Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals Physical Therapy - Vista Springs

Apr 2023

Top notch rehab with outstanding care. After my surgery the Vista Springs rehab through Spectrum Health, was able to get me back to living my life.I greatly appreciate the time and care of this wonderful staff.

This facility was highly recommended to us, and we were not disappointed whatsoever.... in fact, we are super- impressed. Mom has a 'studio' apartment that is huge - and we could add as much of her own things from drapery, to pictures, to shelving to really make it her own home. The apartment decor is up to date (stainless microwave, if desired in her kitchenette) and everything is clean and fresh. Housekeeping is amazing, along with maintenance and laundry. Staff seem to have a great attitude. Always with a smile and willingness to help or answer questions. Some stop by just to chat, and see how your day is going. Aids, med techs and nursing staff are wonderful and well-trained. Concerns are listened to. (Former nurse with long term care experience here...) This is 'assisted' care. Loved one can refuse showers. Staff is WELL aware of things, and certain behaviors are spelled out in the month-to-month contract that avoid serious issues. This is not a nursing home. They assist you when you require help. Different licences and rules apply here than at other kinds of care places. Some residents have had hospice here, and then pass on. They don't kick you out if you are sick. Yet, this is NOT a memory care facility. If loved one declines that way, there are other local Vista facilities (Northview) that they can transfer to, certain things being in place (room availability, etc...) Food is very good - with a nice pub-type alternate menu choices. Room service meals are no extra charge. Guests can eat for a reasonable charge, just inquire at the friendly concierge. Everything (except onsite beauty salon) is included in the rent. No "care-level" add on costs if loved one needs extra assistance. Choice of doctors who specialize in elder care come to the facility... including blood draws. Activities are creative and varied (artists come and paint with residents on a project... flower arranging... song performances... animals visit...etc) lots of outings are offered in their own van/bus as well as any entry fees covered. Residents are welcoming, and very friendly. They come from all walks of life and most from middle class income levels. (This age group saved and invested, lived on less than they made, paid off their home, and some, not all, received some kind of retirement package... unlike today's reality.) I have never noticed or overheard any attitude of "looking down" upon any other resident from these residents. An outstanding facility, in my opinion, and worth checking into.
