We actually ended up choosing another place due to proximity to our extended family BUT this was a close second. If location wasn’t a factor, we probably would’ve picked this one.

The community emphasizes independence paired with supportive services, and draws residents from Corona as well as surrounding areas such as Riverside County, Chino Hills, Eastvale, and Los Angeles.
The community's life enrichment program offers a wide range of activities designed to keep residents active and engaged, including choir, drama, dancing, sing-a-longs, a live band, crafts, and painting. Residents can make use of a music room equipped with a piano, drum set, and bass amp, and many take part in the community choir as a way to build confidence and connect with others.

Moving my dad into senior living wasn’t something we ever thought we’d have to do, but the staff made the transition so much easier. They were patient with all of our questions, and everyone has been so welcoming. He’s settling in better than we expected.

After looking in the Riverside area for an assisted living home for my father who had been living with me for two years, I decided on Vista Corona Senior Living in Corona, Ca. From the moment I walked in I felt at home. Chad, the director was extremely personable and informative and answered all of my questions that I had. The facility was clean and well maintained. The entire staff from housekeeping to medical was phenomenal with my dad and with me and my family. I never once felt I had made a wrong decision to move my dad here. If you haven’t yet made a decision for your loved one, please consider Vista Corona.

Vista Corona Senior Living is the perfect place for my husband. We, as a family, are so pleased with the community, the wonderful service provided and incredible caring staff. From our initial call with CHAD ORNSBY to actually meeting him and a tour we knew that this was the ideal place that offered so much more than other communities. Chad provided us with such warmth, comfort and knowledge that we knew this was the right place. His caring demeanor and professionalism was so welcoming. The activities that Chad showed us and the people he introduced us to were wonderful, it provided yet another another layer of comfort. The variety of activities and the great meals are certainly another reason to give residents the joy to call Vista Corona Senior Living home. Thank you for having such an outstanding individual as Chad Ornsby on your staff to introduce us to this wonderful community that offers residences and their families the relief of knowing that safety and comfort are there as security for our loved ones. Chad provides an anchor to all of us. He remembers everyones name and the family is always so welcomed. His heart and office are always open for a question or concern...we are all so fortunate to have this wonderful human being as our support. with great appreciation
