Success Stories

The happiness and success of our residents is paramount.  We take time to listen to their story, understand their background, respect the way they choose to live each day and incorporate favorite pastimes and activities into their daily care plan.

Leonard

Leonard was wheelchair bound and only had the use of this right arm.  He usually would not actively participate in group activities, however, we noticed that he had good motor skills and reflexes with his left arm. We developed games that allowed him to display his talents.  He is a champion beach ball “volleyball” player in our community. Soon after

Leonard was taking part in this new activity, he began engaging with staff and other residents much more and was suddenly all smiles.

Bob

One of our founders, Kyle, moved his dad (Bob) from Hawaii to the Mainland in order to care for him.  He knew moving Bob away from the place he lived most of his life meant that it was his responsibility to help him maintain connections to his life back home – relatives, neighbors, friends, and his sister.  We encourage local family visits and the use of technology for family and friends who live far away. 

We encourage you to come meet our residents at one of our Sip & See Nights or Educational Events: Call us at 602-456-1919

Letter from Nancy to Brett, co-founder of Vista Living 

Letter from one of Resident’s son to Nawwar, our lead caregiver at Vista Living Arcadia 

April 20, 2020  

It has been a little over a year since my mom passed and in reflecting on this we are so thankful for how well you treated my mom while she was at Vista Living. The care and compassion you showed her was just incredible and was better than we could have ever hoped for. Knowing that you were there for her made my brothers and my lives so much less stressful as we knew she was getting the best care possible. More importantly, you were not just a caregiver, you were a friend who genuinely cared for her. This showed in everything you did and how you treated her.

In this crazy virus world, it has become so apparent that individuals like you and your wife are so important in caring for our elderly. I learned first-hand that being a caregiver is not for everyone, as I know I do not have the patience, understanding, etc. that it takes to do what you do. What you have is clearly a gift that is so unique and special, and I am sure everyone who has had a loved one at Vista Living would agree with me.

We will always be eternally grateful that you were there for mu mom. No doubt she is smiling down on us and would agree.

Thank you so much. Take care. Be safe.
