La Vida Real

Choosing an assisted living facility for your loved one is never easy, but when we toured La Vida Real it gave us confidence that we found the right place. You could feel the warmth and culture stepping through the door. The executive director Kim and the marketing team Christina & Carrie had answers to all of our questions and weren’t pushy with us. They take the time to learn each person’s preferences, routines, and life stories which makes all the difference in the world. The grounds itself are beautiful and has a modern style that won’t out date itself. Some of the other places we toured were tacky and didn’t have a sense of warmth. They have a great dining area with exceptional food that feels more like a family gathering rather than the institutional feel at other assisted livings. They even have an in house gym with physical therapists to help promote independence for as long as possible. What stood out the most was meeting the care team. You could tell Jerry the memory care director and Sully their nurse have been doing this for a long time. Bernadette their other nurse is also wonderful. We were thrilled to meet people that actually care, which gave us immense peace of mind. The caregivers are patient, attentive, and consistently compassionate. They encourage residents to participate in activities and social gatherings which helps with the hard transition of having to leave your home. Communication with families is clear and consistent, and any questions or concerns are addressed promptly. If you’re looking for yourself or a loved one I highly encourage touring La Vida. You won’t be disappointed 😊

My mother recently passed while on hospice in her room in memory care at LaVida. I cannot express enough the level care and love shown by the staff in memory care. A couple of hospitalizations occurred before her transition, and I was so touched how the nursing staff and facility director were able to work with hospital to get mom “back home”. Prior to the end, our experience was very good while in memory care. My folks started out at La Vida in assisted living which was also attentive, however, her Alzheimer’s declined pretty quickly after my father’s passing. Mom made friends and had a circle she ate with regularly. The grounds are maintained very well. The maintenance team is very responsive. I appreciated their help hanging shelves and maintaining some of mom’s beautiful plumerias she had outside her window. They are now a gift to share in the common patio upstairs. I live close and it was hard to not keep stopping in to make sure they were being taken care of. This past month I have seen the level of care and skill at making mom comfortable while maintaining dignity. I recommend La Vida and have often said that I park in the “future resident” spots because this is my plan.

Iv'e been a care provider all my life recently retired. This past week I was given the opportunity to visit LA Vida Real. Jerry Godinez, EnLiven Director took me on a thorough tour and showed me all levels of care. each wing was so beautifully thought out. The amenities were amazing. For body, mind and soul I was impressed with the posted daily activities, the full workout gym and the outdoor pool. The indoor lounge areas are resort worthy, the invitation to gather is felt throughout your beautiful facility. I got a peek into a couple bedroom units. so homey and well designed for your personal needs. In the Memory care wing, staff were very friendly and attentive to the residents they were serving. After my tour I was treated to a wonderful lunch in one of your impressive restaurants where i got to talk with a couple residents who shared there happy experiences with there home. I can't stop talking to my friends and family about La Vida Real

Mom was a resident of M Court for 15 months. Her cognitive, physical and social abilities improved remarkably very soon after her move to memory care. The staff is professional, well-trained, competent, caring, friendly, accommodating and motivated. The facility is welcoming, well-maintained, functional, and aesthetically beautiful. The residents are engaged, happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Jerry and the Enliven Memory Care team.
