Nice facilities, serious safety concerns
I have first-hand experience with Vista Prairie. The building is clean, spacious, the food is decent, and activities - especially life enrichment coordinator Arielle - genuinely enrich residents' days. But management and safety are major concerns: turnover after a merger, an apparently unqualified executive director, weekend staffing shortages, unresponsive/disrespectful staff, and reports of overcharging and underdelivering. I witnessed serious incidents that made me worry for residents - theft (wallet hidden, police involved), staff misconduct (a nurse refusing to search an apartment citing a "gift"), and even medication/oxygen lapses. Bottom line: great activities staff and nice spaces, but I would not recommend this community until leadership, staffing, and safety practices are fixed.
