I visited Bella Vita Senior Living. I like the location and it was extremely clean. We were there at lunch. It was a man who showed me around and he was so nice and so patient. The food they were serving smelled and looked very, very good. The kitchen and the dining room, it was like an open kitchen where you can sit at the dining table and see the open kitchen and it looked out onto the backyard. It just felt very open and scenic. The dining area was very close to the kitchen and it looked accessible for wheelchairs. My mom uses a walker and a wheelchair, but it looked wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate. Someone was working on a jigsaw puzzle. There was a shelf near a table where the jigsaw puzzle was. There were some books up there. It was lunchtime, so everyone was pretty much gathered around the table. They had another middle-aged man that was cooking and also interacted and was very friendly. He was busy but had time to look up and say a few nice words and smile and interact. It's nice for anyone who's looking for a small group experience there. I would tell people don't be afraid to look at it. It's great.

Bella Vita Senior Living was nice. The layout was nice. I like the staff. They're just super helpful and willing to accommodate. They have nice rooms for the seniors. They have a cute kitchenette in the studio area. It was really cute, and it was nice. I just couldn't afford it. They have nice courtyard. They had just finished some game.

My mother moved into Bella Vita at Stonington and there's nothing that I don't like. She ended up in a hospital and then they had a person there that helped find a place that met her needs. I needed someone that would be up at night, 24-hour care, that sort of thing, and she loves it. Everyone's nice there. They're attentive. The staff are all friendly and attentive, and she's really happy there. She was afraid to go to a place and she really likes it. She's not eating that much, but they make sure the food looks good. She can't walk, so she's just stuck in the room, but the other people there, they are doing puzzles and crafts, and they're hanging out in the common room watching TV.
