Testimonials
My husband, 82, went into Sunny Vista 6 weeks ago flat on his back after being in hospital for a month. With the extraordinary care from the staff there, Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, speech therapy, the CNAs and the remarkable nursing staff, dietitians, and housekeepers, he’s now home and 98% independent again! They did a fantastic job! As the Terminator says, “He’s baaack!!!” And only because of the extraordinary care he received at Sunny Vista Living Center! They are seriously underrated: it’s a beautiful setting with lovely views and very attractive pictures and paintings on the walls. Individual rooms with their own bathrooms, a large generous wardrobe for clothing, a bedside table and a comfortable hospital style bed. Good food from the kitchen and a delightful staff. We couldn’t ask for more!
