Absolutely love this place my dad was happy with everything and everyone at the facility. It's super clean never has any odors the staff are all very friendly and kind to the patients. My dad will only go for rehab at sunnyvista any time he needs a little skilled nursing so he can come home and be safe.

Both of my parents (ages 90+) have had excellent rehab experiences at Sunny Vista after their hospital stays. So many individuals helped with the process and I'm grateful that we found Sunny Vista after a terrible experience at another (very large) facility. I can't remember all the names of the team, but several stood out. Nurse Amanda's observations were spot-on, and she was great at communicating. Paru, the PT was good at connecting with both parants, and the nurse practitioner Elena was experienced and insightful. The one practice this facility utilizes that makes the most difference is their Tuesday "rounds." A representative from each area of care meets together with the patient every week, and the family is invited. The team answered so many questions during these visits every Tuesday, and it really helped our family to know what was going on and to prepare for discharge. What an amazing group of people.

From the moment I arrived at Sunny Vista Living Center (SVLC), I was treated not only as a patient but as a valued guest - a term that truly reflects the atmosphere of this amazing facility! The care here is kind, loving, and deeply respectful. Every member of the staff is incredibly patient and attentive without being overbearing. They have a protective, nurturing approach that makes you feel safe and supported, which is especially important during such a vulnerable time.<br><br>What stands out to me most is how equally everyone is treated. You truly cannot tell a full-on Medicaid resident from someone paying privately. There's no hierarchy - just genuine care and dignity for each person. The entire staff (except maybe the kitchen staff) go out of their way, everyday to make each resident feel seen, heard, and valued.<br><br>I'm writing all this because too often reviews come from moments of frustration or anger. But places like SVLC deserve recognition for getting it right - not just once, but consistently. If you, or loved one are considering a short, or long term physical rehabilitation facility, please, by all means, consider SVLC. This is a place where healing happens in both body and spirit

My mother has been a resident in this place for nearly a year and a half now and at the top of my list of complaints is their severe lack of adequate nursing staff, especially CNAs and those who are actually responsible for providing for the everyday care needs of the residents!! Thankfully I live less than 10 minutes away from Sunny Vista because my mother requires assistance with getting herself wiped off after having a bowel movement on the toilet in the bathroom because of her two hip replacements, pelvic reconstruction, and neck surgeries. As a result of these as well as other surgeries she is also in chronic pain and cannot remain sitting on the toilet for very long before she starts to experience severe pain. Over the course of the last year or so my mother has had to call me on the phone crying in intense pain pleading for me to come over to Sunny Vista as soon as I can to help her get wiped off and get off the toilet and back in her wheelchair after putting the call light on and then waiting for AN HOUR AND A HALF OR EVEN LONGER with still no body responding to her call light for help! This has happened multiple times in the last year. UNEXCEPTABLE!!!
