The reviews for Vitality Living Columbia, formerly Watercrest, present a mixed picture. Many reviewers praise the facility for its beautiful architecture, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is frequently described as friendly, caring, and attentive, with specific mentions of individuals like Alex and the activity director who go above and beyond. The dining experience is highlighted as excellent, with a variety of food options and a restaurant-like setting. Residents and their families appreciate the range of activities and amenities, including transportation services, a pool, and a beauty salon. However, there are significant concerns raised by some reviewers. High staff turnover is a recurring issue, affecting the consistency of care and services. Some families report problems with medical service delivery, such as medication errors and shortages. The memory care unit is criticized for being understaffed and undertrained, leading to safety concerns and unmet resident needs. Promised amenities like housekeeping and laundry services are described as inconsistent. Overall, while many find the community impressive and supportive, others caution potential residents to prioritize wellness and individual care plans over aesthetics and promises. The transition to new management has brought changes, with hopes for improvement in staff stability and service delivery. Despite the challenges, many families express satisfaction with the care their loved ones receive, noting improvements in residents' quality of life and social engagement.
