What this means for your family
While many residents report a high quality of life and praise the staff, the recent reports of water contamination and a stop-placement order are critical safety red flags. We strongly recommend verifying the current status of the facility's health inspections and water safety compliance with local authorities before considering a move.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
