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.
