November 12, 2024Hi friend. If there ever comes a time when you would like to talk, please give us a call. We will be there.
My mother entered the memory care unit in December 2023 and the staff has been wonderful ever since. Everyone worked very hard to help her get adjusted and feel safe and secure in her new surrounding. I can’t say enough about the kindness expressed by office staff, therapy workers, housekeeping, nurses and aides, both to my mother and to our family and we will be forever grateful!

I am incredibly grateful to have found Vista, Veranda for my mom. From the moment we walked through the doors February 2023 we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism by the staff. My mom had to leave for a few months and when she returned the staff and residence were at the door to welcome her back with open arms and love. I can’t tell you how this had such a positive impact on her and us. The facility is always clean, organized, and inviting, which gives me great peace of mind. My mom enjoys the variety of activities they offer, from Bingo to social events. She often shares what she had for dinner and how much she enjoyed it. She feels like she is home. The staff is attentive and communicates with me regularly about my mom’s care and any updates. I’ve noticed a positive change in my mom’s well-being since moving here, and I can’t thank the team enough for their kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Vista Veranda in Ravenna.

My mother was at a different facility. The care there broke my heart. The lack of caring was so sad. We found the Vista Veranda and I feel so horrible I did not look sooner. The care here is so wonderful. The aides are very caring. I can tell they have a great work ethic unlike the previous facility. I live a few hours away and I definitely feel good knowing my mother is well taken care of. The aides are always engaged with the residents here. One last note is the cost here is [removed] less than the poorly run facility. I would never put a price on my mother’s care but it is so sad we pay so much and the care was heart breaking.

There is not enough room to convey all of the positive thoughts and feelings that our family has regarding the care and concern that out parents received at Vista Veranda. Their kindness and willingness to help is unapparelled. They are treated our parents like they were their own family.

September 19, 2024Thank you for recognizing our efforts towards perfection. We will never be perfect, sigh. But we have never give up trying.
I've been appreciative of the care, activities they provide for the residents as well as the planned monthly family events. The consistency of a major part of the staff lets me know it's being managed well.

September 19, 2024Thank you for your review. We have a good team and the management stays consistent for years and years. That's part of what makes this a peaceful place.
I would recommend Vista Veranda to others. The food is of good quality. The staff is responsive to the family. The housekeeping is okay. The move in process was on our own. However, when my Aunt moved from the assisted living unit to the memory care unit, the staff moved all of the furniture.

September 19, 2024We continue to strive and wish we could help more in all areas of our residents' lives. We partner with our families and offer as much as we possibly can. Thank you for sharing. Your thoughts are important to us.
All questions are 5. If higher ratings were available I surely would give them to all the staff. They know the family, all come up to the family. Regardless which department. They talk about my mother and know her. Nurses the best, see them almost every visit and talk about my mom's wellbeing. Again this goes for all assistants. Kitchen and housekeeping. Again the best. Also entertainment staff. Vista is the home I have never experienced. This is a very nice home for my mom.

April 25, 2024Your mom is part of your family and ours. So are you, for that matter! We appreciate the partnership that comes together between Vista Veranda and our families. Our goals and focus come to a single point which is the success of our resident who also happens to be your loved one.
My mother's major complaint is the quality, quantity of the food. Too many repeat meals. She also wants more activities.

Response from Vista Veranda
February 29, 2024Thank you for your review! Could your mom want more specific activities? We are eager for requests for both activities and our menu. We are available individually to listen to concerns and offer a monthly meeting to try to gather information from our residents and families so we can make adjustments toward their interests. Could you come to us to help us better understand how we can improve the experience for your family? An example of what we were able to accommodate once informed of a resident's interest: We have a resident who mentioned that she missed pickles. We were not serving pickles because we did not know any of our residents who wanted any. If we offer items randomly, then we could easily waste food, money, time, and energy. To be responsible, we have to be calculated. Once we learned that our resident wanted pickles, we added pickles. Then we ran with it and added fun activities around pickles. Our Dining Manager even made pickle themed t-shirts. We would like to hear more details so we can run the race for you and your mom, too.
My Dad lived at VV Memory Care for almost 2 years. In that time, I would see the same staff working with him - which is so important for dementia residents. The food is tasty. The activities are enjoyable and encourage socializing. The nurses kept me informed of any health issues. They felt more like a second family taking better care of him that I could.

October 4, 2023Your dad and your family have been a very special part of ours.
It took us a while to finally move my mother from a rehab facility to assisted living but it is so much nicer. The staff is wonderful, they know my mother’s name and constantly greet her. They are very encouraging and go out of their way to be helpful. I am very thankful that we have mom at Vista Veranda .

October 4, 2023Your mom is a fun person and greets us just the same! We enjoy you all and are equally grateful.
I visited Vista Veranda often and over a period of a few years, delivering library materials to residents. It is has warm and homey atmosphere, staff are friendly and caring. There are an exceptional number of activities, both on and off site, that residents can participate in. My experience was always positive and the residents I served were happy and content with their living arrangements. If my own parents ever needed care, Vista Veranda would be at the top of my list.

October 4, 2023Thank you for serving our residents and equipping us with resources that bring fulfillment to our residents' everyday life.
I can't say enough about my Vista Veranda experience. It came at a time when my Mom was getting to the point where she needed more help than her kids could provide. My brother works 60 hours a week, my sister was battling cancer, and I have MS. Having her own apartment made Mom still feel independent, yet there was always someone just a push of a button away. Mom was always treated with respect and dignity. Vista Veranda made a difficult situation a lot easier. Talk about peace of mind! It was so a relief knowing that Mom was safe, well fed, and had all the assistance she needed including medical help if need. Again, I can't say enough about this wonderful place!

October 4, 2023Your family and mother brought us all closer together. We appreciate that we are still in close touch with you.
Vista Veranda provides a loving, caring home environment for its fortunate residents. The staff members treat their community members as kindly, efficiently and thoughtfully as they would their own family members. Both my mother and my aunt have resided at Vista Veranda for over a year, receiving attention to their diversified medical, emotional and physical needs. Many outside and in-house activities are readily available for those interested in participating, as well. The friendly staff always provides open communication channels with family members of their residents. My family feels very fortunate to have our elderly mother and aunt in such a blessed and safe environment. We highly recommend Vista Veranda for your needs.

October 4, 2023You have a special family that is lively and deeply interested in the daily happiness and fulfillment of our residents. We appreciate your support in their success as well as our's.
I have worked as the contract PT in the Vista Veranda community now for 6 months. I have been a PT in this industry for 30 years. I can truly say that the residents come first in this community. I have witnessed the way resident concerns are handled. Each resident is listened to and their concern is addressed, even if it seems to be something small. The nursing staff is amazing always making sure each resident is well cared for. The facility is going through several administrative changes with the remaining staff handling each change in a professional and effective manner. Each department, from marketing to culinary to housekeeping, is able to treat these residents with the respect they deserve. I am very happy to be working here.

May 30, 2023Thank you! You have seen first hand our investment in our residents. They are very special people to all of us.
This was a very difficult decision to move our mom into assisted living. The whole Vista team made it as painless as possible. Now that our mom has lived there for a few months, she is thriving! She has her own personal space, yet someone is there if she needs help. We love the family activities and of the outings provided by Vista and the amazing team there. We couldn't have found a more perfect place for our mom.
