The food is exceptional and the kitchen staff are accommodating and nice. The amenities that Vitalia offers are beyond any other facility that I toured. The Forenight infared camara in the residents rooms have alerted the staff immediately when my mother has fallen. It's been a game changer and so reassuring for our family. Sometimes the communication/questions gets lost and we don't get answers. That would be the only constructive criticism I would have with Vitalia. I'm sure that happens with most places though. The overall facility is very clean, inviting, beautifully decorated and welcoming. I feel that they could do I better job in my mom's room with cleaning. Even though my mom still refuses to participate in the activities, there are wonderful opportunities for her when she does. The nursing staff is exceptional. The head nurse is approachable and knowledgeable. The floor nurses are kind, compassionate and have attended to my mother's needs. Overall we are thrilled with our decision to place our mom in Vitalia.
The staff they have at this community are really nice and we could not be happier with them, however mom thinks they could use some more staff. The community is pretty active. Mom is the memory care unit and there are less activities available. She loves the food and the community is nice. They are a little expensive. I would recommend this community.
Very friendly staff. Very helpful and compassionate. They need more help in the kitchen. Sometimes there is only 1 chef at dinner.
