Research shows that seniors living in a supportive and socially active environment enjoy better mental and physical health. It is our goal to provide Vista Mesa residents the opportunity to live in an atmosphere of love and understanding, combined with a sense of independence and freedom.

As a full-service assisted living facility, we offer a wide array of services, including:

24-hour staffing: Staff members are available to support the residents of Vista Mesa and communicate with nurses in case of care needs, emergencies or with any changes in health status. We have excellent proximity to Southwest Memorial Hospital with ambulance response and emergency services.

Medication Supervision: Nurses assist in medication needs of the residents by receiving doctors' orders that support the care plan and health assessment. We have contact with physicians' offices to address medication issues.

Resident Health Assessments: Health Assessments are important for measuring preventative or appropriate care and quality of life. Our goal is to provide preventative care to support a resident's health, while taking into consideration the specific needs of the resident. Assessments are completed while taking into consideration the resident's health status and doctors' orders. Meetings are planned with families to enhance communication about health conditions or resident needs.

Assistance with Personal Care: To help residents look and feel good, our staff assist with basic activities of daily living such as toileting, dressing, ambulation, and bathing, as well as nail care, shaving, hair care and make-up.

Specialized Memory Care Unit: Staff members are trained to provide support to residents as they progress with dementia issues. Our activity program is designed to accentuate the things that residents can still do successfully. For additional information on our specialized Memory Care Unit, click here.

Grounds: Our courtyards provide privacy and security features for all of our residents. A doorbell is located in the foyer to alert staff after hours.

Full Service Salon: Residents can be scheduled for a full range of hair care services. We also will respond to residents' requests to be taken to their familiar beautician/barber in town. Families may arrange to use our shop to provide this service for themselves as well.

Housekeeping: Housekeeping service is provided for all rooms. Deep cleaning is completed routinely, and linen changes are scheduled as often as needed.

Transportation: Our handicapped accessible, 12 passenger bus is available for scheduled doctor appointments as well as many outings and field trips, including trips to the mountains, local restaurants, shopping at Wal-Mart and to the duck pond at the nearby Centennial Park.

Meals and Snacks: We offer various breakfast options with flexibility for early or late risers. Lunch at mid-day is the main meal, and a light dinner is served in the early evening. Residents are treated to visits from staff with the juice cart, and snacks are available any time. Meals are a social event, but we understand that illness may require a resident to have meal service in their room as needed.

Guest Meals: We love to include family and friends for meals, especially on holidays! Private dining is available for large or small groups when scheduled with Vista Mesa.

Group and Individual Activity Programming, Fitness Programming: We have a skilled staff that assists residents with remaining physically and mentally active, and facilitates proper social interaction if desired. The schedule of activities changes on both a weekly and monthly basis. Please see our extended list of activities here.

Counseling Options: Supportive staff helps families and residents throughout the transition of adjustment. Vista Mesa is a host site for the Alzheimer's Support Group, and also offers a social worker on staff to assist families in finding the proper help and support during an emotional time.

We understand the difficulty and emotion that goes with making the decision to move a loved one into assisted living. Our goal is to offer our support and guidance every step of the way.
