About the facility

Excellent tour provided by [Name removed] including discussion of 4 topics of special interest to me - med management, 3 healthful meals per day with diabetes-friendly menu choices available, daily exercise opportunities, if a 185-lb resident falls to floor, assistance capable of getting resident back on his feet. Lovely location overlooking Bayou St John, that is deeply imbedded in New Orleans history, and incidentally in my family's history also. My grandmother grew up on St. Ann street in the French Quarter. Tragically, her older brother[Name Removed] drowned at age 22 while swimming in Bayou St. John.

Review for SummerHouse Vista Shores
The service was amazing. Very helpful and compassionate. My Mom got a single room with a kitchenette, and private bathroom. Her facility was right on the waterfront with walking paths, a cafe and beautiful parlors. Facility did weekly cleanings and laundry. The administration staff was very outgoing, caring, and helpful. They even offered significant discounts for the first 4 months of occupation. I am very grateful for Summer House Vista Shores facility and staff. My Mom bloomed socially, and enjoyed her activities, including Friday social hours. My mother was an artist, painting, stained glass, quilting, anything crafty. The staff was very enthusiastic about her interests, even engaging her about painting a mural in the facility. If i had a crystal ball, I would have encouraged her to move to Summer House Vista Shores months earlier. She had her own apartment and care within my home , but Summer Home offered community.

Lovely location, staff that makes you feel like family
The location of this facility is great and the staff is great. Apartment sizes are very nice and maintenance folks have been responsive when needed. The staff are all super nice, across the board. The only issues we've had were related to some inconsistent housekeeping while they had some turnover but that all seems to be resolved

Wish we moved here sooner
The head nurse, [name removed], is amazing. She is also in charge of the care staff. Everyone was so professional and thorough in their care of [name removed]. When sheets or clothes needed changing, it was done immediately. When he went into hospice and died, they were supportive to the end. I cannot say enough good things about Summerhouse. [name removed] had been to two other assisted living facilities before that, and there was no comparison. We wish we had moved him there sooner.

Vista Shores is exactly what we was looking for in a community for our mom. We were blown away at how happy and we’ll take care of all of the residents were and the wide variety of activities that are offered. We toured and noticed how clean and well kept everything is! My parents were members of the original country club that the building originally was to Lake Vista. We toured other communities and none of them had near the outdoor space compared to here with the benches along the bayou and the walking paths (not to mention all of the nature and wildlife like the cute ducks!) We ended up choosing Vista Shores and our mom will be moving in during July.

would not recommend based off our experience, lack of care
In all honesty, I am not sure that I would refer SummerHouse Vista Shores to other families. I do not think the care was very good. Luckily, my loved one who was here did not need that much care at the time. Overall it was not a good place for our loved one.

Vista Shores review
This has not only been the best experience for my sister and I who were our mothers caregiver for years, but this is also an incredible experience for our mother. When we say the staff members there are top notch, they are top notch. They are the most pleasant and most giving of their time. The memory care unit is amazing, they have met every expectation. During the big storm our loved ones routine was not interrupted, they were able to keep the residents safe. We have spent so much more quality time with our loved one. We are truly grateful, and the staff members there are just something else.

Dad loves it here
Vista Shores is a beautiful place. Rooms are cute apartments that my niece wished she had when she went to college. The atmosphere is joyful and homey. Staff are wonderful. They have a wide variety of daily activities to participate in. You can walk around outdoors to the bayou or sit on the porches or sunrooms around the facility. Food is good and plentiful. Facility is very clean.

This community was not what we wanted. The menu was terrible and the variety was not healthy. The staff were very nice. The community is beautiful, but they staff informed me that they only clean once a week and not when something needs to be done. There were times that the staff did not speak to the residents very well.They do have activities for the residents who are able to participate.I would not recommend this community to other families for care.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Louisiana’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Louisiana’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
