La Vida Llena

Treehouse

By far the largest number of residents at LaVidaLlena are in the Independent Living areas, so it is a very active community. My husband and I moved here in 2015, both fully mobile but seeking a place where we knew we would be taken care of should we need assistance. He died three years ago without ever staying in any of our care units, but we did have help from several nurses and aids right in our apartment during his final illness. They were unfailingly cheerful, competent and professional. For the past year during Covid-19, when we were sheltering for everyone's safety, our Life Enrichment Department went to work immediately designing exercise, lectures and other programs on our in-house TV station and online to keep us sane and happy. Normally there is an abundance of lectures, classes, day trips, exercise classes, chances to attend Popejoy Hall events, too many activities to list. Walking among our beautiful grounds is a favorite pastime which was never curtailed. We are all looking forward to the day soon when the life we knew before 2020 resumes here. Our newly remodeled Health Care Center with private suites looks fabulous, and the new Assisted Living/Memory Care building does as well. There are 40 new, upscale apartments going up in the new 6000 building on north campus, with both these new buildings nearing completion, so the excitement about them is growing. The future looks very bright at La Vida Llena, and I am so happy to live here!

La Vida Llena was great. It felt very warm and welcoming. The residents were happy. It goes all the way from independent living to skilled nursing care. They had no openings at the time, but there was a waiting list. They had transportation to places and because it's multiple care level, it seemed like a happy place. I saw a lot of residents walking around. They had a dining room, meal plans, a separate little grill area, and a little convenience store where they had hot dogs, chips, and candy. I felt very comfortable there. If I needed a place to be as a senior, that would be a good place to go. You could stay there until your dying days.

We have friends in La Vida Llena. It's very nice. My friends are very happy there. The wife has developed memory issues but she is well taken care of. She is very happy about that. One time they invited us to have dinner with them, and the food was pretty good. They have different restaurants, so you could pick anything you want. I think it is very good because if you have only one place to eat, no matter how good the chef is, you're going to be tired of the food repeating and repeating. I saw the schedule and the whole week is full of activities.

La Vida Llena was very nice, and it looked like I could afford to be there. I was very happy when I figured that out, so I didn’t look any further.

La Vida Llena is lovely but you have to buy into it, and they offer all the activities. It’s like a really nice fine hotel; you have a tablecloth and a menu.

I was at La Vida Llena as an invited guest. The facility is new and very beautiful. The location is also very good. It just opened this year. It would definitely be my choice, but it’s expensive. I would highly recommend this place if you had the money. We looked at the apartments and they were nice. We had a light lunch there with a salad and a dessert and it was okay. We were nicely treated by the staff. They were knowledgeable and all our questions were answered. They have different things going on like movies, games, and if I remember correctly they go to different places.
