Key Review Excerpts

I compared 4 facilities and chose vineyard ranch and am glad I did. It just felt better than the others.

Prospective resident's family · 2025★★★★★

My mother has lived at Vineyard Ranch for over 6 years and loves it, as our family does too. Under the leadership of the Hall Director Kelley Lara, Vineyard Ranch staff is kind, interactive and engaging with the residents and family.

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

My mother has improved during her short stay at VR. But, I am a bit leery because the staff at VR is outstanding. My mother has improved during her short stay at VR and the memory care staff truly are caretakers that have the temperament for the dementia residents and know how to deal with them.
