Vista Shores

Vista Shores is nice, newer, and larger than the other places I visited. I would rate the campus better than most of the others.

My visit with Vista Shores was good. One of the things we liked was that you could eat whenever you wanted in the dining area and did not have to come down at a certain time. They were more flexible with the eating schedule. The facility was very comparable to the other one I visited. The staff was good. They had a lesser level of nursing care; one of the questions we asked was if they had anybody who could drain a catheter bag for someone, and they said they didn't have anyone who would do that. They had an activities room and activities schedule with exercise classes and social activities that you could participate in.

My mom moved to Vista Shores, and it fits the best for our needs. They have different activities like bingo, movies, and happy hours. Their amenities are top-notch.

I visited Vista Shores Assisted Living. It's very nice and clean. For me, it's a top of the line facility. The rooms were very nice, spacious and clean too. They had all kinds of games for the residents to play. I really like the facility, but the problem is we can't afford it.

We looked at a couple of facilities and Vista Shores was a lot nicer. It seems to have more activities. It was more like a hotel setting, and not like the other places we saw that just looked like dreary hospitals, and my mother is still very active. She just has dementia, so she wanted to be around people. She wanted to have activities and this place met her needs. The staff is wonderful. They are very friendly, very helpful, and very upbeat whenever we are there. The food is wonderful, it's restaurant style meals. They have a chef from a hotel restaurant that is very popular in New Orleans. He cooks restaurant style meals everyday with a beautiful presentation. They can even come from 7am to 7 in the evening. They have one meal a day, which is lunch, and that would be something special. I tasted it myself, and it was fabulous. They have really good meals, lots of fish, and it is presented in a very appealing way. It looks nice, and not like a cafeteria. Her room is beautiful and spotlessly clean. They do housekeeping and laundry once a week. They decorated it the way that she wanted, it is very roomy, and it is just very nice. It looks like a hotel in the hallways. And, there is a dementia care on the third floor that she could move into if she gets worse, so she would not have to leave that facility.

I have already selected a place. Mother has been at Vista Shores for about 3 months. I chose it because of location. They have happy hour, movies, bridge, bingo, entertainment. The food is very good. The staff is very knowledgeable. I think they're all great. They all do a very good job. She's doing fine.

In Appreciation Letter From A Resident To Vista Shores & Staff I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to the management and staff of Vista Shores for the manner in which our recent severe cold weather was handled. As a resident I observed that everyone didn’t miss a beat. Our meals were served as usual, our rooms cleaned, and ALL the activities continued without interruption. Thanks to ALL for a job well done Dr. Frank Incaprera, MD

I did visit this community after reading the review and didn't get that impression of the community. I do like the fact that the residents were very friendly amongst each other and the staff was delightful! Lunch was great....still looking for my in-laws; but they are in our top 3 picks....to each its own!
