Prestige Senior Living at Colonial Vista

Prestige Senior Living at Colonial Vista is an older community. The gentleman who ran it sold it. It's very nice, but it's large, so you have to do a lot of walking. Their apartments for couples are larger and most of them have balconies, but they were decaying a little bit. So even though they have banisters, I could see my dad falling over. The huge cafeteria is decorated in old yellow and orange colors. It just seemed like you were going back to the 1960's or something. The people there are very nice, and they have someone watch the memory care residents every hour. It's just a little bit run-down, but it's not that bad. From what I saw, I thought their pricing was pretty fair. They add certain levels of care at certain points, like when they need help with things like bathing or showering, and that would cost a certain amount of money extra. One thing I like is once you get in, if you stay there for three years, they just take what Medicare pays after that. When I got there I made the mistake of going to the wrong place, but the guy who accommodated me was very nice and caring, and offered to walk me where I should go. The rooms were clean and had amenities like chairs, so you are able to sit down in the shower, and so on.

I’ve chosen Colonial Vista, and it’s working out fine. I like the accommodations on the fourth floor since I have a good view across the Columbia River to East Wenatchee. I haven’t joined in on too many activities yet, and I keep rather busy on the computer. The food is very good, delicious, very edible, and has a nice variety. I don’t turn back too many empty or partially full plates.

My husband is in Colonial Vista, and he has been there for seven months now. We are very happy with it, and they take very good care of him. They are just very good, and I am very pleased with them. They got a good staff, and they take excellent care of him. They have numerous buildings and he is in the Colonial Main. It is assisted living, but I think they go a little beyond it with their help. They have a lot of activities, and they do very good with dining and food. There is a lot of food and a lot of variety. I am happy where he is.

I visited Colonial Vista a few months ago, but I am very familiar with it because I was the family caretaker for someone who lived there for several years, and I went several times a day. The rooms were always kept clean. The girls that cared for her were very patient and very loving. I just have nothing but good things to say about that facility. If you need assisted living or nursing care, that is in the same facility, and that was very handy for the people. They would have musical groups, they would have church services, and they would have people that play cards. Everyday there were activities. I was there a lot, and I don’t have any complaints.
