About Vista Park Health & Rehabilitation
Vista Park Health & Rehabilitation is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Douglas, Georgia, licensed for 168 residents. It provides rehabilitation services and 24-hour care for patients recovering from illness or injury, as well as longer-term residential care.
Family experiences highlight both strengths and inconsistencies in daily operations. Several families praised attentive staff and good nutrition, one noted their mother "was always being seen to" during multiple visits, with "a good variety and large portions" at meals. The activities program earns consistent recognition for engaging residents throughout the week. Leadership and staff coordination also receive positive mention. However, responsiveness to care needs varies; one family reported waiting 45 minutes for a call button to be answered, and a serious safety concern was documented when a resident fell and suffered a head injury during a stay focused on fall prevention and physical therapy.
Vista Park holds a 4.1-star rating across 17 Google reviews, reflecting a mixed picture of capable caregiving alongside operational gaps that may affect safety and timely response to resident needs.

I had the wonderful privilege of meeting all of the staff when my mom was there a few times. They took such good care of my mom.I was there different times a day and she was always being seen to.They also feed them well,a good variety and the portions were large.She passed while she was the there.They always keep me informed as to what was going on.I am 72 and when I get to where I cant take care of myself , that's where I am going.

My Grandma would come here when she would have falling spells on and off and would stay here so that she could be watched 24/7 to prevent falling while she was undergoing physical therapy to be strong enough to go back home. Needless to say, my Grandma fell on their watch and hit her head. She had a big dark purple knot on her forehead/eye about half the size of her head. Unfortunately, my Grandma died about a month later due to a brain bleed, from the fall, at Vista, where she was staying to prevent her from falling. I would recommend finding another option for your loved one if you ever want them to come home again.

This team is great. Leadership from the top. Stacey does a great job. There's always something happening because the activities team never has a dull moment! Very pretty nursing facility with a great team!
