Resident & family reviews
5.0 · 1 reviewsMy husband was at Buena Vida. It was much closer to me. My experience there was excellent. He had even a larger room, and it was right next to the kitchen. The ladies took very good care of him. The owner would take them out for walks, but they would also have singing. A couple of people who worked there would play guitar, and they would have group singing. They had a really nice Christmas. It was a Spanish Christmas celebration, but it was really nice. The food was very good. I wouldn't have moved him from there except that I couldn't get Medicaid.
