Facility cancelled via voice message the day before our scheduled tour. They left two numbers to call to reschedule but never returned any call backs (multiple). Never was able to tour facility and ended up choosing another one appropriate for my relative.

My father has moved into Watercrest Buena Vista. Our overall experience has been very good. The community is modern and clean. They seem to give a lot of personal attention. His room looks like any standard small efficiency apartment, or a one-bedroom apartment. Maintenance is taken care of properly. They enjoy the food very much. The dining area is restaurant like. The staff is very kind and seems to take a very personal attention to his care. He participates in board games, exercise sessions for wheelchair bound people, and he enjoys the music performers that come in. It's just very expensive.

We toured Watercrest Buena Vista. It was beautiful, and my mom loved the apartments there because they have a lot of natural light. The woman who helped us was great, and she continues to call me. She was amazing. The place is beautifully decorated. It has a very Palm Beach kind of feel to it. It is nice and bright. The dining spaces and communal spaces were very high-end. The apartments had a lot of natural light and good space. There were railings throughout the whole place like in the hallways and everything, so it was very well set up. They had a call system. The only issue is it was more expensive than the other ones. It was on the higher edge of their price range. My mom loved it, but my dad would have hated it. We toured both independent living and assisted living. It's very clean and it looked beautiful. Everything seemed to be in its place. You can it was decorated by a designer, like an interior designer came in and did the place. It's very high-end.

It is a new community. It's wonderful. They take people out shopping, they take them out to restaurants, they have regular activities like games, and they have a cocktail hour. The staff members were very good.

It is very professional, very clean and upscale. The staff was very professional, welcoming and friendly. The place itself was very open and very welcoming. The carpet was clean and new. They showed me a sample room, which was very nice and spacious. If my mom didn't need memory care, she would have moved in there.

It is very nice, friendly, and home-like. I was very impressed with it. The person who gave me the tour was excellent, very personable, friendly, and she knew all of the residents. The people who have eaten the food said it's excellent.

I visited Elan Buena Vista but I didn't feel like it's a good fit for me. It's actually brand-new, they just finished building it last year. It's a beautiful community but I just didn't feel comfortable there. The apartment wasn't really big enough because I have 2 electric wheelchairs and three walkers, so getting around wouldn't be easy. I also wasn't a 100% impressed by the assisted nursing services. So therefore, we decided not to go there even though they have availability, although it's not a 2-bedroom.
