The place makes safety and health a core part of life, with security features, medication dispensers, and medical alert systems, plus weekly housekeeping and laundry, and support ranging from help with bathing and medication to memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, using design features aimed at reducing confusion and preventing wandering. Seniors can get internet and cable TV plans, senior cell phone plans, and guidance on hearing aids, including reviews and listings of over-the-counter brands, so residents stay connected and can find the tools they need. Mountain Vista runs a Senior Wellness Program with wellness checks, fitness classes, health screenings, and regular visits by a podiatrist, and an in-house public notary service is available for those who need documents signed or witnessed. Residents don't need to stress about trash, garage doors are automated for simple access, and each apartment or home gets routine maintenance so daily living feels smooth and manageable.
