My brother Mark Frageman was here at La Vida Real for 5 months as we “loved him back to life”. So many people were amazing partners in this journey. Sully was so helpful in getting him here & in guiding his journey. So many of the caretakers were excellent but I especially want to call out Rachael who gave him the psychological boosts he needed to push on. Kim in independent living was so helpful in creatively transitioning him to independent living so he could fulfill his only wish to return home. He was extremely happy here. I wanted him to stay but his only goal was to return to his home in Missouri which with everyone’s help he accomplished. The empower therapy team deserve much credit for his progress & hospice services were excellent. He came in dying & left living. Thank you. This is an incredible facility with excellent staff all around.

A great community! The staff is wonderful and you can tell they care about the residents- Food is much better than expected and there’s a great variety to choose from on any of the menus. The activities are extensive- spanning vast interest groups- I’m very grateful La Vida is so close! My mother in law felt very much at home- and the big plus is they allow pets!

I toured La Vida Real with a friend last week. This week she is moving in. First of all, Carrie Compton, the director of marketing, took the time to listen to my friend's concerns and expectations and in touring la Vida Real with us, Carrie made sure that my friend's questions were all answered. My friend had an opportunity to talk with some of the residents and staff and was very impressed with how positive and welcoming they were. The grounds and amenities of La Vida Real are outstanding but the sense of community my friend felt made all the difference for her.
