Overview of Summer Vista Assisted Living Community

Summer Vista Assisted Living Community offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Pensacola, Florida. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident maintains a private living routine. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs time away.

The range of care types may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, as well as a family seeking temporary support. Summer Vista has 100 beds in the College Heights neighborhood. Restaurant style dining gives residents meals in a dining room setting, while the beauty salon and barber provide grooming at the community.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation services are available. Scheduled transportation gives residents a way to attend planned activities or appointments without arranging each trip themselves. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to bring a pet when moving in. Insurance and/or HMO is accepted as a payment option.

Lorie Sharee Harman serves as the administrator, and VOP Summer Vista operates the community. A Walk Score of 52 out of 100 makes the area somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be done on foot. For a resident who no longer drives, that may allow occasional independent trips for nearby errands, while other outings may require transportation.
