Vitality Living

Really like Atria and my mom is going to do a respite stay to get the feel of the place.

Liked this one a lot. Room available is well located towards the center of community, there is plenty of visitation spaces available, the food is good, all residents were out in the common areas doing a sing-a-long during my visit, liked the single hallway with no turns. The only problem noted was no showers in the rooms, but instead had a step in tub with water jets in both sides of the hallway. The one I was shown appeared to be moldy and not as clean as I would have hoped. Question what their cleaning processes are between patients.

great locstion/facility. Well maintained, clean, fresh...

the large room I saw would be excellent in size. They allow residents to join activities of entire complex, not limited to only Alzheimer unit activities. They have two news discussion groups. Mom would enjoy that. They have a resident who speaks Turkish so she could practice. She could eat either in Alzheimer unit or could eat with friends from other sections of home. They have car taking people to local mall which has walking clubs in the mall which would give her people to walk with regularly.

Nice facility,

Good place. A little far out for my mother to drive. Might not be an issue by the time we move her. Impressive staff and facility. On the list, not #1

Nice location about 10 min away. Involvement by residents in activities. More lively participation. May be cost prohibitive.

Nice place. Location and parking are areas of concern. May consider for short term placement.

good services, I like it. recommendations from friend whose mother was there. highrise layout is an issue for mom.

Excellent facility. Transportation resources here and other Atria the best.

Strongest so far. Staff seemed most experienced and could answer my 3 pages of questions. Big plus is that Mom could have her dog there (if she can demonstrate that she can care for him) Rooms were most attractive. Downside is that it is a very urban environment for my mom.

Initial pricing seems within our desired range, but was unable to give definitive pricing without doing an evaluation. Lunch and tour for Mom and evaluation scheduled for Friday at 12:30. In the top two, but do want to look further into cleanliness in shower rooms.

Excellent facilities and off site activities provided at least twice a week. Very nice decor and friendly staff. Alzheimer facilities available.

Most closet space of any place we have seen so far. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Offer 1 month trial period, which could be in your permanent apartment. Prices seem fair. Concern of high-rise set up, if an emergency and elevators were off, could my mom walk down all the steps? Nice courtyard in back, which they say is well used in summer. Parking garage out back with free underground parking. Cable included, but not phone. Residents provided a life alert for emergencies.

Talked to director. Facility is "blended". 3 blocks from Balston Mall.

Good meal. One bedroom 1 bath with Side room. Patio kitchen $ Maid service weekly. Pet ok under 25 lbs ? Independent cottages but assisted living is available as well as memory care but you would have to move out of your cottage into an apartment to get increased care. ? You would have to go out in the weather and walk a steep incline to get to your meals. ? Meals are served buffet/cafeteria style. You would have to carry a tray from buffet line to your table. ? Full kitchen?all appliances furnished ? Fresh paint and new carpet with each change of tenant ? Hook ups for washer and dryer ? All utilities included except for cable TV, internet and phone line ? Small patio at both the front and back doors. Lots of cement, not much grass. ? Bath tubs with showers?tub could be cut out to make one a step-in shower. Without renovation you would have to step over the tub to get into shower. ? Exterior of the buildings showed signs of mildew. Interiors were OK. ? Located on a very busy street in Little Rock. I noticed lots of traffic noise, sirens, etc. ? Small dogs were welcome. ? Rooms available for any over-night guests you might have. ? Individual mail boxes provided. ? Housekeeping services are provided once each week at no cost to you. ? Transportation is provided to shopping, doctor appointments, etc. but must be scheduled. ? Beauty shop available on site. ? Staff on duty 24 hours a day/ seven days a week. ? Some programmed activities for residents. ? Some exercise equipment available on site (as well as physical therapy at extra charge) ? Nice sized bedroom closets and a pantry in the kitchen.

This is total memory care with 3 levels of care. Love the facility. Staff not real friendly. Only bedroom, living room/dining was outside the room.

We were told a lot things that are not happening and the communication has not been very good at all. We have had a couple major issues but other than that things are going ok. I would just tell others looking into Vitality Living or to those who have your loved ones here to make sure you stay on top of things.

I would recommend this community for you or your loved one. They have activities like themed celebrations, different jazz musicians and other musicians that come in and play music and much more for the residents to do to stay busy.

We are very happy with the facility but they just sold so we are hoping nothing changes. The everyday care staff is amazing but the administrative staff is very hard to get a hold of. We just had thanksgiving dinner there and it was fabulous. We would recommend as long as nothing changes with the new ownership.
