Felicita Vida Senior Living

always short stuff but management I give respect.

Thank you to the new Director Patricia who has gone well and beyond her duties to rectify an ugly situation.

I love this place! Affordable, clean and caring! Felicita Vida was different right from the initial phone call. My hurdle was to get Mom back to California after having been in a horror of a memory center in Tennessee. The logistics and timing were very difficult as was her health. I had to fly back to Tennessee to bring her back. Our arrival was not until 9pm ... on a Sunday. After an entire day and night traveling, we were exhausted. Staff greeted us at the car, assisted in her transfer and it felt like she was coming home from the first moment we arrived. The staff at FV had a room, her meds and a snack ready for her. They even managed to get round the clock staff to sit with her in the new surroundings so she would be more comfortable ... and I finally got some rest! This was in October and I waited to review until I had more to report.Mom is dog lover and Bambi, the resident chihuahua, has become her friend. She now has a roommate and they enjoy time and treats together. At some places the administrative staff sits in the ivory tower and makes rules, but not here. All staff are hands on. I can come in for a visit and Julie will let me know she has been sleeping a lot. Marisol and Bella keep me informed. They know her and make it a point to be involved. One time Julie actually helped me arrange furniture and made the bed during a room change. They listen.There is always an activity going on and I get an email update letting me know what Mom has participated in each day. There is a Movie theater, Bistro, fire pit, bbq, fountains and gardens. Our favorite place to hang out is the Bistro. It is like our own private Starbucks with a cappuccino machine, coffee, cocoa, tea, juices and pastries. She loves to come out for a treat. There is a happy hour each afternoon where residents gather for a beverage and snack in the beautiful lounge with a fireplace and baby grand piano. I cant wait for warmer weather to experience the outdoor areas with Mom. I have not had a single bad experience or conversation. They take great care of Mom and she is happy!

Ive been working at Felicita Vida Senior Living for almost three years and it is by far the best Senior Living Community I have ever worked at. Most buildings are run by Corporations but Felicita Vida is a local owned building. You will always see at least one of the owners at our events for not only the residents but the staff parties also. I have worked in memory care for several years as an activities director and have visited many Facilities and in my experience, I have never seen the kind of support from owners and/or management that I have seen at Felicita Vida.

Very nice clean facility from the outside and in assisted living but management sucks. Working there was a ugly experience. Always short staffed and its sad how they say employees are important and number 1 thats a lie. Poor choices of hiring caregivers. Aint anything proffecional there. Lots of gossip poor care from some caregivers. Kitchen in memory care is filthy and has roaches. Out of my 15+ yrs of being a caregiver this is 2 of the worst places I've worked at. The executive director walks around and only sees what she wants and critisizes the caregivers and laughs at the caregivers instead of helping them. All lives matters especially these people who are put here for people to care for them. They deserve the best. Sorry to say but I give it a 1
