Bella Vista is a hidden gem in southwest Mesa! The moment we entered we were impressed by the beautiful, elegant foyer and the genuine, friendly greeting from the front desk receptionist. We met with Sheri Simpson who was absolutely outstanding! She spent the time to learn about our needs and shared her incredible knowledge while providing various options available to us. As we toured Bella Vista, we observed the wonderful, family community environment and various staff providing exceptional care to residents. The Bella Vista property is very clean and well maintained inside and outside. They offer an extensive variety of activities on and off the premises. The apartment floorplans are idea for independent living and conveniently located within the complex. We would highly recommend checking out Bella Vista Senior Living!

The level of genuine care demonstrated by Bella Vista’s leadership manifests in the culture of the facility, its cleanliness and the responsiveness of the staff. There is not a staff person there who my family has not felt was personally engaged in accommodating the residents. At the risk of neglecting to name others who should also be recognized, I have to give a shout out to Adriana, Sheri and Teri for their professionalism and compassion. We placed my 91 year old mother in an independent living apartment there four months ago following the sudden death of her husband of nearly 70 years. Her son had died less than a week earlier at Christmas. My mother has a fair degree of dementia and could not live alone. There had been no preparation for my mother to move into senior living and she was resistant to making the move. However, the Bella Vista team was most welcoming during one of the lowest moments in my mother’s life and helped her rapidly integrate into the Bella Vista community. My mother loves her apartment and frequently comments about how friendly everyone is. I am so grateful that we found Bella Vista for my mother.

I have toured a lot of senior living facilities,but Im extremely impressed with Bella Vista. What impressed me is how engaged the residents are with each other and with the 45 clubs that cater to their interests. The leadership team at Bella Vista, in particular Sheri Simpson, focuses their efforts on the needs and well being of the residents,by finding many ways to provide a happy, inclusive environment for the residents. One conversation with Sheri, convinced me that they would give my brother a great living experience at Bella Vista. He will move in this week!

Bella Vista has been a great home for my mother in law for about a year and a half. She is very involved with the BINGO crowd and loves going to this activity 3x/week. Since her spouse has passed away, there are many activities to keep her occupied and interested. There is even a shuttle bus that takes the residents to Walmart, the grocery store or church. Being 3 meals a day are provided, going to shop for groceries isn’t required, but it’s good to have an outing once in a while. The staff has a lovely way of checking on all residents every single day to ensure safety and health. We feel confident that she is loved and looked after every single day. We have made suggestions to the staff and they are receptive and welcoming to these ideas. We are happy she is living her best life!!!

It’s been our experience that Terry and Dominic of the Activities staff do an outstanding job at monitoring and hosting a variety of activities for Bella Vista Senior Community. We’d like to add that their energy is contagious and they both participate fully in the activities they host.<br>Lastly the two of them make everyone feel so at home and very included in all activities.<br>Signed,<br>Sharon and Susanne

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
