My mom is now at Vista Harden Ranch. Our overall experience is very good. Her assisted living unit is very nice. She has a full kitchen without a stove. She loves the food there. It's very good. It's a very nice community. They take very good care of the facility. The staff is very nice and very helpful. For activities, they have card games, and movie nights and people come in and play music for them. They have a lot of different things. The community is not huge where there are so many people and it takes forever to get around it, but it's not small either. It's the perfect size for my mom.

My mom has moved into Vista Harden Ranch. All of the staff members are very friendly, not only with the visitors but also with the patients. You can see how they act with them. They're just awesome. I think my mom's room is great. It's a single room with a private bath and a balcony that's shared with a couple of other people out there. It's very comfortable. It has a kitchenette. The common dining area is very nice and very clean. It has a very friendly atmosphere, more like a restaurant-style setting. They have a daily regular menu, but if somebody asked for something different, if they have it, they'll serve it. I think my mom has gained weight. We had a Christmas celebration meal; it was very good. The grounds, they're beautiful and they have a lot of open spaces where people can go walk. My mom doesn't go outside alone because she's she gets too confused to go outside alone, but she can go out on her balcony and walk around there. There are flowers and things out there. They have different activities. They have a yoga class and a stretching class. They also make jewelry and all kinds of stuff. They have a piano, and she plays it; she loves it. She plays almost every day after she eats. My mom has assisted living plus. I don't know what they call it, that she has some kind of care where they come by and help her with the shower and those kinds of things. They're very helpful and responsive to every need. She has one of those call button things that she wears. If anything happens, they call me immediately. She's just doing great, and I love it. The only activity that I've observed was the chair exercise. They did a great job, and they were very encouraging to the patients. When I walked by there they were doing other things, everybody seems like they were having a good time. All of the patients that are in there are very friendly also, they always say hello to me and all of that.

My mother-in-law will be moving into Vista Harden Ranch within the next couple of weeks. We chose it because of the location, friendliness, and cleanliness. They're very attentive to their residents and just very receptive and welcoming. We had a meal there and it's a good variety and the vegetables were fresh. There was no canned food at all. The staff was very attentive and you could pick from two different entrees. They had an excellent dessert. It was very delicious. The apartments were spacious and very accommodating for an older person, with good natural light and ventilation, and were all brand new. They were putting in new floors, a new kitchen, and new lighting. Everything she'll be moving into was new. It was very comfortable. They had a couple of areas where you could just sit and read. They had a patio area that was very nice in the sunshine, a lounge area that was very comfortable, and an area for games. The activities looked very comfortable. We didn't see the bingo game, but they were getting ready to do that. They had people doing jigsaw puzzles. One of the attractions for us was they have transportation and we would like our mother-in-law to be able to have the transportation to go shopping and go on field trips. We take her to the doctor, but they'll take her to her lab appointments.

Vista Harden Ranch looked like a very nice facility. The studio rooms were a little on the small side. There was a band that day. I toured the place, and it looked like they had a lot of good activities. They had a beauty salon, a library, and a common area. The staff who gave me the tour was very professional.

I met with the representative of Vista Harden Ranch. She was very nice and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean. It had a lot of areas for people to engage in. There were also a lot of activities. The environment outside was safe and enclosed, but also open so that people could be outside. They had nice landscaping. They were remodeling a lot of the rooms. It seemed like they were taking care to give each person staying there their own identity within the property, and I like that. I looked at a joint room. It had two open bedrooms with a shared kitchen and shared bathroom facilities. It was a nice setup. It was an additional option beyond someone just being in their own room. It was a good size. They were new, so they were really nice. I also looked at the individual rooms and those were set up very nicely. They had enough space for an individual to be in there but be able to get around confidently. They had options of course for bringing in meals. They also had small kitchenettes where people could prepare things on their own if they were able to. Everything was like easily accessible. They said that they could adapt the food and what-have-you to the individual, so I thought that was nice. They mentioned that food could be brought in to share with family members, which I thought was nice, too.

I went to look at Vista Harden Ranch. The facility and rooms were very small. It was a studio. The inside was clean, and the outside was OK. The staff was nice. They have like a little cafeteria, and it's small.

Vista Harden Ranch assisted living was very nice but very small and it didn't seem like it had as many activities going on as the other ones. The person who assisted us during the visit was excellent. She was very informative and very, very attentive. The room we saw was very, very clean and very nice. It had a good view of the hills and my friend was very impressed with it. It just was a much smaller unit as well as the whole facility and she was looking for something larger with more people. We didn't eat there, but we checked the menu out and the food description looked beautiful. The area was nice, clean, and updated.

Vista Harden Ranch was nice, and they had a shared balcony. The rooms were decent, and they seemed to provide everything that was necessary. My dad didn't want to be in a big town; he wanted to be in a smaller town. The staff who assisted us there was great. Their facilities aren't that memorable. I've seen a library, fitness room, a little reading room, and TV area.

It looked very nice, that's why we're going back. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. Everything was clean in all areas. They have listed activities and the Visiting Nurses Association will come and do therapy too.

It was a great place. It was like a big family home with nice bedrooms and a nice dining room with a good menu compatible with your medical needs. It probably had the best meals among all the places I visited. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very nice.

It is very nice, and I really liked it. The rooms were joint, they were kind of big and nice, had a bathroom, and it was very clean. They had a calendar of activities for what they do every day. The girls were really nice there, and the people treated us really nicely.

It was a nice place. It had nice accommodation, and the staff was friendly. My mother liked it there when she went to see it. She is diagnosed with dementia, and they have care for dementia and Alzheimer's, so I thought it would be the perfect place for her, and it’s close to where she’s living. They were in a group having Activity Day the day I visited. I visited the lunch area and the dining area, and it was very entertaining. They always had arts and crafts there. It will really help my mother because she has dementia.

It was very nice and clean. The people were very helpful and very professional. It seemed like the facilities were set up very well for the type of service my mom needed at that time. The rooms were of a good size, and the grounds were very nice, open, and airy. They showed me the calendar of activities and the areas where they do crafts.

It is good. They are one of the best in town. My wife is in the dementia care. She can't walk and has to be helped to go anywhere. They have different functions going on and stuff. The rooms are nice. She doesn't use the dining room much because they have it served in her room. She gets served breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the service is very good. They are doing well. In the other facility, there were three people in a room. Over here we have a separate room, and it is a lot better.

I was impressed. I wouldn't mind if my dad went in there only because there was our nationality there that was taking care of the place, so they can communicate with him very easily. The staff was very helpful and upbeat, very happy people over there. The rooms were very nice. They had activities and certain types of games; they stayed very physical with their patients to keep them vibrant, so I liked that, and my dad likes to walk.
