Key Review Excerpts

My mother-in-law is currently at this facility and became sick from their water—along with several other residents. The water has been reported as contaminated with bacteria, which is extremely concerning.

Family member of current resident · 2026☆☆☆☆

I have been an independent resident of Colonial Vista for nearly 3 years. From the moment I took my first tour and met several of the residents and staff, I knew in my heart this was where I belonged.

Independent living resident · 2025★★★★★

My mom is a resident here and it is a wonderful place. Paul helped us pick just the right apartment. Kristen has welcomed Mom in like family. Anna makes meals a fun time for Mom.
