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.
