Key Review Excerpts

My mother in law is in this facility. We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Katelyn Oaks, one of her nurses! She goes above and beyond her job and takes such good care of MA.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★

I'll admit, I had concerns about the status of this building and it's function, with the change in ownership recently. Thankfully those concerns were without merit after seeing the work that the new leadership team has performed on this campus.

Family member · 2024★★★★★

My sister has been at Cortland Northview (formerly Vista Springs) for two years and the new management and care staff have been an enormous improvement to communication, service and care.
