Our mom moved in very recently and already loves it here! She calls her new apt home which makes us so happy. It's always hard to have to move a parent you love away from their own home but this place is the right choice. The staff are caring and very capable. The place is very well kelt inside and out. Mom loves the walk path around the home. It's easy to navigate even if you need a cane or walker. Plus it has a water view! He next favorite thing is there food and her friends she's already made here. Her table she sits with is full of sweet and interesting people. Can't tell you how thankful we are for this place. Oh and she got to keep her cat! Don't hesitate if you are in need of a place or for a family member you've found it!

My mother lived at Sound Vista Village for six years until her passing in January 2019. She called it "home" and referred to the caregivers as her "best friends." Our family knew beyond any doubt that she received loving and excellent care, and we completely trusted the manager and staff at the facility. Sound Vista definitely deserves far more than five stars, and it is where I will retire someday. When I hear of someone who is looking for a retirement home, I often suggest Sound Vista, as I believe that it is the best facility in Gig Harbor.

"Welcome Home", might be a good tag-line for the Gig Harbor Sound Vista Village because they make it feel like one big happy family lives there. The care, concern and friendship that the staff offers each and everyone (even each other) sets the vibe for the lifestyle at Sound Vista Village. We moved my mom from another retirement community to Sound Vista Village when her needs began to increase. The smaller number of residents (I believe there are 32 rooms), made it feel more manageable for my mom to navigate around and get to know people and we felt like she would get more attention just in passing from the staff (in addition to the one-on-one attention that we contracted for from the nursing staff to administer her medications and assist with showers). Honestly, the staff at SVV are answering a Calling to Care for others. They understand seniors and the elderly and the associated "sometimes grumpiness" that goes along with aging and are always compassionate. They are also very, very skilled at what they do. From the nurses who are watchdogs over medicine management (and are especially experienced at managing transitions from hospital stays back to SVV - where prescriptions can get goofed up) to the activities director who makes sure everyone is included, encouraged and safe; to the cook who knows who likes scrambled and who likes over-easy eggs in the morning; to the happiest woman on this planet who also happens to clean the units daily; to the on-site maintenance engineer who is there to keep things running smoothly to finally, the General Manager who leads this whole team beautifully, they are the BEST! Get mom or dad on the waitlist and join the family!

If your looking for a place to call home, or a place for a dear relative or friend , look no further. Sound Vista Village is Amazing. There will never be enough words to write for the gratitude my family has for this staff of incredible people. My grand mother was here for the better part of 4 years, and in that time each individual person from the front desk, kitchen , service staff, house keeping, hair dresser and nurses became her extended family. The Personal care was so unique to each person living there. The sound vista family learns everything about the resident and works every minuet to making their life as happy and for filled as possible. They have activities weekly, workouts, games, movie nights, you name it they do it. Wonderful day trips and so much more! This is Not the stigma of assisted living. This is a safe, clean, beautiful, comfortable, warm and caring home. **Most importantly is the staff. The people who work there are so kind, friendly and accommodating. **The nursing staff literally are ANGELS. How one place got such a talented, warm hearted, compassionate group of nurses is beyond belief. My grandmother was loved, cherished, RESPECTED, and cared for until the day she passed. The staff has always treated our family like one of their own and welcomed us with open arms. My grandma lived 4 extra beautiful years ( until 98 years old) because of this incredible staff of people. Thank you Sound Vista Village and everyone of you who were so important and special to my Grandma and our family's lives. We will be eternally grateful. Like my Grandma said, she'll be saving a place for You all in Heaven.
