What this means for your family
Vintage Hills offers a warm, activity-rich environment that many families find highly beneficial for their loved ones. However, given recent reports of staffing visibility and phone responsiveness issues, we strongly recommend visiting during off-hours or weekends to observe staffing levels firsthand before committing.

However, recent reports highlight significant concerns regarding staffing levels, particularly during off-hours, and difficulties in reaching personnel by phone. Prospective families should weigh the positive reports of resident activities against the potential for communication gaps.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has gotten great care at Vintage Hills. She has lived at two other places before that just couldn’t seem to get it right, or meet her needs. I am so impressed with the staff and management.”
“My mom has been living at Vintage Hills Assisted Living for a little over a year, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with her experience there. She constantly talks about how wonderful the care team is, everyone is always smiling, checking in on her, and asking what else they can do to help.”
“Recently no staff present and visible in the atrium when you walk in to visit a family member. Limited staff. Called for an emergency this evening, twice, and pressed option"2" to reach a staff member, phone rang 5 to 6 times and no one answered.”
