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

It was a mediocre experience and I'm not sure our loved one felt special or deeply cared about except by a minority of care providers.

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.

Homey, Cozy and Happy!
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 is a nice community, and my tour of it went very well. Everyone was kind to my family, and myself. The community looked clean, everything we saw looked good. The staff we met was kind, and courtesy. Our questions were answered. The experience was a good one.

Better Care and Comfort
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.

I got a very good impression with our visit. The residents appear happy. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The residence was bright and cheerful. From what I was told I feel that my mother will get excellent care there. They will cater to needs from the food they serve her to whatever daily assistance is needed. Very pleased.

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Louisiana regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Louisiana regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored SummerHouse Vista Shores 7.4 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
