From the moment I arrived at Sunny Vista Living Center (SVLC), I was treated not only as a patient but as a valued guest - a term that truly reflects the atmosphere of this amazing facility! The care here is kind, loving, and deeply respectful. Every member of the staff is incredibly patient and attentive without being overbearing. They have a protective, nurturing approach that makes you feel safe and supported, which is especially important during such a vulnerable time. What stands out to me most is how equally everyone is treated. You truly cannot tell a full-on Medicaid resident from someone paying privately. There's no hierarchy - just genuine care and dignity for each person. The entire staff (except maybe the kitchen staff) go out of their way, everyday to make each resident feel seen, heard, and valued. I'm writing all this because too often reviews come from moments of frustration or anger. But places like SVLC deserve recognition for getting it right - not just once, but consistently. If you, or loved one are considering a short, or long term physical rehabilitation facility, please, by all means, consider SVLC. This is a place where healing happens in both body and spirit
My mother has been a resident in this place for nearly a year and a half now and at the top of my list of complaints is their severe lack of adequate nursing staff, especially CNAs and those who are actually responsible for providing for the everyday care needs of the residents!! Thankfully I live less than 10 minutes away from Sunny Vista because my mother requires assistance with getting herself wiped off after having a bowel movement on the toilet in the bathroom because of her two hip replacements, pelvic reconstruction, and neck surgeries. As a result of these as well as other surgeries she is also in chronic pain and cannot remain sitting on the toilet for very long before she starts to experience severe pain. Over the course of the last year or so my mother has had to call me on the phone crying in intense pain pleading for me to come over to Sunny Vista as soon as I can to help her get wiped off and get off the toilet and back in her wheelchair after putting the call light on and then waiting for AN HOUR AND A HALF OR EVEN LONGER with still no body responding to her call light for help! This has happened multiple times in the last year. UNEXCEPTABLE!!!
Writing on behalf of my mother: Sunny Vista has been a blessing to my mother and to me in so many ways! The nurses and CNAs are committed to providing the best care possible (and they do!). In addition to these exceptional team members who interact with my mother on a daily basis, she is also taken care of by an entire "care team." I meet quarterly with the following departments: Nursing, Social Services, Life Enrichment, Rehab/Physical Therapy, and Dining Services, where we cover "anything and everything" as it relates to her care and her experiences there. These meetings have been extremely valuable and worthwhile. Additionally, the Admissions Director has been extremely supportive to us (even visiting my mother when she was hospitalized), and the Business Office Manager has been amazing and very helpful as we have navigated through some complex items. The Social Services Director is fantastic and is quick to return calls and answer any questions that I may have. The Executive Director is also very approachable and personable. From the moment I walk through the door, I am greeted with a warm smile and I always feel so welcomed. The decor throughout is warm and very tasteful and the building is kept so clean. It truly feels like a home. My mother really enjoys the food; it is healthy and nutritious. She has a beautiful private room with a wall of windows, and she has her own private (large) bathroom. She is so lucky to be able to call Sunny Vista Living Center "home." I feel so blessed to have her living there.
My Mom has had to have several skilled rehab stays over the past few yrs. She recently had a rehab stay at Sunny Vista and it was the best experience she has had thus far. The staff was very attentive and kind and always made her feel safe and welcomed. We had interactions with the admissions coordinator, social worker, medical director, providers and nursing staff. All were top notch! Thanks again to all for making a difficult circumstance much more enjoyable!
I give this place a 5 Star this facility is extremely gorgeous and CLEAN!!! Everyone there is so super friendly and take really good care of my mother with all her health issues. My poor mom has been in and out of so many rehab places that never really cared about the individual and just do their job. Here I see them go above and beyond even to make her food selections for her meals. If your looking for a rehab place this is the place for sure!!!!
