    Jerry Godinez and his staff were wonderful. We moved my stepdad over to La Vida Real after having a tour of the memory care unit. They were very accommodating to my mom, who wanted to spend a lot of time with her husband during his remaining time with us. Jerry was always kind and responsive to any question or situation that arose. Same goes for the rest of his staff. Although my stepdad's time there was too short, I would recommend La Vida Real to anyone that was interested in moving to an independent or assisted living facility.

    I am so pleased to share my excellent experiences with the care my husband received. Every single day was a positive for us. I was there with him each day for more than six months. The caregivers were well trained and available for all of our needs. The director of the Memory Care facility was exceptionally knowledgeable in every aspect of our needs. He not only knew the names of every resident, but knew all of the families as well. If the resident was able and wished to be involved in the many daily activities, they were warmly welcomed. There were always nurses available. The food was absolutely delicious, and during the special activities, like music and games, there were treats of all kinds. The clean-up teams were also amazing and the facility was spotless 24 hours a day. In addition to the full-time caregivers, we added Hospice care during the final weeks before my husband's passing, and they all worked so well together. The bus service available to transport residents to medical appointments was also outstanding. And the gentlemen who provided this service were helpful and kind. We felt fortunate to have this option and used it a lot. My family and I are so grateful to La Vida Real and would give them many more stars than are available to give!

    A great community! The staff is wonderful and you can tell they care about the residents- Food is much better than expected and there’s a great variety to choose from on any of the menus. The activities are extensive- spanning vast interest groups- I’m very grateful La Vida is so close! My mother in law felt very much at home- and the big plus is they allow pets!

    My heartfelt appreciation to the dining and kitchen staff for "a job well done." The warm, welcoming ambiance of the dining room is a perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends and family. Our servers are attentive, pleasant and efficient. Always ready to assist the residents to help make their dining experience more enjoyable. The culinary staff prepares an array of healthy, delicious entrees, soups, salads and yummy desserts. The residents leave the dining room with a huge smile, two hands holding their tummy and a to go box. How blessed we are to live among wonderful residents and staff.

    My brother Mark Frageman was here at La Vida Real for 5 months as we “loved him back to life”. So many people were amazing partners in this journey. Sully was so helpful in getting him here & in guiding his journey. So many of the caretakers were excellent but I especially want to call out Rachael who gave him the psychological boosts he needed to push on. Kim in independent living was so helpful in creatively transitioning him to independent living so he could fulfill his only wish to return home. He was extremely happy here. I wanted him to stay but his only goal was to return to his home in Missouri which with everyone’s help he accomplished. The empower therapy team deserve much credit for his progress & hospice services were excellent. He came in dying & left living. Thank you. This is an incredible facility with excellent staff all around.
