I love the SRG Company! They are beyond friendly, and I adore the residents who live here. I used to work at the Northridge location years ago, and coming back this year to help a friend cover her shift, I'm glad to see the atmosphere is just as welcoming as I remembered. I know the company has many locations, so it's nice to see that they all maintain the same high standard. I would definitely recommend taking a tour of this spot if you are looking for somewhere for a grandparent or parent to reside. They have many activit... read more

I started working with residents at La Vida Real about 5 months ago and I love it. The activities are great and always fun. Regina and Cynthia are always a blessing to spend time with. They are amazing and we love them. Thank you for all you ladies do for the residents here.

I would have given La Vida 4 1/2 stars except for Yelp's system. You will note my daughter Melanie M's posting of 7/26/17herein. I do NOT agree with some of it and for the remainder do not agree that the issues rise to the level of a one star rating. If you demand perfection, you most probably will never find it and your loved one will suffer the consequences of delay. My dear wife, Melanie's mother, has Alzheimer's and resides in a memory care unit at La Vida. We are blessed that my wife has lifetime long term care insu... read more

La Vida Real is a fantastic home with excellent care. My father was a resident in the assisted living wing until he passed away. I visited him every day at LVR and got a first hand experience of the inner workings of the community inside, top quality care & staff, beautiful facility, and the dining is 5-star every meal! Shout out to Rudy who runs LVR, he is always available and he does care. Thank you LVR for making my father's last year as comfortable as possible. Terry Stephenson

I moved my father here about 3 months ago after a horrible time at a different assisted living. Let me tell you, night and day. This place is Great. The food is good. The caregivers are wonderful. My Father is so happy with his new place. He didn't want to move originally even though he was unhappy where he was but he and our family couldn't be happier with our choice. Everyone is friendly , the nurses are attentive and it seems as everyone is happy to be there. Everyone I ask says they have worked there 4 years or more! ... read more

I would give a zero rating if that was a choice. This facility was unsatisfactory in many ways and too many to list here

I moved into La Vida Real September 15, 2022. I have met many new friends and the staff is outstanding.I enjoy the activities and have gone on a few outings, loved every minute and felt safe and confident with the bus drivers. Our dining room is beautiful and the food is to my liking. I have a 1 bedroom apartment that is roomy and bright i especially love my balcony, my apartment overlooks the awesome pool area. I love it here and feel very cared for.
