Bella Vista

The staff and residents are beautiful and caring people. They take the to talk with you and listen to you. There are not enough words in my vocabulary to give the praise they deserve. Every time I visit there I come away with a good feeling.

I think that I would recommend Bella Vista to others. My mom's biggest complaints are about the food and how long they have to sit for the meals, but she does like all of the activities that they have for the residents.

I am so happy with your help finding a place for my brother at Bella Vista. He is very happy there.

Overall the management team is fantastic! My father really likes them. He is less sold on the food. They seem to have had trouble keeping staff, and the food is not to his liking about 50% of the time. However, he can be picky!

what we really like about this community is that they have a gracious plenty of activities; my mom has jumped into most of them and is having a ball. Given the chance we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

If you have the money to live here we would recommend them based on our experience so far, but it is expensive. The staff members here are very friendly and very confident which is something we like. We have enjoyed our stay very much so far. We have not had the chance to participate in the activities yet, but they look really good.

I would give the staff a 5 out of 6 if I could, they are wonderful. I with this facility because of the convenient location for our daughters to get here, the price was right for what all they offered, and the facility itself is outstanding. I have a 2 bedroom apartment on the first floor and I am very happy with it. I also have a wrap around porch which was a big selling point as well. I would tell others looking for a retirement community to seriously consider Bella Vista.

It is a nice place to live. The residents and staff are very friendly. It would be nice to have an additional option for assisted living to stay here longer. The food is very good and well balanced meals, and we have chefs on site.

We love Bella Vista, it is a fantastic place. Our loved one has happy as can be there. We like how they have doctors making house calls constantly and how they have mountain home care there to help with any health issues regarding our loved one. The staff is extremely friendly and have done a great job keeping up constant communication.

I think overall this is a great place. The community residents can be cliquey and not very welcoming. The staff is very friendly and the community is kept very neat and clean. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

We do think the value is very good, and we like the location and the accessibility of the community. From our understanding we do think they are able to do small activities but the main activities are limited, and we have not had the meals ourselves but they seem to be taking good care of our loved one.

We chose Bella Vista because of the staff members, they were very friendly and helpful and the residents we saw seemed to be happy here. The apartment sizes are satisfactory for our needs. The food here is just alright, they are chef prepared meals, but we are being told we are getting something for dinner and they change it at the last second. They also do not offer enough quality foods, I am tired of chicken. But overall, I would easily recommend this community to others.

The facility itself is lovely. It's light, bright, airy, inviting, has room to breath, elevates mood, and there is no unpleasant odor. I feel cleanliness is an area for improvement. The commons areas, and especially the hallways, need more attention. When we first moved my loved one in, there were two staff teams. The main team was absolutely phenomenal. They were dynamic, had energy, motivated the residents, and paid close attention to everybody there. Shortly there after, there was a staff turnover and the new team falls short of what the lead team provided. I feel the new team is questionable. The food is standard in quality. There isn't enough food and they often run out of it which is just unacceptable.

This looks like the same place as Whispering Pines in Raleigh. It's a wonderful looking place, lots of windows, etc, but no real kitchen, and the same set-up with managers living on site, and dinner being like a boarding school, where you HAVE to be in your seat at a given time and then be quiet while they come in and read what is for dinner that day. Too restricted and regimented. (Also at Whispering Pines the manager was somewhat "not caring" about a lot of our issues and was almost rude about some. But that has no bearing on Bella Vista, just saying though.) Bella Vista is probably prettier because of the gorgeous setting, but still too much cookie-cutter and similar to ours here. (I love the awesome wooden floors in the apartment Tammy sent me pictures of! THAT is what an apartment should look like! Windows all over and wooden floors! LOVE IT!) Other than the whole dinner thing, and there being no real kitchen, the place itself looks real nice and I know they do a great job with the layout. You never feel lost in the halls, like at some places. It's very smartly arranged and has a nice open feeling.

Great place they have everything and seem to truly care about their residents. The cost is not in our price range unfortunately.
