One of the biggest issues that families face is deciding on which of the many memory care communities in the Colorado Springs area best fits their loved one’s needs.
MemoryCare.com describes their process
We spent the past 12 months analyzing key care quality metrics, such as resident satisfaction ratings, facility features, affordability, and most importantly, first-hand reviews from families. This is typical of what we found about your facility:
- Reviewers appreciate the beautiful, well-kept facility and the all-inclusive pricing. One husband of a resident wrote, “Other facilities have a tiered care system that costs more as a resident requires more care. Sunny Vista has one single Room and Board charge that includes whatever level of care is needed.”
“Our data has highlighted that you are not only one of the best, but also have provided your residents with a level of care that far exceeds generally accepted care standards.” – Joyce C. Community Manager at MemoryCare.com
We are honored to have so many supporters of The Retreat at Sunny Vista. And are proud to be recognized as one of the Best Memory Care Communities in Colorado Springs.
