The physical therapy department is absolutely wonderful! My mom has been here for four weeks and has made more progress than she has in the last six months. Everyone in the department is helpful and friendly and take the time to get to know their patients. Rudy and Jaime have excellent attitudes and know just how to motivate mom. Kenny is always willing to help and encourages her in and out of the gym. Most importantly, mom feels safe and supportive and is excited about the progress she is making! Alice, the director, is particularly encouraging and knows just what mom needs. I highly recommend Buena Vista!!

Best of the best! I am updating my review. We had a dear friend at Buena Vista Care since January 2024. The communication is MAX! Julia, their amazing social worker, an the rest of the crew are absolutely the best. I always arrived unexpected and just could not be happier with the care provided to our dear friend. When discharge came, they were on top of every detail and the transition was very smooth. Thank you so much Buena Vista Care Team for your outstanding service to our elderly community.
