I've never been to another rehabilitation CNTR (I am now 71) so I was surprised that : 1. My entire stay was paid for 100% by Medicare. VGV is very affordable. The staff is very professional and effective. 2. I retired from a construction company. I used to help build banks, schools, stores, and... senior care facilities - but nothing quite this organized or luxurious. This place is huge and extremely well built. Thank you.

My Father has been at Vista Grande and Trellis Garden for a while now, and myself and my siblings have spent many days and nights there, so I feel we are in a good position to evaluate the care and conditions there. In general, the people there a caring bunch, but there is not enough staff, too much turnover, and they are not well enough trained to provide a premium level of care. My Dad began his stay at Vista Grande. That experience went well. The accommodations for his needs by the staff were excellent. The facility and the services well met his needs. The food options were many and varied, and the food quality was good. Later Father moved into Trellis Gardens due to declining health, and the need for more attentive care. That experience has not been as positive, and in many cases quite worrisome. First is the food. Trellis food is not prepared in the Trellis wings, and can run from OK to awful. Residents are supposed to have a choice of 2 menu items for each meal, with various standardized options. In practice, the residents don't always get to make a choice or their choice may not be available. The food is generally flavorless and overcooked. That said, the desserts are good. Meds. A major concern is the attention to meds distributed to residents at Trellis. We have seen too many incidents where meds are dispensed incorrectly. Sometimes meds are double dosed, we have seen residents meds given to the wrong resident, some times meds are missed. There is apparently no system for reordering meds in a timely manner, so our family orders Dad's meds so that they don't run out. Vista Grande has recently fired most of the nurses that dispensed meds, and they are now dispensed by less trained staff, which is even more worrisome. Fortunately Dad does not require injections, as untrained staff is now responsible for insulin injections. Laundry. We have labeled EVERY item of Dad's (clothes, linens, etc.) to try and assure his laundry returns when laundered. Nevertheless, items get lost, and other residents items end up in Dad's apartment. Care. By and Large the resident assistants (RA's) are friendly and caring. However, there is persistent turnover and even when at full staffing are still understaffed for the workload. Mornings and evenings are worse as the overloaded RA's try to get all the residents up and dressed for breakfast, and bathed and dressed for bed. All residents wear call buttons for attention. Response times are purported to be 5 minutes or less. Our experience is that 5 minute responses are rare, and sometimes can be over 30 minutes. Cleanliness. The staff is responsible for cleaning apartments and changing linens. This can be haphazard. Sometimes linens are not changed on schedule, and apartment cleaning is not done to a very high standard, carpets are only cleaned in traffic areas, dusting is not very comprehensive, and bath rooms are only spot cleaned. Emergency prep. Do not take an apartment on the 3rd floor. The inability to escape in an emergency is almost guaranteed. There is only one escape wheelchair, and as far as we know none of the RA's have been trained in its use. In conclusion it is conventional wisdom that Vista Grande/Trellis Gardens is one of the best retirement communities in the area. That may be the case, but they have a long way to go to brag about unambiguously high quality care. We have brought all of these items discussed here to the attention of management at all levels of the Vista Grande organization. No apparent progress has been made to satisfy the shortcomings.

My parent was in Trellis Gardens for two and a half years. They couldn't even take a urine sample correctly and because of it she died from sepsis. The caregivers were supportive and nice but overworked and underpaid. We were told when we were putting them in their that they would be taken care of and that was a lie. Looks great from the outside but[Removed] on the inside for anybody that doesn't have dementia. Think two or three times before putting your parent in here

Trellis Gardens, the memory care facility at Vista Grande Villa (VGV), was the perfect choice for our mother who suffers from late onset Alzheimer's. Each resident has their own room and we were able to bring in her own bed and furniture. This helped to make the transition from her home to VGV much easier and less stressful. She has been there for about 1-1/2 months now and members of her family visit on a daily basis. The staff are always friendly and responsive to the residents' needs. Our mother and her room are always clean. From the beginning we were encouraged to bring any questions or concerns immediately to staff and have found them to be genuinely concerned and responsive. The memory care facility only has about 14 or 15 resident rooms which is one of the reasons we chose VGV (a more homey atmosphere). There is a TV lounge, dining area, small kitchenette, and enclosed courtyard for the residents to enjoy. Quarterly meetings with the nurse supervisor helps to keep us informed and to ask any questions we may have. I like that all administrative staff, from the director to the staff on the floor have an open door policy. Having checked out several care facilities in the Jackson area, I would say that the cost is towards the upper end of what I consider the normal range for Alzheimer's care facilities, but well worth the peace of mind and feeling that our mother is getting the best care possible. I am glad we chose VGV.

My mother was here for a respite stay and it was a fair stay. I would say there are some improvements this community need to make before I would return. She wasn't satisfied with the meals. It is a well maintained community. They do a good job with the cleanliness. There are activities offered. The elevator broke twice while she was there. I wasn't totally comfortable with the care. I've placed my mother in other community's for respite care, and she has had better.

The staff at Vista Grande Villa are delightful and are taking great care of my mother during her respite stay. The community is very welcoming and tidy. I have had a few meals with my mother here and it was very good. My mom enjoys the variety of food offered.

Horrible place.....bad food...overall not a place for anyone who has their faculties. My parent went there and we did not read the fine print of the contract.. she moved in and disliked it and per the contract, moved out. Not only did she pay a high rent, she was penalized and lost a huge some of money from her buy in! Now 5 months later, her money was finally returned so glad she gotout. It I a depressing place and is poorly maintained as well. The staff has a dont give a darn attitude. This is not a active retirement community...this is an old folks home/nursing home.
