as well. I felt the same lack of interest when I brought these issues to the attention of the management. We want to be able to trust the people who care for our loved ones, and know they care and have their best interests in mind. I don't recommend this place to anyone unless you are fully independent and are able to care for yourself. This is our fourth elder-care facility due to moves and increased need for assistance. It has been the only one we found to be unsatisfactory.

We put our mom in Summer Vista. It is a lovely, beautiful facility. It is an ALF, and it has a memory care unit in it. I think the memory care unit there is unsatisfactory to us. It is overcrowded, and the layout is not comfortable for the patient. I love the ALF, but not the memory care. The memory care unit is clean, and the staff is nice.

Summer Vista is brand new, lovely, clean, bright, friendly, and nice. I told the manager I would move in myself. I liked the concept; they had a very nice memory care area. Some of the rooms have little porches that open into a corridor with little chairs, and it was really neat. It was just a beautiful building with friendly people.

Summer Vista was brand new, newly opened, and nice, but it wasn’t close enough to home to visit Mom.
Memory Care Reviews for Summer Vista Assisted Living

My dad started out in the assisted living of Summer Vista and then we moved him into memory care because he's more suitable for that. I absolutely love this community, I can't say enough good things about it. It's a nice place, the people are very personable, accessible and they communicate well. The best thing is that it's only a mile away from my house. I love the staff here, they're top grade. I also like their accommodations, it's an extremely nice community. I have not personally tried their food, but I've glanced at the menu and have walked by a couple of times while they're eating and it looked good. From what I've seen, I like their activities. The people in memory care seem to be busy, they have a lot going on. In memory care, they have crafts, they have activities, and they did a Christmas project. They're very limited in what they can offer to memory care in terms of activities, for obvious reasons. It's very reasonably-priced for what you get; it's a great value. There are a couple of places that are cheaper, but the quality is not what you get at Summer Vista.

Summer Vista was very nice, and the memory care facility was nice, but it was very close to the airport. It was also a little bit further away from my mother's doctors and the hospital she likes to go to. The room wasn't that large, but it would have been sufficient. It also didn't have a built-in closet area. The price was good, but as the level of care went up, so did the price.
