“A lot of them have no kids or their kids live out of state. That’s why we’ve become a family.”
The 139-unit facility, which remains at full capacity, provides a wide-range of services designed to foster a safe, engaging and comfortable experience for residents who appreciate a hospitality-centered lifestyle.
Upon entering, visitors are greeted with concierge service and a grand staircase leading to the Bonita Vista Dining Room with sweeping views of Thumb Butte. Here, residents enjoy chef-prepared dishes and diverse menus with daily specials, including options like lobster, filet and shrimp. A hosted happy hour is offered nightly.
Additional amenities include a fitness center, library, salon, barbershop, movie theater, social spaces for community engagement and a private, enclosed dog park. Plus, there’s a washer and dryer in every apartment.
“Our staff has a huge passion for what we do because they understand that people are making the biggest decision about the latter part of their lives by coming here,” said Regional Marketing Director Shannon Vialpando, who has been with Alta Vista since its inception.
The staff of 62 employees plays a critical role in creating a welcoming atmosphere, particularly for seniors who may not have local family support. “We have seen a lot of people struggle physically because they are caregivers for their spouses,” Vialpando said. “A lot of them have no kids or their kids live out of state. That’s why we’ve become a family.”
Socialization is a cornerstone of life at Alta Vista. The facility organizes a variety of recreational activities, concerts and outings while also providing essential services, including transportation to local businesses and medical appointments.
As a result of its high standard for excellence, Alta Vista has consistently earned top ratings, winning awards for six consecutive years. The facility prioritizes quality and ethics, which Vialpando said has contributed to its strong reputation.
“Our quality is important because families are sharing their loved ones with us,” she said. “We want to make sure that we are doing it right for everybody.”
Residents range in age from 62 to 103, with all facilities designed to meet ADA accessibility standards.
Alta Vista also prioritizes community involvement, supporting local nonprofits and adopting a local school to give back to the area. QCBN
