At the time it was the only place we could get her and my FIL in together. We have since moved her to another facility. We wish we had VV closet to us. We are very unhappy where she's at now. It's very friendly. Nice.... Read more

The marketing woman you deal with in the beginning was amazing and phenomenal, she is so sweet and thorough. She went above and beyond in trying to make the transition as easy as possible. Everything started out fine, within a few weeks they wanted us to bring in extra therapists to help out. They were encountering anger issues and added some more medications to help calm her. We spoke to the speech therapist and she had good reports and was making good lead way with her. I do not think that the staff members were trained to handle her and they sent her to a psych ward. This facility was just not a good fit for my sister and the type of care that she needed at the time.

September 27, 2021Together with our families and staff, we work for the dignity and safety of our residents. We respect our role as advocates for our residents which sometimes includes transitioning that person to a different type of care. Finding the right fit can be challenging. We work through the entire process. We go to places for families; interview incoming residents, sometimes numerous times in hopes of gaining enough insight that everyone is comfortable moving forward. We continue to be here as a resource for you and your family.
The community is very neat and clean and the staff is all very nice and helpful. Communication between the staff and the family were very good and informative. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

September 27, 2021We have been honored to care for your aunt, a sweet and wonderful person.
My mom has lived at Vista Veranda for almost 2 years in Assisted Living and now Memory Care. I highly recommend the facility to others for their loved ones. I feel she is safe and well cared for daily. She praises the food often and has expressed that the cook must have some of her mother's recipes. ?? They can also provide the therapy necessary that she needs and she is thriving and progressing under their care. When I go to visit her, I experience the friendly/caring environment for the residents' families also. What more can a daughter ask for her mother?

June 21, 2021Families like yours make our community successful. We are part of the same team who share in the same mission.
We were glad when we found a place as nice as Vista Veranda with a dedicated staff that was able to help us care for our mother in her last year with us. When she moved in no one knew that a pandemic was looming around the corner. It became more difficult than anyone would have imagined that it would be. Everyone's world was turned upside down. I personally thought having mom in a care facility would be like what your normal used to be. We were pleased to know although it was difficult for all involved, especially mom and the other residents, we had a good group of dedicated people looking out for mom. It is with great appreciation for your kindness and caring of our mother [name removed], that we ask that you accept this gift from us. If at times you feel discouraged, or underappreciated with the situation, know that taking care of your residents helps their families and has a profound affect on their lives. Thank you for all you do.

As an entertainer, I have the opportunity to experience many different retirement communities. It is always refreshing to find one that is so invested in the comfort of its residents.

December 10, 2020You and your mom have been a very special part of our community.
My father spent 2 year at Vista Veranda. The staff treated him as if he were a member of their own family. They have a dog who would head to my dad's apartment to visit with him. When my dad has a difficult time breathing, she was there. It meant so much to both myself and my dad. Truly a great place for a family member.

December 10, 2020Thank you! We appreciate the care you give our residents.
We chose Vista Veranda because it seemed very homey and welcoming when you walk into the door, it did not seem institutional. The staff members here invited us to come to have lunch with them and I sat with a couple residents and my mom with other residents. We got the chance to talk with them and were able to get feedback from them about their experiences. The lunch was also delicious and sold him on moving in here. The facility is all on one floor, so you don't have to worry about stairs or elevators. They have handled the whole COVID virus very well with testing and visitation etc. I would recommend this community to others.

My mother lived at Vista Veranda last 2 years. The staff were very attentive and caring to her needs. They hosted many different events throughout the years for the year for the clients and their families which were very nice. Although my mother did not participate in many of the daily activities, they had a nice variety of activities for the clients. During the COVID-19 shutdown, they kept us in touch with brochures there through Facebook, and facetime and updates thing through phone calls. Very nice facility!!!

September 24, 2020The pandemic has brought the best out of our team, residents, and families. We have to bond together and think creatively to keep connected. Your mom will always be in our hearts and has left us with many very fun memories.
We just went through the process of searching for a place for my om. The people at Vista Veranda stood out to us as very caring and positive. It was obvious that this was the place for my mom. [name removed] helped me through everything and was so kind. I am very excited for my mom to start this new chapter in her life at Vista Veranda.

September 24, 2020We have high standards for our customer service, especially during key moments of our resident's experience. The move-in process can be a time of transition. We take great care to help our families and their loved ones feel appropriately involved in the process. For all of us, this is a special time.
My mother is receiving great care and dignity since she has been at Vista Veranda. Everyone who works there has such dedication to keeping their residents safe and giving them the best quality of life as possible. I am so relieved to have found such a wonderful place, and I thank everyone for giving my mother respect and making this time of her life as healthy and happy as possible.

September 24, 2020The dignity of our residents is top priority. Our staff works hard to get to know the individuality of each resident. We are small and want to give that personal attention to everyone.
My aunt lived at Vista Veranda while she was recovering. She says, "They made me well!" Her health is so much better. I cannot thank Vista Veranda enough. The staff put so much into her and it shows. Highly recommend!

Vista Veranda, a charming country based community setting just north of the city of Ravenna offering the best of the best in senior living services. One of Ravenna's best kept secrets. This community is older, yet the recent renovations, charm and class still remains the best offering as well as a tenured staff providing wonderful care and engagement daily. I've personally had a grandmother live in this community and her experience was like no other. I wished we'd made the move sooner. Hats off to the team for all that they do day in and day out for the residents.

May 21, 2020Thank you! We love our recent renovation, too. This year we have updated our landscaping and the warm touches that give Vista Veranda that cozy feel.
I talk to my mom every day and we are extremely happy with all that Vista Veranda is doing to shelter everyone in place while still trying to maintain some social stability. I dropped off things twice and I am very pleased with the way this was handled. I am very confident that every staff member within Vista Veranda takes this pandemic seriously and have our loved ones in your heads and forefront of your minds with every decision that you make.
