Vista Winds Independent Living

Vista Winds Independent Living sits inside the larger Vista Winds Retirement Community and provides a place for seniors who want to live on their own but still enjoy some support and activities, and if you need more help down the road, like with assisted living or memory care, those are handled at different spots throughout the community, so you don't need to leave the campus if your needs change. The main building has four stories and lots of large windows, so there's plenty of light and some nice views, and the property's landscaped gardens and courtyard are kept neat, which makes walking around pleasant. There are 126 apartments, and you'll find choices like studios for folks who want to keep it simple or two-bedroom spots with extra space and even apartments where you can see some really nice views. The place is pet-friendly, which people who love their pets really appreciate, and the staff try hard to make things comfortable for everyone, with a Wellness Director named Taryn and a coordinator named Veronica who know what they're doing. Meals get served in a big restaurant-style dining area, and the chefs put effort into making food that tastes good with decent ingredients, which can be a relief if cooking gets harder. Daily activities include everything from morning stretches and water aerobics to bingo, crafts, movies, billiards, and even bowling, so people have choices for staying active or meeting new friends, and the staff seem to care about helping people feel welcome. Assisted living and memory care are also part of the overall community, with spaces built to support folks who need those extra services. The building and property both have a resort feeling, but without being too flashy, and folks living there say in their comments that the staff treat them kindly and the building looks nice inside and out.
